Atlantic Storm^p,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 119| BF| D

9/4

Showed improved form to win very comfortably at Southwell (1m7½f, good) last month. Ran well when unable to follow-up at Uttoxeter and sound claims once again for a yard that won this in 2016.

Form: 857-212

Gris De Pron^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth| OR: 115| CD

11/1

Two hurdles wins in spring 2017, but has yet to strike in four starts over fences since joining current yard. Mark is falling for this course winner and it wouldn't be the biggest surprise were he to bounce back here.

Form: 44F-354

Go West Young Man^v⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 105

11/2

A quirky character at the best of times but this rider managed to get the best out of him in the first time visor to win at Perth last week. Pnealty makes life tougher and far from certain to be as interested today.

Form: 52-U461

Ballycamp^t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: A Pogson| T: C T Pogson| OR: 105

10/1

Now a 20-race maiden under rules and hasn't looked like a winning a race for some time. Struggled back in a maiden hurdle last time and returns to fences today. Others preferred.

Form: 423-336

Old Salt^p,t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Alain Cawley| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 104| BF

11/10

Sent off favourite when just failing to beat Go West Young Man at Perth last time. Has a pull in the weights with that rival but another who is far from certain to back that up.

Form: 48-P112

Code Of Law^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Reed⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

18/1

Took a rather marked step forward from his reappearance producing a career best to win at Fontwell by 6L. Couldn't deal with the 8lb rise next time and another not to put maximum faith in.

Form: 143-P1P

Forecasts

Old Salt (11/10), Atlantic Storm (9/4), Go West Young Man (11/2), Ballycamp (10/1), Gris De Pron (11/1), Code Of Law (18/1)

Several of these are not certain to back up some recent good efforts and therefore are worth taking on. Ballycamp is on a really dangerous mark on his old form so if any money arrived for him it is likely to be significant. This could be a good opportunity for ATLANTIC STORM to bag another win as he is the only one in this field certain to run his race.
