5/2
Has twice won on heavy ground recently in Ireland, both in handicaps. Beaten 25L from a mark of 111 last time, so now reverts to novices' company under a penalty. Will need some improvement to successfully defy that.

4/5
Improved for his Hexham debut when scoring here over C&D (heavy) in maiden company last month. Front pair were 24L clear that day and although it didn't look the strongest on paper, it is the best form by any in this field.

9/2
Knocked on the door on several occasions before finally breaking his duck at the ninth attempt over 2m3f here (heavy) in a handicap in December. Beaten from a mark of 106 last time, so reverts to novices' company with a bit to find.

Has shown only modest form in two starts over hurdles so far, both over this trip and on heavy ground, being beaten 23L and 26L respectively. Likely to appeal more when he has a handicap mark to work with.

33/1
Improved significantly for his Perth bumper debut when a 22L fifth at Kelso (2m, heavy) recently. Hood discarded this time and although he has potential for improvement, it remains to be seen if he can find enough to get competitive today.

Won a 1m2f Chelmsford maiden on the All Weather last March and is rated 74 in that code. Not seen since June. Gelded shortly after that and then sold for just £800. Now makes hurdles/stable debut and watching brief is advised.

Forecasts

Grand Morning (4/5), Cubomania (5/2), Trongate (9/2), Johnny Pedlar (33/1), Specialist (50/1), Budarri (66/1)

Verdict

GRAND MORNING has the pick of the form going into this after winning here last month, with the front pair well clear. With a tongue-tie added and scope for a fair bit more, he is taken to defy a penalty and follow-up. Cubomania has conditions to suit and looks likely to be the biggest danger to the selection, with Trongate and Johnny Pedlar the others who could get involved.
  1. Grand Morning
  2. Cubomania
  3. Johnny Pedlar
