5/1
Successful 12 times to date and made a pleasing debut for this yard when a close third at Ayr (heavy) last month. Disappointed on good ground subsequently and a return to the softer surface forecast today should suit.

4/1
Disappointing in the main since winning over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (soft) in April last year. Races off a mark 12lb lower than for that victory today.

5/2
Decent effort when third over 2m7f at Worcester (good) last time. Handles heavy ground and he races off a mark 4lb lower than for his most recent success.

Well beaten since winning over hurdles at Huntingdon (3m1f, good-to-soft) 12 months ago and blinkers worn for the first time when pulling up last time are retained today.

6/1
Put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him when wearing blinkers (retained) for the first time to finish 6L second at Exeter (3m, soft) last month. Often tries to make all.

11/2
Had finished in the first two on four consecutive starts prior to disappointing at Hereford (3m1f, soft) two weeks ago. One for the shortlist if reproducing his previous Exeter second.

Well held over shorter on first two starts for this stable but returned to form when second over an extended 3m1f at Ffos Las (heavy) last time out. Racing from out of the handicap today.

Forecasts

Horatio Hornblower (5/2), Shanty Town (3/1), Waldorf Salad (4/1), Grandads Horse (5/1), Paddy The Oscar (11/2), Themanfrom Minella (6/1), Cadeau George (7/1), Astigos (20/1)

Verdict

GRANDADS HORSE drops markedly in grade today having finished well beaten in a Class 2 contest last time out and with that in mind he can go two better than when finishing third on heavy ground at Ayr on his debut for this yard last month. The veteran Paddy The Oscar can give the selection most to do by returning to form following a disappointing effort last time out while Shanty Town can register his third consecutive placed effort.
  1. Grandads Horse
