4/1
Still a maiden after 23 starts, but fared better when second over C&D last time, for all he seemed to throw away a winning chance. Competitive on form.

9/2
Long-standing maiden who ran well when fourth of 14 in a 1m4f handicap at Kempton last time, considering he really needs a stiffer test. Not ruled out.

7/4
Improving since move to current yard, and built on earlier promise when winning readily at Southwell last time. No reason why he won't be as effective here, and looks the one they all have to beat.

Age: 9|  Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Wintle| OR:  43
20/1
On a lengthy losing run stretching back to 2015, and this trip would appear to be beyond his optimum, so easy to oppose.

14/1
Just one win on the Flat to his name in 24 starts and that came over 2m at Tramore back in 2016. Can miss the break and no signs of a revival in recent outings.

Solitary Sister19
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: John Berry| OR:  40

Some promise initially for Richard Spencer, but she has failed to progress, and well held since move to current yard.

The Lock Masterv14
Age: 12|  Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR:  44
33/1
Has been a grand servant to this yard, but age has caught up with him, and regressive on the whole in recent times; not hard to oppose away from Fibresand.

Falls Creekb15
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR:  46
6/1
Less exposed than most at this level, and posted her best effort when second of 13 to Clearance in a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. One to bear in mind with further progress likely.

Gemologist35
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR:  50
7/1
Ran poorly on her most recent Flat spin, but has some ability, and didn't run too badly over hurdles at Catterick last month. Not dismissed.

Forecasts

Croeso Cymraeg (7/4), Banta Bay (4/1), Caracas (9/2), Falls Creek (6/1), Gemologist (7/1), Sea's Aria (14/1), Rocket Ronnie (20/1), The Lock Master (33/1), Solitary Sister (50/1)

Verdict

CROESO CYMRAEG has run well on all starts since joining James Evans, and can follow up his Southwell success. Falls Creek and Banta Bay can give him most to do.
  1. Croeso Cymraeg
  2. Falls Creek
  3. Banta Bay
