Fair maiden who posted excellent third of 15 in handicap at Newbury (8f) last time. That form has been franked so he rates a big player here with cheekpieces added.

In good form until below-par sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 42 days ago. Stamina not proven either so others appeal more.

Forecasts

Hlaitan (2/1), Song of The Isles (5/2), Pitchcombe (7/1), Production (8/1), Anglo Saxson (8/1), Glorious Zoff (12/1), Mr Tyrrell (12/1), Medieval (14/1), Agent Of Fortune (14/1), Sea Voice (16/1), Secret Art (28/1), Rectory Road (40/1), Mister Parma (125/1)

Verdict

Marginal preference is for HLAITAN who has few miles on the clock and signalled his turn is near when a fine third at Newbury last month. Mr Tyrrell can boast a C&D win so is feared most on the back of his good recent second here, while Pitchcombe is another worth a second look in an open handicap.
