Dr Julius No²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: M McGrath| OR: 77

33/1

Down in class but continues to be well beaten and despite dropping in the weights is best watched.

Form: 364-678

Helfire³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 75| CD

6/1

Will be fitter for her two runs back and didn't get a clear run at Wolverhampton last start. Back up in trip over a C&D that saw her last win, she should be primed for a big run.

Form: 1332-65

(5)

Bold Prediction²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 73| CD

2/1

Now 13lb lower than his last win and will appreciate the drop in class after a close-run effort last start. Was possibly flattered by a slow early pace there but should be dangerous in a weak race.

Form: 058-864

(3)

Mister Musicmaster²¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R J Hodges| OR: 71| CD

14/1

Has twice won fresh earlier in his career but tends to be better for a run. His last three runs have all come at Bath and is arguably better on the turf.

Form: 777016-

Bridge Of Sighs⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: L Carter| OR: 69| C| D

6/1

Has gone close on his last two, including over the C&D and is clearly racing off a decent mark. Hung badly right at Kempton which cost him his winning chance but is suited by this track and likely to go close.

Form: 5487-23

(6)

Ronnie The Rooster⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: J L Eyre| OR: 67| D

6/1

Got an easy lead at Wolverhampton on his stable debut but didn't quite see out the trip over slightly further. Probably needed the run after a lengthy absence and still open to improvement so should be primed for a big run over his optimum trip.

Form: 43227-4

Accomplice²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: M Blanshard| OR: 66| D

13/2

Hold-up performer who went close when suited by a strong pace over the C&D last start. Would have won but for running very wide and while a reproduction will see her go close, she is inconsistent.

Form: 706-302

(8)

Presence Process³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: P Phelan| OR: 61| CD

9/2

Won twice over C&D before another solid run when up a further 4lb. However up in class and has previously found this level beyond him.

Form: 68-2115

Forecasts

Bold Prediction (2/1), Presence Process (9/2), Ronnie The Rooster (6/1), Helfire (6/1), Bridge Of Sighs (6/1), Accomplice (13/2), Mister Musicmaster (14/1), Dr Julius No (33/1)

Bold Prediction is entitled to run well after a narrow defeat at Chelmsford but preference is for RONNIE THE ROOSTER who will be well suited by the step back in trip and should come on for his debut for his new stable following a lengthy absence. He will be particularly dangerous if given an easy lead while Hellfire must also be considered after running better than the bare result at Wolverhampton last time.
