7/2

Has filled the runner up spot all four runs since Fontwell win in February and now 15lb above that victory but ran as well as ever at Ffos Las on recent comeback and this drop in trip will be ideal.

Form: 3122-22

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 119| C| D

33/1

All wins have been gained on Good ground and a worry that the easier surface isn't ideal. Yard in good form however, and now sports cheek pieces for the first time.

Asylo^p1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 118

4/1

Perth win in April on last run for previous yard and looked interesting on fiirst run for this trainer at Sandown recently but was let down by his jumping and never showed. First time cheek pieces may now help and surely better than he showed there.

Form: 84/691-7

Frankie Rapper^p1,t⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 113

4/1

A bit awkward in the finish when second at Huntingdon and another now trying cheek pieces for the first time. Yet to race on anything easier than good but if coping with the ground has the form to figure.

Form: 930-162

Jalingo^p,t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: A Stronge| OR: 113| D

15/2

Still in with every chance when falling three out at Warwick on latest and may well have figured had he stood up. Claims if putting in a clear round.

Form: 22/535F

100/1

Formerly with Gordon Elliott but showed nothing on debut for this stable at big odds last time and others preferred.

Passam^t²²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 109

14/1

Bumper win last winter. Gradually getting the hang of things over hurdles and open to improvement now stepping up in trip.

Desert De Bruyere⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 108

10/1

Handicap debut having ran on well from rear in a novice last time. Just a possibility he was flattered then but may have more to come.

Form: 4633

Silent Encore^t⁵⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: B I Case| OR: 107

25/1

Off for 18 months and has presumably had training problems so seems best to watch the market for any pointers.

Form: P7524/3-

Pershing Missile²¹⁵

6/1

Formerly with Noel Meade. Ran well both starts for this trainer in the spring and had a wind operation since last seen.

Form: 247722-

Discay⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby| OR: 104| D

20/1

Doesn't take much racing but did win on comeback run at Southwell. May have found the run coming too soon when disappointing shortly afterwards but his win was in a lower grade than this.

Form: P625/17

Sundance Boy^b²¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: T J Phelan| T: G Fierro| OR: 72

100/1

Bit better last time at Bangor but now races from 21lb out of the weights and work to do to figure.

Forecasts

Quiz Master (7/2), Asylo (4/1), Frankie Rapper (4/1), Pershing Missile (6/1), Jalingo (15/2), Desert De Bruyere (10/1), Passam (14/1), Discay (20/1), Silent Encore (25/1), Ablazing (33/1), Sundance Boy (100/1), Canny Tom (100/1), Bertie Moon (100/1)

QUIZ MASTER deserves compensation for his latest effort and double his career tally. In the hope he jumps better than at Sandown Asylo rates a danger with Jalingo completing the short list.
