Baron Du Plessis⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 102| BF

2/1

Still a maiden after 15 starts but no problem with attitude. Trip probably stretched his stamina at Hereford (3m1f, soft) last time so step back in trip here is a positive.

Form: 55-5233

Silent Man^t¹¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: S Bowen| T: T H Weston| OR: 102| BF| CD

13/2

In-and-out performer that has posted two good efforts of late. This requires a career best on the back of four month break.

Form: 8P1P13

What A Laugh³²⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 12-1| J: J McGrath| T: G Hanmer| OR: 102| D

25/1

Oldest in the line up at 13 and comes here on the back of almost a year off the track and was on the downgrade when last seen.

Form: 6P32-UP

Mondo Cane^p⁴⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: A Pogson| T: C T Pogson| OR: 99| C

6/1

Very consistent in and around this mark without winning. Likely to run well again but may find one or two too good.

Form: 63U232

Derryfadda⁹⁰¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: David England| T: S England| OR: 97| D

7/1

Not been seen for well over two years. Won last start in some style off a mark of 94 when last seen and if he's fully tuned up for this reappearance it would be no surprise to see him appear very well treated.

Form: 112231/

Like Sully¹¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe| OR: 91

8/1

Plumpton specialist who comes here on the back of a four month break. This trip stretches his stamina and likely best watched today.

Form: P5-7646

Chill In The Wood⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: M D Grant| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 85

25/1

Still a maiden at the age of nine and likely to find this tough going.

Form: 75636/U

The Jugopolist^b¹²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: J R Cornwall| OR: 80| CD

25/1

Very hard to fancy based on recent efforts but as a result his mark is falling quite quickly. Two of his four victories have been around here so a better showing is not completely out the question.

Form: 256-6PP

Midnight Mustang²⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: M Hamill⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 78| D

13/2

The cheekpieces that seemed to make a difference last season have been left off today. Needs to bounce back from a couple of average efforts so far this season.

Form: 3411-33

Heurtevent²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73

16/1

Probably on a fair mark but has been inconsistent of late. Worth taking on for win purposes.

Form: 74U024

Midnight Gem¹²⁸

Weight: 12-1| Age: 8

T: C E Longsdon J: Paul O'Brien

Forecasts

Baron Du Plessis (2/1), Mondo Cane (6/1), Midnight Mustang (13/2), Silent Man (13/2), Derryfadda (7/1), Like Sully (8/1), Midnight Gem (8/1), Heurtevent (16/1), Chill In The Wood (25/1), The Jugopolist (25/1), What A Laugh (25/1)

Not a strong affair and plenty of these come here with a bit to prove. A shock result would not be a surprise. Mondo Cane is sure to run his race and Silent Man could go well again on the back of a break. The selection and not a strong one is BARON DU PLESSIS. Unlike most of these his best days are likely still ahead of him and the drop in trip today could work the trick.
