Trautmann^p,t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies| OR: 64| BF| CD

9/2

Slow starts are becoming an issue and couldn't overcome another one at Dundalk last time but had won well here on penultimate start and as long as he breaks on reasonable terms looks set to be a player.

3/1

In good form here in 2016 was then absent for a long time but gradually showing a bit more with each run back and last run had a recent boost when the third won since. Well treated now and one to consider.

Cross Swords³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 60

All runs have been on the AW. Stepping up from 1m2f but hasn't convinced with his stamina to suggest the longer trip is the answer.

Likes it here and following a C&D win ran another solid race when second over 2m. The drop back is not a problem and should figure.

Forecasts

Kirtling (3/1), Good Man (3/1), Trautmann (9/2), Visitant (11/2), Highway Robber (7/1), Clovelly Bay (8/1), Call Me Madam (16/1), Cross Swords (28/1), Midas Maggie (66/1), Fiosrach (100/1)

Hopefully TRAUTMANN won't give too much ground away at the start and is taken to pick up his fourth win since the summer. Visitant may be revived by coming back to this venue and along with Kirtling look the chief dangers.
