13/8

Placed three times already this season including when 6L third over 1m4f at York (good-to-firm) last month. Has since acquitted himself well over 1m2f and he is one for the shortlist in this contest.

11/2

Good effort in finishing 1L third over 1m2f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) on handicap debut in April. Shapes as if this step up in trip will suit and he is likely to play a leading role on this occasion.

Form: 8-833

Forecasts

Berkshire Spirit (13/8), Atticus Boy (11/2), El Borracho (6/1), Gripper (8/1), Barnay (8/1), Juneau (8/1), Betjeman (10/1), Lifeboat (20/1), Breakfast (20/1), Elusif (33/1), Stirling Value (50/1), Pastamakesufaster (66/1)

ATTICUS BOY shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when placing last time out and he can break his maiden in this three-year-old handicap. The selection hails from the in form David Lanigan yard and he can help improve on the trainers 25% strike-rate (2/8) in recent weeks. Berkshire Spirit has been in good form so far this season and he can register another placing here while Juneau can claim third on her first attempt at this trip.
