1/1

Winner of a couple of sellers in the space of two days last month at this track and Stratford (both 2m) and since run well over 2m2½f when third at latter track. This trip on the edge stamina-wise.

Scored sole success (from 15) over timber at Wincanton (2m5½f, good to firm; 14-1) in March and has gone close in this grade since. Well below best on most recent start.

Cryogenics¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 83

18/1

10-race maiden over timber and looking regressive on recent evidence; hard to forecast a major turnaround despite dropping into this company.

Form: 940969

Forecasts

Skeaping (1/1), Todd (2/1), Harbour Force (3/1), Cryogenics (18/1)

Take your pick from the top pair on the card really, with both knowing how to win around this circuit. This trip may favour TODD, second over further last time out, especially if Callum McKinnes ensures it is a good stamina test. Skeaping has four wins this season and is in good heart but might just be found out late on. Harbour Force wasn't at his best last time but should best Cryogenics on these terms.
