3/1

Creditable length third of 9 to Boom The Groom in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (AW) 8 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Shortlist material.

9/1

Winner here in June. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 13/2) 18 days ago. Needs to raise her game a touch in order to bag this prize.

15/2

Solar Park^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater| OR: 58| BF| D

11/1

Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 16/5) 21 days ago, never nearer. Well-drawn and each-way chance if he gets the breaks.

Form: 740323

Jorvik Prince^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| D

25/1

5/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Comeatchoo⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| C| D

Roundabout Magic²

Forecasts

Zulu Zander (3/1), Boom The Groom (7/2), Comeatchoo (5/1), Roundabout Magic (6/1), Shamshon (15/2), Smokey (8/1), Spurofthemoment (9/1), Solar Park (11/1), Jorvik Prince (25/1), Something Lucky (50/1)

ZULU ZANDER was ridden with more restraint than usual when third to Boom The Groom over C&D recently and, with Adam Kirby taking over and now 4 lb better off with that rival, he is taken to emerge on top this time. Comeatchoo went close over 6f here last week and should give another good account, while Smokey makes the shortlist, too, along with Solar Park.
