10/3
In fine form for new yard and bids for a quick hat-trick after comfortable 10f wins here and at Bath. Effective over this longer trip so holds good claims under his 5 lb penalty.

Course winner but (100/1) last of 10 in 12f handicap at Newbury 8 days ago. Big questions to answer now.

Last of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f) 4 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and stamina not assured too so others are preferred.

Arrives in decent form, fifth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (16f) 9 days ago. Effective at this shorter trip so he's in the mix.

Winless in 2020 and has to shrug off last of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f) 17 days ago. Easily opposed.

Course winner but at 7f and he didn't get home when sixth of 9 in 12f handicap at Chepstow last time. Others appeal more.

Form has dipped since good return over C&D in June. Handicapper not offering much respite yet so hard to make a case for.

Dual winner here in winter but has failed to beat a rival in his two runs since the restart. Hard to enthuse over.

Brought along steadily before two good efforts in handicaps at Beverley and Thirsk last month. This step up in trip should show her in an even better light so not without interest on her tapeta debut.

Course winner but (40/1) only eleventh of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f) last time. Stamina not proven either so others more persuasive.

Modest maiden who wasn't disgraced on her first run since leaving Dina Danekilde when sixth in 10f handicap at Chepstow on UK debut 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on now going up in trip and not ruled out.

Forecasts

My Brother Mike (10/3), Swan River (4/1), Richard R H B (6/1), Prince Llyr (13/2), Cafe Sydney (13/2), Batalha (11/1), Borak (11/1), Country'n'western (16/1), Conkering Hero (16/1), Armado (22/1), Windsorlot (80/1), King Oswald (100/1)

Verdict

MY BROTHER MIKE is thriving for his new handler so is fancied to make light of a 5 lb penalty for his Bath victory and complete a quick hat-trick. Swan River looks the one to give him most to do if, as expected, the step up in trip suits Roger Varian's daughter of Australia. In-form Borak appeals as the pick of the remainder.
