Rolling Maul^b⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 135| CD

20/1

A C&D winner who won a hat-trick of races at the back end of 2018. Made his reappearance at Cartmel last week where he was a long way down the field. Will improve from his opening run of the year.

Form: 41118-6

Kings Ryde³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 131

4/1

Won at Wincaton over the extended 2m5f trip on his return to action in March following a lengthy lay-off. Since then has been beaten twice when going off at a short price. Expected to bounce back and one to consider.

Form: 123/153-

Theatrebar^t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 130| CD

7/2

A C&D winner here last June. Since then he won at Wetherby over the extended 2m3f trip. He was then second at Uttoxeter on his latest start where he had 5lb more on his back. Up in trip and a leading contender.

Form: 60851-2

Settimo Milanese³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 129| CD

7/4

Returned to action with success at Kempton (2m5f) in a two-runner race on his last start. Is a C&D winner and back in handicap company where he could still be at a winnable mark. One for the shortlist.

Form: 211251-

Solighoster⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 122

9/1

Has won twice over hurdles but the majority of his best form is on heavy ground. Pulled-up last time at Ffos Las. Will have needed that run but other still preferred here.

Form: 8F4F9P-

Groundunderrepair^v¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: C Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 117

16/1

Versatile gelding as he has won at 2m and 3m over hurdles. Had a wind-op back in February and since then has been long down the field on his two starts. Others preferred.

Form: 1/537P-6

Mere Anarchy^t,v²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: R Stephens| OR: 109

11/2

Should have won last time at this track over 2m4f but a mistake at the last and a high head carry in the home straight cost him. Gone up 5lb which won't help his chances.

Form: 37353-2

Forecasts

Settimo Milanese (7/4), Theatrebar (7/2), Kings Ryde (4/1), Mere Anarchy (11/2), Fairmount (8/1), Solighoster (9/1), Groundunderrepair (16/1), Rolling Maul (20/1)

THEATREBAR has been in fantastic form recently and this step up in trip should suit him now at this age. His yard are in fantastic form and they could have another winner her. Settimo Milanese has won around here before over this distance and he seems off a fair mark, while Kings Ryde should be considered, despite being expensive to follow recently.
