Irish Thistle13
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-12| J: James Banks| T: D L Williams| OR:  98
7/2
The form of his latest start was given a boost with a winner on Monday, so he has to be respected. However, his recent completion rate is a little shaky and he wouldn't be one to trust implicitly under the burden of topweight. Now 20lb below his last winning mark, so very well handicapped on the pick of his efforts, though.

Very Livep15
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-9| J: Fergus Gregory(10)| T: P R Webber| OR:  95
8/1
Set to race from 3lb below his last winning mark, so has claims on these terms. However, recent evidence suggests that he may be on the downgrade. Looks a tricky ride for a 10lb claimer to cope with, even though he is a capable lad, who rode a winner for the stable at the start of this month.

Cruising Byep,t56
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-4| J: Dave Crosse| T: G Hanmer| OR:  90
50/1
Been well beaten in all his starts for his new yard (tailed off in each of hs last two starts) and has too much to prove to be recommend as a live-wire, even in this modest company.

Blackwood Rover30
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-8| J: L P Aspell| T: J R Jenkins| OR:  80
12/1
Has gone well at this course in the past but showed little in two starts after a long time on the sidelines. Too much to prove just now and others preferred.

Benabilityv28
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Alan Johns(3)| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  77
9/2
Ran on to finish a poor fourth wearing a first-time visor latest, which leaves him with plenty to find just now. This is a modest race, but he lacks scope for improvement and is hard to fancy, even though he is currently on a rating 11lb below his only previous winning mark.

Horse silk
Miss Oscaroset15
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-4| J: James Best| T: P Henderson| OR:  76
10/3
Thriving on being kept busy and has to merit serous consideration in a weak event like this. Worth bearing in mind that she was rated 95 around this time last year, so has a little room for progress at the weights now that has found her level.

Horse silk
That's The Deal62
Age: 13|  Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: J R Cornwall| OR:  74
20/1
Been a while since he has won, so has been cut plenty of slack by the assessor. Seems to reserve his best for Fakenham but is presently so well handicapped that he has to merit close consideration in a race that may well be run to suit. One for the shortlist at least.
8
Horse silk
Lartetap79
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR:  68
7/2
Been steadily on the downgrade for a while and is 4lb out of the weights. Still, he does have a feasible chance of getting close to his old rival Miss Oscarose on these terms; even though he needs to post a more resilient effort than the one he gave the last time they encountered each other. One for the brave only.

Forecasts

Miss Oscarose (10/3), Irish Thistle (7/2), Larteta (7/2), Benability (9/2), Very Live (8/1), Blackwood Rover (12/1), That's The Deal (20/1), Cruising Bye (50/1)

Verdict

Most of these have been expensive to follow and are hard to win with. MISS OSCAROSE is at least running well at present,, though, and she get the nod ahead of That's The Deal, who is a capable veteran that can go well at an attractive price. Very Live has a chance on these terms, so it will interesting to note confidence from the betting ring in spite of a conditional rider being back in the plate (was unshipped the last time they were paired-off).
  1. Miss Oscarose
  2. That's The Deal
  3. Very Live
