Good effort last time out but is still 3lb higher than his last winning mark. Stays the trip well but needs everything to go his way on these terms.
On a losing losing run but is well handicapped as a result and claims enhanced by teaming up with a jockey that is making a name for himself; he is very capable of guiding one home if he gets the right ammunition. A partnership to consider in a weak race.
In fair form in low-grade races but limitations exposed in a similar race over C&D last summer. Respectable effort over 7f on his reappearance though and the return to this trip is sure to suit. Yard in good form so one to monitor closely.
Now back on a handy mark and has paid his way on the AW. But his turf form does leave him with plenty to prove at present and others make more appeal just now.
Much better on the AW and seems to reserve her best for Wolverhampton. Had just the three outings on turf but is potentially open to a bit of improvement from 3lb lower than her last winning mark. Can be unpredictable so does still look a risky option for win only purposes.
Consistent at a lowly level and may be inspired by his first visit to Colwick Park. Well handicapped and is versatile regarding his preferred ground. Posted a solid effort at Leicester on Bank Holiday Monday, so interesting he is being kept busy.
Recent form over hurdles has been poor and, given that he has failed to get his head in front under either code from 16 previous attempts, he isn't too difficult to leave out for the betting plans from out of the weights.
Forecasts
Miningrocks (15/8), Fantasy Gladiator (3/1), Frantical (5/1), First Summer (8/1), Pensax Lady (10/1), Shirataki (12/1), Heat Storm (14/1)
SHIRATAKI ran a blinder at Leicester on Monday and doesn't have too much to find to get competitive in this company now he's proved his well being. Fantasy Gladiator is an admirable veteran that can never be ruled out at this level, so is also worthy of consideration, while Frantical and Miningrocks are forwarded as the best of the rest.
- Shirataki
- Fantasy Gladiator
- Frantical
