3/1
5/4 and cheekpieces on first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) 17 days ago. Only raised 3 lb and good shout if headgear continues to work.

C&D winner but has struggled for form on the Flat and over hurdles of late. Bounce back needed.

Fair fourth over hurdles at Perth last week but never a threat on AW Flat at Newcastle prior to that and he's a tricky customer.

10/3
Dual bumper winner. Runner-up off this mark at Catterick (2m) last autumn and likely to go well if primed for this first outing since finishing well held over hurdles in December.

Has developed into a useful hurdler for this yard, winning again at Newcastle (2m) 3 weeks ago. Very interesting off a basement mark back on the Flat.

40/1, first run since leaving Chris Wall when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) 17 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Forecasts

Swaffham Bulbeck (5/4), Well Planted (3/1), Let Me Be (10/3), Bouncing Bobby (10/1), Royal Cosmic (14/1), Cheese And Wine (33/1), Gripper (40/1), Buyer Beware (100/1)

Verdict

The form SWAFFHAM BULBECK has achieved over hurdles since joining Brian Ellison makes him potentially very well treated back on the Flat off a mark of just 49. Well Planted came good in cheekpieces last time and looks the obvious threat ahead of Let Me Be.

  1. SWAFFHAM BULBECK (IRE)
  2. WELL PLANTED (FR)
  3. LET ME BE (IRE)
