Sent off favourite at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) on latest start when finishing a close up third. Losing run stretches back two years and may find one or two too good again.

Has been below his best for some time and latest effort over this trip at Kempton (AW) was poor. Others much more convincing at present.

9/2
Shaped better at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time. Drops another 1lb in the weights and talented rider takes off another 5lbs. Not without hope of a better showing here and considered back on turf.

6/1
Yet to win in Britain but was in fair form at the back end of last year. Talented rider takes off 5lbs and market move would be interesting.

40/1
Hasn't won over further than 9½f which is a concern in these conditions. Has plenty on his plate over this trip today.

4/1
Only career victory came over C&D. Ran well at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last time, staying on strongly and suggesting return to this trip is a positive. Solid claims.

Briac52
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Pattinson| OR:  46
9/2
In good form over hurdles of late and his mark in that sphere would certainly give plenty of hope from a handicapping perspective back on the level. Race fitness assured and good run expected.

Moderate dual performer. Needs to improve somewhat on what we have seen so far to take a hand in this.

Forecasts

Ocean Gale (4/1), Spiritoftomintoul (4/1), Heron (9/2), Briac (9/2), Miskin (6/1), Montycristo (8/1), Chivers (16/1), Amadeus Rox (16/1), Anton Chigurh (40/1)

Verdict

Heron and Briac are both possibles to out-run their odds. Spritoftomintoul should be thereabouts on the back of a good effort at Doncaster. Preference is for OCEAN GALE who is a previous C&D winner and shaped last time like a step back up to this trip was a good move.
  1. Ocean Gale
  2. Heron
  3. Briac
