11/2

Finished runner-up in a race that's thrown up winners final 3-y-o start and ran well returning from 10 months off when third in 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 11/4) 16 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Mustarrid^p1,t¹⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| CD

22/1

C&D winner who lost his way last season, taking little interest at Doncaster on final outing. Returns after 8 months off from a reduced mark fitted with first-time cheekpieces but looks risky.

Forecasts

Percy's Lad (11/8), Swiss Ace (10/3), Legendary Day (5/1), Adelita (11/2), Longlai (12/1), Mustarrid (22/1)

It was hard not to be impressed by the way SWISS ACE saw off an impressive last-time-out winner with plenty in hand at Newcastle last week, so he's taken to go in again under a 5 lb penalty. Percy's Lad carries a penalty for a recent win too and is feared most.
