6/4
Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell (3¼m) last August. Not in the same when last of 7 back there 19 days later but taken to bounce back up on his return up against much older opposition.

7/2
Veteran chaser who regained winning thread at Uttoxeter (3m) in November. Bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts when third at Plumpton (3¼m) in April. Needs to back that up now.

17/2
Capitalised on a much-reduced mark in convincing fashion at Hexham in March but has merely underlined inconsistency with 2 poor runs since. Can make mistakes.

Confirmed promise of Plumpton third when ending losing run at Stratford in May. Never really going after an early blunder at Hexham since and likely he's still in form.

Forecasts

Easyrun De Vassy (6/4), Ballyegan Hero (7/4), Optimistic Bias (7/2), Mr Mafia (5/1), Gangster (17/2)

Verdict

The vote goes to the reappearing EASYRUN DE VASSY who has scope for better still as a 7-y-o from a top yard and is taken to see off a bunch of older and much more exposed rivals on his return to action. Last month's Stratford-scorer Ballyegan Hero had an excuse at Hexham since and may give Paul Nicholls' charge most to do.

  1. EASYRUN DE VASSY (FR)
  2. BALLYEGAN HERO (IRE)
  3. MR MAFIA (IRE)
