3/1
Six time winner including at this meeting in 2014. Beaten 8L into second in a four runner contest when wearing a first time visor here on good-to-firm ground last month. Races off a 2lb lower mark than on that occasion and interesting once more.

11/8
On a hat-trick following a victory at Huntingdon over 2m4f last October and here over C&D on good-to-firm ground when returning from an absence last month. Races off a 5lb higher mark here but every chance of him following up with forecast ground conditions to suit.

3/1
Victorious over C&D in March 2015 and followed up at Exeter eight days later. Unraced since finishing a well beaten third of six at Warwick over 2m (good-to-soft) in May 2015. Worth a check in the market here.

4/1
Registered his first career victory over C&D in September 2016 and has won twice since including over an extended 3m1f here on good-to-firm ground last month. Beaten when unseating his rider over this C&D the following day and likely to run well here.

Forecasts

Perfect Timing (11/8), Gores Island (3/1), Jay Are (3/1), Little Windmill (4/1), Kingston (4/1)

Verdict

PERFECT TIMING has won each of his last two starts including over C&D last month and he is taken to defy a 5lb rise in the weights to complete the hat-trick here. Trainer Neil Mulholland has a 21% strike-rate (3/14) of late and the selection can improve on that here by getting the better of bottom weight Little Windmill who was turned out quickly prior to unseating having won at this track last month while Gores Island, a winner on this card in the past is taken to finish third today.
  1. Perfect Timing
  2. Little Windmill
  3. Gores Island
