Alsvinder¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68| D

15/8

Dual winner on the AW last year but struggled since returning to turf this spring. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he is one to note here.

Form: 13-5775

Pavers Pride^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: N Wilson| OR: 59| D

8/1

Maiden winner on good-to-soft ground last August, best effort since when short-head second of 11 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Strong claims.

Form: 449-782

Funkadelic²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 57| D

10/1

Sole success last season came in a three runner AW claimer, not really threatened since including at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, has plenty work to do.

Form: 146-585

Cobbler Quinn²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 56

15/2

Tagula gelding who cost €11,000 as a yearling, but has appeared to be a modest sort so far, including when fourth of 10 in novice at this course (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, close up until fading final furlong. Worth a try over minimum trip.

Form: 7-04

(2)

Minty Jones^p1⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45| D

25/1

2-64 record and last victory was three years ago. Has run well here in the past and that is a bigger positive than his recent efforts.

Form: 555-565

Forecasts

Big Lachie (6/4), Alsvinder (15/8), Cobbler Quinn (15/2), Pavers Pride (8/1), Funkadelic (10/1), Minty Jones (25/1)

Big Lachie has been in good form of late, with a win at Bath last month, and should go well here while Cobbler Quinn is well worth a look dropping to the minimum trip for the first time. Both however might be trumped by PAVERS PRIDE, who produced a taking effort at Ayr last time in second and can go one better now.
