Samtu^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 74| CD

13/8

Has a good record here and got back to winning form when taking a weak C&D event off 3lb lower mark. He has won off higher marks in the past and not disgraced here last time out in a race where all of those who finished ahead of him were thriving.

Form: 32-5154

Brigadoon¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| CD

7/1

His losing run is starting to stack up now and he was well below form last time over C&D in a slightly better race than this. He does however look vulnerable to less exposed sorts with the handicapper not cutting him much slack.

Form: 66U226

The Resdev Way³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: P A Kirby| OR: 70

9/2

Has on occasions looked quite useful on the Flat and a recent run in a jumpers bumper may well have brought him along. Only had one run on Fibresand (finished 5th) and although he can race a little freely he's not out of this.

Form: 067-257

Katie Gale²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: R Brisland| OR: 62| CD

7/4

A three-time winner here and has shown some good form over this trip on Fibresand (2132) although she has something to find with Cousin Khee on their running from last time out over 2m2f. Figures well below her last winning mark and should be at home over this trip.

Form: 25506-3

Monzino¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| C

100/1

Appears to be getting more temperamental and the two wins on the Fibresand are a very distant memory now. Miles out of the handicap here and hard to see him figuring.

It looks as though trainer Hughie Morrison has found another good opportunity for COUSIN KHEE here as he goes for a Fibresand hat-trick despite the shorter trip and the 6lb penalty. The only worry would be that he didn’t travel as well as he can in his victory here on Sunday and he has a 4f shorter trip to contend with now. The opposition isn’t that strong though with the useful Flat horse The Redsev Way worth looking at in the market although the main dangers are likely to come in the shape of Samtu and Katie Gale, both of whom have form on this unique surface.
