2m1½f French hurdle winner who Jonjo O'Neill couldn't get into the winners enclosure. Last run on the flat back in February a decent third over 1m3f on the AW at Kempton. May need the run here but mark workable.

9/2
Comfortable win over C&D latest offers encouragement that he can overcome today's 7lb penalty. Draw however is a negative so certainly find this a tougher task.

Well beaten a fortnight ago on return from eight month absence. Fitness should be boosted but likely need another run and 1m4f form less convincing.

Five-time hurdle winner returned from four month absence when a well-beaten 12th of 14 over C&D latest. Much improved effort required here.

Two and a half years since he won but better efforts stepping back in trip to 1m2f last twice including good second latest. Stays 1m4f no problem although often weak in the finish.

Dual hurdles winner, effective at up to 3m. Likely find things happening too quickly here particularly from widest draw.

Shade disappointing latest after a good second behind a bang in form hat-trick scorer Ben Rumson the time before. Pat Smullen back onboard here and appears a likely sort.

Maiden of six who was well beaten in lone start of the year and for this yard all the way back in April. Hard to know what to expect here but tough to be confident.

Shown little in four starts this year. Fully 10lb lower now than last winning flat mark (2015) and champion jockey booking suggests better expected today.

Ran well two starts back over hurdles where she finished second. Competitive off higher marks lately on the level so if she handles AW first time on the surface she could go close.

Unplaced in ten starts, eight on the flat and the last two over hurdles. Mark continues to fall and quicker surface should help but hard to be confident.

Done most of his racing over 1m2f but this a belated first crack at 1m4f. Worth a try at it but needs something to revive fortunes after a spell in the doldrums over trips from 7f to 1m2f.

Second of 14 as favourite here last time behind a comfortable winner on return to the flat. Mark unchanged today so looks a leading player.

Returns to this yard for second time as he continues to search for elusive first win in this his 20th start. Little to suggest he will get it however.

Forecasts

Marino Marvel (11/4), Rock On Dandy (9/2), Asian Wing (9/2), Bog War (11/2), Dara Tango (10/1), Emily Square (12/1), High Kicker (14/1), Pillard (14/1), Shake The Bucket (14/1), Go Guarantor (16/1), No Way Jack (20/1), John Honeyman (20/1), Whatever It Takes (25/1), Glib Speech (33/1), Redwood Boy (50/1), War Room (66/1), Streak (66/1)

Verdict

ROCK ON DANDY was a most taking winner last time out where he positively hacked up. The wide draw today isn't ideal but he can overcome that and a 7lb rise to follow up. Dangers include Marino Marvel who was second last time out over C&D and High Kicker who was below par latest but running well before that.
  1. Rock On Dandy
  2. Marino Marvel
  3. High Kicker
