9/2
7-15 under rules and most recently landed his first race over fences under a good ride from today's pilot. Beat a subsequent winner and a 5lb rise seems more than fair. Better on a sound surface so keep an eye on the weather and earlier races.

11/4
Landed three over fences last season and has done the same over hurdles this summer to amass a 6-15 record. Better on good ground and mark no more than fair. Most of these are rising in the weights and that improves his chances if it remains dry.

Landed two C&D events this summer but has struggled since being reassessed. Looks held by Strumble Head on running here in July.

13/8
Without a win since October 2015 but usually at his best when fresh. This looks easier than his latest assignments and off a career low mark too. Stable 3-10 in the last two weeks.

6/1
Boasts an 8-43 career record and 2-5 over C&D. Arrives in fine form but facing better rivals than of late and off his highest mark for two years.

Forecasts

Azure Fly (13/8), What Happens Now (11/4), Gingili (9/2), Calin Du Brizais (5/1), Strumble Head (6/1)

Verdict

The forecast for good-to-soft ground will concern connections of Gingili and What Happens Now. No further rain is anticipated and they threaten to serve up a treat on their current form. Both have their share of weight and AZURE FLY is picked to end a two year barren spell with his yard having made such a positive start to the campaign. The nine-year-old has produced some of his best performances following a break and lines up here on a career low mark in as easy a race as he has faced in some time.
  1. Azure Fly
  2. Gingili
  3. What Happens Now
