King's View^b,t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke McAteer⁽³⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 51

28/1

Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 42 Flat runs and ran one of his lesser races when well held over C&D (11/2) 44 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Fair mare who ran below form after 4 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 30 days ago. Needs to leave that behind to figure.

Rocky Dreams⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: D King⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 78| BF| CD

7/4

Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Ran below his best last week but big chance if bouncing back to the form he showed on penultimate start.

Form: 625-625

(2)

War Hero^v⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁷⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 79| CD

12/1

Fairly useful gelding. 6-time course winner but well held last 2 starts, including in claimer here last week. Has a bit to prove back down in trip in a refitted visor.

Forecasts

Rocky Dreams (7/4), Sister Lola (7/2), Hodd's Girl (5/1), Fastman (6/1), Cedar Rapids (10/1), War Hero (12/1), Royal Tribute (12/1), Hightown Heights (14/1), King's View (28/1)

ROCKY DREAMS wasn't at his best over C&D last week, but he was runner-up in a competitive handicap on his penultimate start and can take this if returning to that sort of form. Sister Lola and Cedar Rapids are feared most.
