9/2

Dual 7f winner last year for John Gosden before creditable third of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 7 months ago. Not ruled out if fully tuned up for new stable after his break.

Laugh A Minute¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 99| BF| D

2/1

Useful gelding. Unlucky neck second of 12 to Harry's Bar in listed race here (6f), running on late having had to wait for a gap. Off 112 days but goes well fresh so merits serious consideration.

5/2

Smart gelding. C&D winner but off course since only fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Cork (8f) 7 months ago. Form pick at these weights and big player if fully tuned up for his comeback.

Forecasts

Laugh A Minute (2/1), San Andreas (5/2), Godhead (9/2), Fame And Acclaim (6/1), Confide (9/1), Comfort Line (16/1)

Most of these have a question mark against them so LAUGH A MINUTE could prove the answer as he was unlucky not to score here last time when suffering a poor run and has won off a break before. San Andreas rates the form pick but a seven-month lay-off tempers enthusiasm, while stable-companion Fame And Acclaim is very useful at his best but also without a recent run and unproven on polytrack.
