5/1

Took advantage of his basement mark at Wolverhampton in September and ran at least as well in defeat at Musselburgh (5f, good) 30 days ago, running on. This softer ground not ideal, though.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 45| D

Walton Thorns²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 45

33/1

100/1, offered little on first run since leaving Charles Hills after 14 months off when seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) 21 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Highjacked (11/10), Mansfield (5/1), Amelia R (13/2), The Golden Cue (8/1), Rockley Point (17/2), Astrophysics (11/1), Bluella (14/1), Mutawaffer (14/1), Maybellene (16/1), Walton Thorns (33/1), Trulove (66/1)

A chance is taken on MUTAWAFFER, who has fallen a long way in the weights and hinted at a revival at Beverley last month. Highjacked is proven in the conditions and ought to give another good account, while The Golden Cue has dropped to his last winning mark and is not ruled out either.
