Goldrapper¹⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth| OR: 99

12/1

Has work to do from this mark but produced his best effort to date when third at Uttoxeter on return. That was only second start for this yard so may do better again.

Form: 02/3U4-3

Back to form to take advantage of reduced mark on debut for this yard at Ayr last week and escapes a penalty here. Obvious claims.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 93

Forecasts

Adelphi Prince (10/3), Crackdeloust (4/1), Durouyn (7/1), Bertie Blake (15/2), Sincerely Resdev (8/1), Cash Again (17/2), Little Saint (11/1), Special Brute (11/1), Goldrapper (12/1), Great Raffles (33/1), Farocco (40/1), Tico Times (50/1), Go On Chez (50/1), Sauchiehall Street (125/1)

CRACKDELOUST was perked up no end for the switch from Brian Ellison when winning at Ayr last week and holds obvious claims off the same mark. Sincerely Resdev was also rejuvenated by a stable switch when winning here last month and rates the main threat ahead of Goldrapper.
