5/6

Three-time winner last year (including this race) who ran right up to best when runner-up in Group 3 Mercury Stakes at Dundalk (5f) in October. Gone well fresh previously and worth considering.

9/2

Latest win at Southwell (6f) in January. 9/2, last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago, best excused the run having been left poorly placed. Better effort anticipated.

Form: 922-139

15/8

11/1, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at this course (7f) 23 days ago, produced to lead over 1f out and running on. Should give another good account in present groove.

Forecasts

May Sonic (5/6), Royal Pleasure (13/8), Papa Stour (15/8), Mohareb (9/2)

A winner of this race 12 months ago, MAY SONIC ended last season at the top of his game, signing off with a solid second in a Dundalk Group 3. He gets the nod to make a winning return, although both Papa Stour and Mohareb are enjoying productive spells and can't be dismissed lightly either.
