Carli King^b¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr T A McClorey⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 116

6/1

Stays well having won over 3m5f in the past but disappointing the last twice including when fifth over that distance at Fakenham (good-to-firm) last time out. Seeking his first win in over two years today.

Form: 99246-5

Brownville^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 115| C

4/1

Successful three times under rules but well held at Ffos Las (good) over 3m last time out. Previous fourth at Bangor (soft) over an extended 3m5f was a fair effort and is likely to appreciate any softening of the ground.

Form: 422446-

Royals And Rebels^b,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann| OR: 112| D

7/2

14L winner of a handicap chase over an extended 3m1f at Plumpton (good-to-firm) a fortnight ago. Races off an 11lb higher mark here but remains open to improvement with the trip and ground both appearing to suit.

Form: 4241P-1

Only Gorgeous³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Lucy Gardner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 112

14/1

Chasing a hat-trick but could finish only third over an extended 3m4f at Taunton (good-to-firm) last month. Won off this mark at Exeter (good-to-firm) last month and an interesting runner in this contest.

Form: 425113-

Walkami^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108

6/1

Winner over 2m4f at Worcester (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Had failed to complete on each of his two previous starts including at Chepstow over 3m2f last month. Stepping up in trip today.

Form: 778UU-1

Patsys Castle^v³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 105| D

5/1

Racing over hurdles in the main of late finishing third of eight over 2m7f at Bangor (good) last time out. Races off his significantly lower chase mark today and represents a stable with a 25% strike-rate of late (3/12).

Form: 115473-

Irish Thistle^p²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: James Banks| T: D L Williams| OR: 96| BF

9/1

Finished in the first three on his previous four starts prior to finishing fourth at Warwick (good) over 2m4f last time out. Won off a 22lb higher mark in March 2016 but has stamina to prove today.

Form: F3232-4

Trafalgar^p,t⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: R Patrick⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 78| BF| C

10/1

Beaten 8L into third over an extended 2m6f on good-to-soft ground here last week and losing run now stretches back to October 2013. Races from out of the handicap and likely to struggle here.

Form: 93/FP2-3

Forecasts

Royals And Rebels (7/2), Brownville (4/1), Patsys Castle (5/1), Carli King (6/1), Walkami (6/1), Irish Thistle (9/1), Trafalgar (10/1), Only Gorgeous (14/1)

PATSYS CASTLE represents a yard in good form and races off his significantly lower chase mark here having raced over hurdles last season. The selection won off a mark 10lb higher than he races off today over hurdles at Newbury in November and he is taken to get the better of Royals And Rebels who is open to improvement and was the easy winner of his most recent start at Plumpton. Walkami is another to have won last time out and he is taken to finish third here.
