12/1

Veteran who was successful over this C&D on reappearance last season. Put in a decent shift when third at Ayr back from a break 2 weeks ago and should make his presence felt.

33/1

Signed off last season by landing a 2¾m handicap chase at Musselburgh. Makes belated reappearance off the same mark, but this trip may be on the sharp side for him nowadays.

Fourth Of July^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith| OR: 98| CD

1/1

Off the mark at seventeenth attempt (third over fences) when landing a C&D handicap chase last time, his first start following a wind op. Hit with a 14 lb rise, but that may not be enough to stop him.

Forecasts

Fourth Of July (1/1), Dandolo Du Gite (13/8), Lucky Flight (15/2), Vengeur De Guye (12/1), Benny's Secret (33/1)

Judged on his facile C&D success 3 weeks ago, FOURTH OF JULY appears to have benefited greatly from the wind operation he underwent in January and this 14 lb higher mark may well be within reach. Dandolo du Gite is a much-respected main danger, while the veteran Vengeur de Guye is also in with a shout.
