Decisive winner over C&D last week and it is no surprise to see him turned out under a 6lb penalty. Obvious contender in his current mood.

Long time since he got his head in front, but was only narrowly denied by Kinglami over C&D three starts ago and probably found 7f stretching his stamina last time. Inching down the weights and has a sound chance.

14/1
Getting on a bit, but retains his enthusiasm and just touched off Field Of Vision over C&D last month. The latter is weighted to turn the tables on 2lb better terms, but it should be close again.

Maiden after seven starts. Has shown ability, but did not impress with his finishing effort when third of four at Windsor last time. Has questions to answer.

5/1
In fine form last season when he won five times, but has drawn a blank this year. Down to a lenient mark and shaped respectably over 5f at this venue last time. Respected back up in trip.

Forecasts

Gold Hunter (4/5), Field of Vision (7/2), Major Valentine (5/1), The Lamplighter (10/1), Kinglami (14/1)

Verdict

Field Of Vision is fancied to turn the tables on Kinglami at these weights and Gold Hunter is respected under his penalty, but the vote goes to MAJOR VALENTINE, who has hinted at a return to his form of last year when he won five times. The Lamplighter needs to up his game if he is to figure.
  1. Major Valentine
  2. Field of Vision
  3. Kinglami
