3/1

Smart chaser in his pomp and, though not so good nowadays, he has hit the crossbar over this C&D and in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Plumpton the last twice. Should give another good account.

Coole Well¹⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117| DWS

10/11

Yet to add to 2018 hurdles success, but hasn't had many chances over fences and needs considering back in this sphere for new yard. Has undergone a third wind op since latest start in December.

Siannes Star⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 115| D

5/1

Dual hurdles winner who posted much his best effort since joining this yard when runner-up in a handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) last week. Possibilities here off the same mark.

Form: 3784-52

Fourth Of July^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 103

11/2

Showed the benefit of wind surgery when winning back-to-back 17f Kelso handicap chases in March. However, never looked like completing the hat-trick when a well-held third at Ayr last time.

Forecasts

Coole Well (10/11), Azzuri (3/1), Siannes Star (5/1), Fourth Of July (11/2)

COOLE WELL and Siannes Star are both seeking their first taste of success in this sphere, but this could be the day when one of the 8-y-os delivers over fences. The latter is feared, for all that he was arguably flattered by his proximity to the winner at Huntingdon, but preference is for Coole Well, who returns from a break on an attractive mark for his new yard. Azzuri also merits respect.
