Feel Like De Baune³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B Brackenbury⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales

5/1

Won his completed start in point and stepped up on his previous 2 runs to get off the mark under this rider at Carlisle 5 weeks ago. Carries penalty but should be bang there again.

Form: BU-1731

Barley Breeze³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

14/1

Kapgarde gelding who offered something to work on when 10¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Feel Like de Baune at Carlisle (17.2f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago. Likely to be better for run so not discounted.

Form: 6

Dondiam²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/2

£30,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Une Lavandiere and bumper winner Gibbes Bay. Successful sole outing in points.

Form: 1-

Kingfisher Lane¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

5/6

Promising start when fifth in 16 runner bumper at Punchestown in May and improved when runner-up later that month at Downpatrick. Off since and a reproduction could be enough to get off the mark.

Form: 5-2

King Of Unicorns³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: Micky Hammond

7/1

Night of Thunder colt who failed to justify strong support at Perth in September and was unable to progress from that effort when fifth to reopposing Feel Like De Baune at Carlisle last time.

Form: 45

Forecasts

Kingfisher Lane (5/6), Dondiam (7/2), Feel Like De Baune (5/1), King Of Unicorns (7/1), Barley Breeze (14/1)

Impossible to rule any of these out but preference is for KINGFISHER LANE. Stuart Crawford's bumper runners always warrant a second look on these shores and a repeat of either of his performances over the Irish Sea could be enough for him to open his account. Feel Like de Baune gave his rider a first winner under Rules last month and he's feared most under a penalty, ahead of point-winner Dondiam.
