Kayf Adventure^p1³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 132| CD

9/4

Not the easiest to win with, but has a C&D win in heavy ground to his name and is 1lb lower than that today; weakened out of it late at Ascot last time when third, and now cheekpieces given a try; jumping technique not the best.

Form: 5U-3P43

Admiral's Secret²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Alan Johns| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 131| C| D

9/4

Has his quirks (usually ponied to the start, and can race lazily) but has plenty of ability and used it to score with a bit in hand at Leicester last time out; 5lb rise for that is sensible, conditions fine again, and chances if on best behaviour.

Form: F3-R221

Molineaux²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 129| CD

9/4

Frustrating sort that came good over 2m here in January, although stays this far; not quite to that level at Ludlow last time but it was still a commendable effort, and with conditions fine again, he has chances at a track he likes.

Form: 69-7014

Saintemilion^t⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 123

5/1

Tricky customer to win with, but he almost got his head in front when a neck second here last month (2m); checked out worryingly quickly on latest start here though, and not one to trust implicitly; risky.

Form: 3-3U624

Forecasts

Admiral's Secret (9/4), Molineaux (9/4), Kayf Adventure (9/4), Saintemilion (5/1)

All four have some sort of question against them and this isn't easy to solve despite the small field. In the hope the cheekpieces sharpen his jumping up a bit, KAYF ADVENTURE is given the vote, as he's the one that has conditions in his favour, which is a big plus. Admiral's Secret has his own ideas at times but is doing little wrong at present and might be the one to give him the most to think about, with Molineaux taken to win the minor placing from Saintemillion.
