Mustmeetalady^b1⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 120| D

2/1

Stays all day and handles cut in the ground, not the most consistent around and was below form at Uttoxeter last time, but this looks an ideal chance to get back on track. On a good mark if the change of headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 0P893-3

Max Do Brazil^b,t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 114| D

4/5

Winner of his last two starts, battling well to score at Uttoxeter last time, seems to handle plenty of cut and although up another 4lb for latest success, this is not a tough race to win, and he looks the one to beat.

Form: 6/246-11

Letemgo¹³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 96| D

9/2

11yo that might well be on the downgrade now, but he'll relish these conditions and stays very well. Needs to be fit after a break but on a dangerous looking mark if he is, and cannot be ruled out of a tricky three-corner fight.

Forecasts

Max Do Brazil (4/5), Mustmeetalady (2/1), Letemgo (9/2)

Another three-runner affair and again, a case can be made for all three. Max Do Brazil comes here in form having won his last two starts, but a bit more weight on his back and deeper ground will both mean that he needs to pull out a bit more. Mustmeetalady is capable but inconsistent, but if the change of headgear has the desired effect, then he has chances, but old LETEMGO gets a good chunk of weight from the other pair, loves heavy ground and used to go well after a break. There were signs last year that he's not totally gone at he game yet, and this does look his chance.
