Splinter¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

17/2

11/8

2 wins from 4 runs this year. 4/9, career best when easily winning 12-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 9 days ago. Looks well-in carrying a penalty and should go very close again.

Form: 78-8121

(4)

Vintage Rose³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 61

25/1

16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, shaped as if better for the run after 12 months off when sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 39 days ago, travelling better than most.

Form: 58523-6

(16)

Brian Ellison's CORMIER quickly resumed winning ways when bolting up at Catterick 9 days ago. He looks well capable of shrugging off a penalty and is taken to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. Dreams And Visions was last seen winning this contest 12 months ago and rates a big threat, ahead of Herman Hesse, who shaped encouragingly back in Britain on first start for his new yard.
