Drakefell²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 80| C

7/2

Not at his best on last two starts and now drops considerably in grade. Untested beyond 6f, but the way he stayed on here in November offers encouragement he could be the first family member to win over this far.

Form: 19937-6

Los Camachos³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 77| C

5/4

Ran to a mark of 86 when scoring in similar company on Tuesday at Wolverhampton (8.5f). Went close in a decent C&D claimer in November and the one to beat again this time.

Form: 9204-71

Loyalty^v²⁹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D Shaw| OR: 85| C| D

2/1

Heavily favoured by the terms in this claimer. However, he is returning from a 10 month break and generally needs a run or two following a break. Stable's horses have been running a lot better lately.

Form: 610551-

Ventriloquist¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 62| CD

7/1

Would be receiving a lot more weight from these rivals in a handicap and he arrives on the back of a dismal run last time.

Form: 90/52-60

Forecasts

Los Camachos (5/4), Loyalty (2/1), Drakefell (7/2), Ventriloquist (7/1)

Loyalty would take all the beating on these terms if his fitness could be proven. On this occasion it may pay to side with LOS CAMACHOS who won showed a good turn of foot to score on Tuesday to beat an 85-rated off level weights. That suggests he has less to do here than the official ratings suggest and he can follow up. Drakefell's two successful relatives, including full-brother Tomlily, are both sprinters. Richard Hannon's charge has tread a similar path but steps up to 7f and drops in class. His claimer is good value for his 7lbs and that would make him hard to beat if the switch helps him produce his best.
