Verne Castle^h¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: M Wigham| OR: 86| CD

9/2

Prolific C&D winner. Back in consistent form lately and scored again here last time. Up 3lb, but stable's runners continue in good form. Should go very close once again.

Form: 997-321

Restless Rose²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: S C Williams| OR: 83| CD

11/10

Has earned both her AW wins here over 5f/6f, the latest over the former trip last time out. Is just 1lb worse off with Verne Castle, whom she beat by 1L last time when she posted a career-best. Contender.

Form: 30546-1

Boom The Groom³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78| D

7/2

Has run well here in defeat, but has recorded all his successes at either Lingfield (Polytrack) or Wolverhampton (Tapeta). Went very close when 1lb lower at Lingfield last month. Held latest, and others push stronger claims in this field.

Form: 0467-27

You're Cool^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 76| CD

7/1

Multiple C&D winner who is 3lb lower than when recording the most recent of those last May. Has left John Balding since his last run just over three weeks ago, but needs to improve on recent efforts to make a successful stable debut.

Form: 5770-43

(3)

Six Strings¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 75

7/1

Sole AW win came on Tapeta in 2016. Has been competitive on Fibresand without winning, from 6f-1m, in the past couple of months. Act on Polytrack, but has a bit to prove dropped to the minimum trip.

Form: 05-3322

Forecasts

Restless Rose (11/10), Boom The Groom (7/2), Verne Castle (9/2), You're Cool (7/1), Six Strings (7/1)

Course specialist Verne Castle again looks a big player here, but RESTLESS ROSE is weighted to confirm her recent placing ahead of the top weight and we will side with her to do so. You're Cool may do better for a change of home scenery, and likes it here, so might be the one to chase them home.
