2/1

New yard have found the key to him now, easy win at Yarmouth (from Hope Is High) followed up by an even better effort at Lingfield. Drop back in trip possibly not ideal in this small field, but in such good form he may get away with it.

4/1

Running with great consistency at present, winning a claimer at Catterick back in May but has found life a little harder in handicaps since, and looks right up to his mark at present. Trip and ground fine but may have to settle for the places again.

Abel Tasman^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: E Walker| OR: 74

11/4

Winner over 10f at Haydock in May, and ran equally as well back there in June, but a little below par when tried over this trip last time out (weakened late) and now cheekpieces applied. Little bit to prove over this distance and others preferred.

Hope Is High¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: G Mosse| T: John Berry| OR: 73| BF

5/2

Has ground to make up on Its'afreebee on Yarmouth running but is 9lb better off for 3½l, which offers hope, but hasn't quite hit the heights she did last season as yet. Chances if she can refind her best form, but this trip may be on the short side.

Forecasts

Its'afreebee (2/1), Hope Is High (5/2), Abel Tasman (11/4), Be Perfect (4/1), Liquid Gold (9/2)

ITS'AFREEBIE is dropping back in trip, which is of some concern, but he travels so well in his races he may well get away with it on this galloping track. He's taken to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Liquid Gold, who might have a bit more to offer in the first time headgear, and Be Perfect, who runs his race more often than not but finds winning hard. Hope Is High hasn't quite hit top gear this year as yet but would be a danger if she can find her form.
