6/1
Previous course winner of a plenty higher mark but has been in no sort of form of late, pulled up on last two starts. Needs to bounce back.

9/2
Complicated type and only managed to get his head in front once to date but seems prone to jumping errors and hasn't shown much for this yard in two starts to date.

5/2
Came on from reappearance with a respectable fourth last time out but the suspicion remains he wants better ground than what he's likely to encounter today. Good chance nonetheless.

5/1
Back down to a reasonable mark and best run for a while when runner-up at Market Rasen last time. Should build on that and ought to be feared here.

3/1
Finally got his act together when winning over C&D last time and this track may have unlocked the potential in him. Has had jumping issues in the past though and entirely possible they haven't gone away. Others look more solid.

25/1
Only recorded one win from 29 starts and that came in 2012 on much faster ground than forecast today. Has plenty to prove returning from a 20-month absence.

Roparta Avenue221
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR:  88
25/1
Only managed one win to date; that came two starts back and the handicapper put him up nearly a stone for that. Failed to back up over C&D next time and reaction for prior win seems harsh from the assessor.

Forecasts

Bears Rails (5/2), The Chuckmeister (3/1), Sonny The One (9/2), Amiral Collonges (5/1), So Fine (6/1), How's My Friend (25/1), Roparta Avenue (25/1)

Verdict

A somewhat "trappy" affair but AMIRAL COLLONGES bounced back to form with a second at Market Rasen last time and appears to be feasibly handicapped on old form. One would think Bears Rails will string some notable performances together at some point in his career and the stable are obviously in flying form. If The Chuckmeister can put a clean round of jumping in, he should prove a danger to all. 1. Amiral Collonges 2. Bears Rails 3. The Chuckmeister
