3/1

Winner of a match race in a point-to-point over 3m at Chaddesley Corbett (good) at the end of May. One to note off what looks a fair mark on his return to Rules racing.

Form: 67P3-21

What A Laugh²⁶

Age: 13| Weight: 11-1| J: Alex Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 99| CD

4/1

Finished a good second at Bangor (3m, good) on his penultimate outing and not beaten far over C&D subsequently. Of interest once more.

Fair Frank³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: T J Phelan| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 98

25/1

Southwell handicap chase winner over an extended 1m7f last October. Pulled up on his return from a break last month and probably best watched at present.

Form: 53417-P

Forecasts

King Spirit (11/4), Drumhart (3/1), What A Laugh (4/1), Doitforjoe (11/2), Deadly Move (6/1), No Dice (14/1), Fair Frank (25/1)

Winner of a point-to-point last time DRUMHART looks capable of registering his third chase victory on his first start back under Rules. The selection had some good point-to-point form last season and can get the better of What A Laugh who ran well over this C&D on his most recent outing. Third place can go the way of King Spirit who ran well on his second run back from wind surgery last time out.
