On the upgrade and bidding for a hattrick after two pleasing recent wins. 7lb penalty and top weight makes life harder, but sure to be in there pitching when push comes to shove.

Off the mark at 10th time of asking at Chepstow in March and raised 4lb for his troubles. Not certain to appreciate the quicker forecast ground though but remains a contender.

Big step up in trip today and has been disappointing in five starts since winning over 18f last May. The faster the ground the better, but looks to have plenty on his plate.

Very limited signs of ability in fours starts to date and respected trainer reaches for first-time blinkers in the hope of waking him up. Hard to recommend until showing at least some spark.

Won French bumper in February 2016 but hasn't done very well since crossing the Channel. Badly out of form last three starts and hopes rest on first-time cheekpieces helping the cause.

13/2
Appeared very moderate until winning twice in last three starts. Handicapper has taken a dim view of his latest success and raised him a whopping 12lb, but may still be on the up and has a better chance than many in this staying event.

Showed very little until improved effort when distant runner-up in Hereford novice event last time. Steps up over a mile in trip on this handicap bow which is a drastic change, and market may advise if further improvement anticipated.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Kieron Edgar(3)| T: L Hurley| OR:  91

Poor maiden beaten out of sight on all starts under rules so far. Hard to see him getting involved and others are much preferred.

5/1
At his best with plenty of give underfoot as he showed on penultimate start when winning in heavy ground at Plumpton. Well beaten at same track last time and needs plenty of rain to help his cause.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Bridget Andrews(3)| T: C Fryer| OR:  84
10/1
Has struggled to stay this trip in the past and question mark again over his stamina at this distance. Light weight though and did win minor event over 6f less at Towcester in March. Needs to improve.

Forecasts

Honkytonktennessee (11/8), Minella Gathering (5/1), Anythingmayhappen (11/2), Sutter's Mill (6/1), Ultimate Dream (13/2), Goodnight Charlie (10/1), Psychocandy (14/1), Cheque En Blanc (20/1), Butney Island (20/1), Rapanui (22/1), Brown Paddy (50/1)

Verdict

HONKYTONKTENNESSEE has a good chance of landing the hattrick despite his big weight. With question marks over so many of his rivals he at least comes into the race in good form and appears to be improving. Ultimate Dream has taken a big hike in the weights since his last win but stays well and may be the one to take advantage if the selection fails to deliver. Anythingmayhappen and Sutter's Mill are others worthy of consideration.
  1. Honkytonktennessee
  2. Ultimate Dream
  3. Anythingmayhappen
