Fit from hurdling and won in good style last time at Leicester over 1m4f on his last start and is 2lb well-in under his penalty. Looks to have a good chance of following up here in a similar contest.

The cheekpieces go on for the first with this one and he finished last on his latest start and dropped 3lb for that run and 2f in trip.

Has shown some fair form in the past but running very poorly of late over hurdles and on the Flat and other are preferred here.

8/1
Only win came in a Fairyhouse claimer when trained in Ireland and her best run came on her penultimate start here over this trip. Wasn't in the same form last time but ought to be able to get involved off this mark.

5/1
Still a maiden after nineteen starts but does have plenty of placings to her name and generally gives her running. Overall profile isn't that appealing in win terms but not hard to see her getting placed here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 8-13| J: Aled Beech| T: A W Carroll| OR:  52
5/1
Has shown some fair form in maidens but has yet to fire for his current yard and others much preferred here.

Lagopus14
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-10| J: George Bass(5)| T: D M Simcock| OR:  49
20/1
Makes her handicap debut after three runs in maidens and that form is decidedly modest. She is bred to be better than this though and off a mark of 49 she could go well going handicapping for the first time.

Forecasts

Shining Romeo (10/11), Go On Gal (5/1), Jeremy's Jet (5/1), Saga Sprint (8/1), Aumerle (16/1), Lagopus (20/1), Duke Of Sonning (40/1)

Verdict

It’s hard to see past the claims of SHINING ROMEO here after his romp last time and given how well he won last time and he is well-in under his penalty. The opposition looks a little thin but both Saga Sprint and Go On Gal could snatch a place although the most interesting contender is Lagopus on her handicap debut. Given her breeding it’s not hard to see her being better than a mark of 49.
  1. Shining Romeo
  2. Lagopus
  3. Go On Gal
