7/4

6L win under today's rider over C&D recently and despite the 8lb rise is still able to race in the same grade. Clearly in good heart as that followed a good run on the Flat and looks sure to play a major part.

Form: 7-0U771

Kereman²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: William Marshall⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 95

9/4

Lightly raced and justified support after a lay off when getting off the mark at Uttoxeter last month over 2m. The runner up that day has franked the form and gives the impression this longer trip will suit.

Form: 4455-1

Sixties Idol^b,t⁶⁵

10/1

Disappointing under both codes since a Fontwell win off this mark last summer and hopes rest on a wind operation proving beneficial.

14/1

Bit better on soft ground at Taunton last time and this faster ground shouldn't be a concern but probably needs to eke out a bit more for win purposes.

Form: 42PFP4

Cintex^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 84

14/1

Has dropped 28lb in the ratings since last summer and has offered little to show he can arrest the slide. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: P34P66

Buckeye Shan¹⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 76

10/3

Hard to fancy on form this term but having first run for this yard and worth noting in the market for that reason.

Form: 844780

Morning Sequel^p,t⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁶⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 67

40/1

Was in the shape of showing improved form when brought down 2 out on latest and if she can build on that isn't without a chance despite once again been out of the weights.

Form: 45-096B

Pomme De Nuit⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 66

25/1

Showed nothing for previous yard and it was a similar story on first run for this trainer and hard to make a solid case for.

Forecasts

Age Of Wisdom (7/4), Kereman (9/4), Buckeye Shan (10/3), Don't Tell George (8/1), Sixties Idol (10/1), Cintex (14/1), Bouggietopieces (14/1), Little Rich (16/1), Pomme De Nuit (25/1), Morning Sequel (40/1)

In the hope that KEREMAN improves for the step up in trip, he can follow up his game win last time. Age Of Wisdom is the logical danger judged on course victory under this jockey with Buckeye Shan worth keeping an eye on for this yard.
