Streak Lightning³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85| D

5/1

Latest win at Newcastle in January but he has looked in the grip of the handicapper subsequently, sixth of 7 at Newmarket last time.

Form: 00-1456

Ahdab¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 83| D

16/1

Opened account at Lingfield in February and added to that when narrowly taking a 1m Yarmouth handicap in April. Tame display since but he's not yet fully exposed.

Form: 2-12517

Star Shield^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| CD

4/1

Signed off last year with a C&D win and, fitter for his return, was back on track when runner-up at Leicester 19 days ago. Should go well under promising claimer.

Form: 5451-02

Fox Power^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| D

3/1

Untrustworthy individual who has been performing respectably lately but is hard to trust for win purposes. Warrants respect nonetheless.

Form: 745324

Rains Of Castamere¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: M R Channon| OR: 79| D

9/4

Latest win at Pontefract in April and only just touched off under another positive ride at Bath 15 days ago. Likely to put up another bold showing from the front.

Form: 311-132

(2)

Sucellus^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 72

9/1

Offered little for Roger Fell last year and similar story for current yard this term, so others preferred.

Form: 3506-99

Forecasts

Rains Of Castamere (9/4), Fox Power (3/1), Star Shield (4/1), Streak Lightning (5/1), Sucellus (9/1), Ahdab (16/1)

Few look well treated but RAINS OF CASTAMERE is bang in form and likely to have his own way in front, so he gets the tentative vote ahead of Star Shield, who scored here on his final outing last year and returned to form recently. The untrustworthy Fox Power is a player if he puts his best foot forward.
