Glengra^t1⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 99

9/2

Eight race maiden and ran well enough at Kempton (good) on return from over a year off the track to suggest he can be competitive here. Wears a tongue tie for the first time.

Form: 252P/6-6

Miss Conway²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 96| CD

7/2

Winner of this race off a 7lb lower mark a year ago and put a couple of disappointing efforts behind her when finishing third over an extended 1m7f at Hexham (good) last time out. Races off the same mark in this contest.

Form: 44F8-73

Elkstone^h³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 93

4/1

25 race maiden placed twice here in May including over C&D on good ground off this mark. Pulled up in first time cheekpieces (absent here) subsequently and of interest back at this venue.

Form: 244-22P

Rhythm Of Sound^t,v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 79

20/1

Dual winner over fences last November but has proved a disappointment in two starts since returning from a break and others hold stronger claims.

Form: F119-97

Forecasts

Miss Conway (7/2), Elkstone (4/1), Glengra (9/2), Dr Moloney (5/1), Monar Rose (7/1), Moores Road (8/1), Mullaghboy (16/1), Rhythm Of Sound (20/1), Stormbay Bomber (20/1), Desertmore View (25/1)

MISS CONWAY returned to form with a decent effort last time and she can record her sixth victory over fences and in the process repeat last years success in this contest. Monar Rose, placed on her most recent outing can claim second once more while Desertmore View who should appreciate the better ground compared to his latest point-to-point can finish third on his return to Rules.
