Placed third off this mark in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Warwick (good) in May. Changed yards since and worth a check in the market on his return from a break.

Below par ninth in a competitive handicap chase over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (good) last time out. Represents a yard in good form (10/50) in recent times and capable of better.

10/3
Well held 18L second in a three runner novice chae at Fakenham (3m, good) last time out. Struggled at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) prior to that and races off a mark 5lb higher than when winning over C&D two months ago.

11/1
Put a couple of non-completions behind him when finishing 39L seventh at Sandown (2m4f, good-to-soft) in April. Has won fresh in the past and he is worth a check in the market.

Finished a decent second to Comanche Chieftain in a good ground C&D handicap chase two months ago. Disappointing last time out however and others make more appeal.

Atlantic Stormt12

Winner of a selling hurdle over an extended 2m on good ground here by 7L last time out. Worth a check in the market on debut for this yard.

Forecasts

Activial (9/4), Comanche Chieftain (10/3), Cobra De Mai (4/1), Dream Bolt (17/2), Deauville Dancer (10/1), Markov (11/1), Eastlake (16/1), Atlantic Storm (20/1)

Verdict

MARKOV has gone well fresh in the past and he is taken to record a victory in this handicap chase. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions in his favour and he can get the better of Atlantic Storm who receives weight from all of his rivals and he is taken to finish runner-up on debut for a new stable. Third place can go to Cobra De Mai who represents a yard in good form at present.
  1. Markov
  2. Atlantic Storm
  3. Cobra De Mai
