Sir Lancelott^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Patrick Vaughan⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

16/1

Only raced twice since winning over C&D in December 2015, so obviously has he issues. Never dangerous in a similar event at Newcastle a fortnight ago, and looks opposable under topweight.

Form: 9-15878

Dove Mountain^p,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A L M King| OR: 60

9/1

Has gone well here in the past but this trip is his bare minimum - others preferred.

Form: 589-426

(3)

Rocket Ronnie^t1⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: B Barr| OR: 60

12/1

Likes to make the running and is getting the hang of things on an AW surface. Interesting he is tried with a tongue tie for the first time. One to bear in mind.

Form: 646073

(1)

The Dukkerer¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: J G Given| OR: 60

6/1

A consistent type at his own level but is another who appears to be better over a slightly longer trip.

Form: 604821

John Caesar^t⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 60

7/2

Good record on the AW and is back on a winning mark. Best coming late off a strong pace so very feasible he will have the race run to suit his style.

Form: 39344-4

(4)

Amor Invicto^b³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 61

11/2

Ran a good race in first time blinkers on his penultimate start but reverted to type last time out. Still a maiden and one to be wary of just now.

Form: D66-03

(6)

Sheer Intensity¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 59

15/2

Not without ability but he never seems to run two races the same. Is due a good one but cannot be relied upon to pull out all the stops.

Form: 222633

(10)

Poor Duke¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 56

50/1

Handles the AW but is on a long losing run. He may have needed the run at Newcastle last month as he was returning from a short break, but it was hardly an inspiring effort and didn't show enough to merit a solid recommendation.

Form: 1230-98

(8)

Ferryview Place^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 52

5/1

Modest performer who failed to build on his win here last month with two moderate subsequent efforts. He needs everything to go his own and his tendency to throw in the towel is off-putting.

Form: 850023

(13)

Mount Cheiron^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: R Ford| OR: 51

14/1

Closely matched with Ferryview Prince and makes a similar amount of appeal as a reliable betting proposition.

Form: 035585

(5)

Mcelligott¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R J Price| OR: 45

100/1

Shown nothing to suggest he is ready to relinquish his maiden tag just yet.

Form: 09-0

Forecasts

John Caesar (7/2), Ferryview Place (5/1), Amor Invicto (11/2), The Dukkerer (6/1), Pensax Lady (7/1), Sheer Intensity (15/2), Dove Mountain (9/1), Lutine Charlie (10/1), Rocket Ronnie (12/1), Mount Cheiron (14/1), Sir Lancelott (16/1), Poor Duke (50/1), Mcelligott (100/1)

Not the most consistent bunch ever to have been brought together on a racecourse but it does present a good opportunity for determined contender to shine. JOHN CAESARr fits the bill and he edges the nomination ahead of Rocket Ronnie and Sheer Intensity. 1. John Caesar 2. Rocket Ronnie 3. Sheer Intensity
