14/1

Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 11/1) 82 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

16/1

33/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 61 days ago, doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving Julia Feilden. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes limited appeal.

66/1

C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2018. Last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 40/1) 71 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: J L Spearing| OR: 48

8/1

Thunderoad^p¹⁹

28/1

Forecasts

Act Of Magic (10/3), Villanelle (7/2), It's How We Roll (5/1), Masque Of Anarchy (8/1), Clog Na Fola (9/1), Bay May (9/1), Junoesque (14/1), Cold Harbour (16/1), Productive (16/1), Confab (28/1), Thunderoad (28/1), Bright View (40/1), General Brook (66/1), Bazooka (100/1)

IT'S HOW WE ROLL has been working his way back to form and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Villanelle and Act of Magic should also make their presence felt.
