Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 75| D

6/1

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 69| D

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: S L Keightley| OR: 67| D

7/2

Placed third on both starts since returning from a beak including over 1m at Kempton last time out. Caught the eye having met trouble in running that day and is of interest stepping back up in distance.

Form: 3-12433

Forecasts

The Jean Genie (7/2), Bollihope (7/2), Kaser (4/1), Mayfair Spirit (5/1), Boutonniere (6/1), Amjaady (8/1), Grand Inquisitor (20/1), Swilly Sunset (20/1), Foxes Flyer (33/1)

BOLLIHOPE shaped as if the step back up in trip would suit when running well over shorter last time out and he can register a victory in the concluding race on the card. Top weight The Jean Genie has placed three times since returning from a break and she can take second spot ahead of Kaser who should appreciate the return to this surface.
