Goes in search of a hat-trick after two easy successes this year, winning by 6L last time at Pontefract. Should be hard to beat under a penalty (6lb well-in) provided the extra furlong doesn't catch him out.

Dundalk maiden winner over 1m when with Jessie Harrington but easy to back on yard debut last time at Ripon and finished well-beaten. Likely to struggle from this draw and may need relief from the handicapper.

His best efforts have come on soft ground over 6f so has a fair bit to prove now upped in trip on quicker ground. Not on a bad handicap mark but disappointing on two starts this season and looks up against it.

Latest win came at Southwell over the minimum trip but he's a versatile type how goes on a variety of ground and different trips. Trainer form would be a concern though and others probably a little better handicapped.

Not given much chance from his draw last time out at Catterick and may have needed his reappearance at Doncaster in April, shaping like he needed the run. Looks a little high in the handicap but his best efforts have come on fast ground over 7f so shouldn't be dismissed from his pea draw.

Better than the result suggests on his last couple of starts after being bought for 39,000 gns and finished a close third in a valuable handicap in France when trained over the Channel. Starts life for another new yard now and return to 7f should help get him back on track. Far from dismissed.

Losing run now stands at 20 and while he's well handicapped and travels very well in his races, he finds very little for pressure more often than not and he's probably better over 6f.

Rattled off a hat-trick last year, with two win coming over C&D and worked his way back down to a workable mark now. Disappointing in two starts this year but could do better back around here.

Lightly-raced gelding who ran a very poor race on his first outing since leaving his previous yard (Mark Johnston) and has something to prove at the moment; won't find life easy from this draw.

In the form of his life recently but hasn't looked quite as effective on turf in the past and will probably struggle in a race as competitive as this from a double figure draw.

Career best when winning at Kempton two starts back and not easy to reel in when allowed a soft lead. Others may be a little better handicapped but good place chance under his optimum conditions.

Showed very little on his return to the Flat at Dundalk last time and has just one win to his name in a claimer at Windsor when trained by Richard Hannon. Something to find on form and wide draw far from ideal.

Two wins from 24 starts and not won for nearly two years but still above his last winning mark. Perhaps capable of scoring from a mark this high but seems unlikely from this stall, even with a jockey who rides the course excellently booked.

Forecasts

Gin In The Inn (15/8), Twin Point (5/1), Lagenda (6/1), Fast Dancer (10/1), Dark Defender (11/1), Russian Soul (14/1), Sir Billy Wright (16/1), Edgar Balthazar (16/1), Zapper Cass (20/1), Gabrial The Tiger (22/1), Call Out Loud (25/1), Skeaping (25/1), Mulligatawny (28/1), Eqleem (100/1)

Verdict

GIN IN THE INN won't get a better chance of recording a hat-trick, with him due to go up further in the handicap when reassessed. If the extra furlong catches him out, Lagenda or Twin Point may be able to take advantage from nice draws.
  1. Gin In The Inn
  2. Lagenda
  3. Twin Point
