5/4

6/4 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago, keeping on well. 8 lb rise looks manageable and another bold show likely.

Form: 94-9331

Orchestral^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jefferson Smith| T: M Botti| OR: 69

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. No surprise were he to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 0-47

Prison Break²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69

9/4

Winner at Redcar in June. Third of 5 in handicap at this course (14.5f, good, 9/1) 27 days ago. Starting to look a shade exposed and while he should give it a good shot, looks vulnerable for the win.

Form: 3-95133

Olympus^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4 and visored for 1st time, very good third of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm) 22 days ago. That represented a step forward and he should have a part to play.

Form: 775-33

Forecasts

Rhebus Road (5/4), Prison Break (9/4), Olympus (4/1), Norman Kindu (5/1), Orchestral (6/1)

RHEBUS ROAD responded well to the first-time visor when scoring in good style at Beverley and, providing the headgear works equally well second time round, an 8 lb rise may not be enough to stop him. Orchestral is worth a second look now handicapping.
