6/1

Successful on this card two years ago and was the winner of a handicap chase over an extended 1m7f at Hexham (good) in May. Disappointed on only subsequent start but interesting off a mark 1lb higher than for that Hexham success.

7/4

Placed on three of his last four starts including when 16L second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last time out. Races off a 2lb lower mark on this occasion and looks likely to run well once more.

Forecasts

Malangen (7/4), Salto Chisco (11/4), Starlight Court (7/2), Burning Issues (6/1), Civil Unrest (6/1), Mullinavat (20/1), Lord De La Mine (20/1)

The veteran CIVIL UNREST can put a disappointing latest effort behind him to register a victory in this small field handicap chase. Malangen, one of two four-year-old's in the field can claim second for the third consecutive time while the other youngster Lord De La Mine, who receives weight from all of his rivals can finish third.
