Earthly^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Jordan Williams| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 66| D

11/2

Best run for some time when finishing third of 14 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago. On an attractive mark and return to this trip is a positive. Player.

Form: 766-503

(8)

Walter Sickert^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: George Baker| OR: 65

4/1

Beaten a long way on his three starts so far. Cheekpieces added for his handicap debut and top amateur booked so improvement is highly likely.

Form: 5-00

(3)

Widnes^t,v¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss S M Doolan⁽³⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 64| D

7/1

Just one win from 22 starts notes caution but has been running well enough of late to think that he could get involved here once again.

Form: 525134

(6)

Castle Talbot^p⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Charles Clover⁽⁷⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 61| C

10/1

Well beaten on his return to action at Yarmouth in April. Should come on for that but is still 2lbs higher than for his last win and likely to find a couple of these too good.

Form: 42266-7

Dove Mountain^b,t²⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Alex Ferguson| T: O Murphy| OR: 60| BF| C

8/1

Won here over 1m2f last July before reverting to hurdles. Returns here from an eight month break so may well need this run but course form is a huge positive and will be a player if fully tuned up.

Shalamzar^p,t¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 59| D

66/1

Landed selling handicap hurdle at Catterick in December but hasn't shown much on the level since then. Last of eight at Lingfield latest and others are very much preferred.

Form: 108/9-87

(4)

Pour L'Amour²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58| D

3/1

Just one win from 25 starts and has looked one paced generally. Stable very quiet at present and others preferred.

Roy Rocket¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr R Birkett| T: John Berry| OR: 55| BF| CD

3/1

Loves it round here and has run a couple of solid races the last twice. Dropped 1lb and goes backup in trip which should suit and is likely to be hard to keep out the frame.

Form: 509233

Forecasts

Roy Rocket (3/1), Pour L'Amour (3/1), Walter Sickert (4/1), Earthly (11/2), Widnes (7/1), Dove Mountain (8/1), Castle Talbot (10/1), Shalamzar (66/1)

Both Earthly and Walter Sickert are interesting, particularly the latter now he goers handicapping. this can go the way of course regular ROY ROCKET who always runs well around here and should appreciate this step back up in trip.
