C&D winner last month off a 3lb higher mark earlier this month bringing his number of C&D wins this year to two. Ran in to Beach Bar last time out three weeks ago and has plenty to prove here.

Winner here in January over C&D beaten since but not disgraced in two starts including beaten over 4L last month. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Forecasts

Jon Ess (4/5), Beach Bar (3/1), Reckless Lad (7/1), Pushaq (10/1), Red Avenger (14/1), Yamato (16/1), Prove The Point (22/1)

Verdict

JON ESS and Beach Bar will possible go head to head right from the start here with both runners in fine form at the moment. Preference is for the former of the two who is 6lb better off for a 1½L defeat last time out though expect to see his rival fight him all the way to the line. Red Avenger and Reckless Lad can battle for third.
  1. Jon Ess
  2. Beach Bar
  3. Reckless Lad
