Alberto's Dream¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-8| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 115| D

11/4

Started his winning sequence off 35lb lower but value for far more than his winning margin last time. Relishes these conditions, but carries a big weight on a demanding track and that is a worry.

Form: 551111

The Kings Writ⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: James Best| T: K Woollacott| OR: 107| BF| D

5/2

Dual point-to-point winner this season and placed twice since returning to rules race. Beaten 6L over 2m7f at Taunton (soft) last time and there are certainly races to be won with him from this sort of mark.

Form: 0-11F22

Sutter's Mill³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 105| D

16/1

Jumped left last time and his form going right-handed does look inferior. That an obvious problem here as is the absence of cheekpieces.

Form: 78452P

Kilmurvy^p,t⁸⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR: 104| D

11/2

Nicely weighted on his 2015 form, but his three runs back from an absence suggest he is a long way below those levels.

Form: 5/32-944

Colmers Hill^p1⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 96

7/1

Placed in a couple of weak races at Fontwell this term and has been poor on his last two starts when failing to complete. Handles the conditions and stays well enough to be a threat in this company if cheekpieces have the desired effect

Form: 3P/32FP

General Girling^b¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Cobden| T: R J Hodges| OR: 89| D

7/2

Inconsistent sort who showed in January that he is capable of bouncing back from a run of inept performances. This is a much better race and he faces another potential struggle.

Forecasts

The Kings Writ (5/2), Alberto's Dream (11/4), General Girling (7/2), Kilmurvy (11/2), Dylanseoghan (6/1), Colmers Hill (7/1), Sutter's Mill (16/1), Monet Moor (33/1)

ALBERTO"S DREAM and The Kings Writ make most appeal although their big weights are a concern. The former relishes these conditions and appears to have been found another opportunity. The Kings Writ has potential off this mark, but there are stamina doubts regarding Dylanseoghan given the way he tired last time. Colmers Hill would be a danger if cheekpieces can persuade him to produce his best.
