11/2

A useful chaser on his day and not disgraced in Listed company two starts back but couldn't follow up at Sandown last week when tailed off and overall profile is patchy these days. First-time blinkers need to spark a revival.

Form: B4/F8-49

7/4

Good fourth of 16 here at the Showcase Meeting and was running well on only subsequent start at Haydock before a mistake three from home. Clearly in good form of late and won't mind soft ground; can go well for a yard that won this last year.

Form: 4/21U-42

5/4

Unexposed over fences and made amends for a disappointing effort at Exeter two starts back when winning at that course last time. Stays this extra 2f and will be hard to beat if he improves again.

Form: 1/124-21

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 129

25/1

Inconsistent sort who has been in poor form in two starts this campaign. Probably a little out of his depth in this company and a first-time tongue-tie needs to see him improve.

Form: 1P-3708

Shanroe Santos^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham| OR: 127

8/1

Didn't get far when unseating last time out and starting to look a shade exposed from a handicapping perspective. Best when held up off a strong pace and not guaranteed to get that here, others preferred.

Form: 17-633U

Wotzizname (5/4), Robinsfirth (7/4), Mysteree (4/1), Southfield Theatre (11/2), Shanroe Santos (8/1), Abracadabra Sivola (25/1)

WOTZIZNAME could be hard to beat if he improve again and he's taken to make it back-to-back victories after his success at Exeter last time. Robinsfirth looks the main danger for last year's winning trainer and his fourth here two starts back looks like some useful form. Mysteree is an interesting runner who wouldn't be without a chance if ready to go on his reappearance.
