Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 120| BF| D

2/7

Has won 3 times over hurdles and pretty consistent in handicaps of late. Rather exposed now but this looks a great chance down in grade.

Form: 143343

Eclair Des Sablons^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Katy Price| OR: 93| D

13/2

Followed narrow Exeter breakthrough success in April with a near miss at the same course six days later. Gone downhill since, but did stop the slide in selling company a fortnight ago.

Form: 763803

Secret Secret^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris| OR: 102| D

13/2

Winless following 15 attempts in Ireland (Flat and jumps) but made perfect start for this yard in a Stratford seller a fortnight ago. Clearly fit and in form and looks the danger to Celestial Force.

Form: 295701

Junior Massini^p1¹⁴

250/1

Forecasts

Celestial Force (2/7), Ar Mest (4/1), Eclair Des Sablons (13/2), Secret Secret (13/2), The Garrison (14/1), Junior Massini (250/1)

CELESTIAL FORCE is a consistent performer in handicaps and is fancied to successfully concede weight all round down in class. The danger is Secret Secret, who isn't well-in on these terms but is at least a recent winner.
