10/1

Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 10/1) 18 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Eased a little more in the weights and step back up in trip a plus.

40/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 28/1) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor on 1st time but others make more appeal.

80/1

Last of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 17 days ago, weakening 2f out. Needs to show signs of a revival before becoming of interest.

10/1

28/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Previous effort over C&D was a disappointing one and market may guide with yard also saddling Gold Standard.

Forecasts

Northern (2/1), Frame Rate (9/2), Jenny Ren (5/1), Amourie (11/2), King Christophe (8/1), Wadacre Gogo (17/2), Gold Standard (10/1), Many Words (10/1), Rakematiz (22/1), Uccello (25/1), Party Planner (40/1), Firewater (80/1)

JENNY REN was easy to back but there appeared no fluke about her C&D success 18 days ago, ultimately winning readily. Again partnered by David Probert, she may be up to following up. Northern, Frame Rate and Gold Standard head the dangers.
