Coal Stock⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 113| CD

8/11

Good start for new yard, following up his Chepstow success in April when proving 3½ lengths too strong for Touchthesoul over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago. Unpenalised as that was a conditional jockeys' event. Another bold bid is assured.

Form: P6471-1

Beholden^v²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 111| D

5/1

Newton Abbot maiden and 2½m Wincanton novice winner in the first half of last season. Sound return from a break when second of 8 at Huntingdon last month but a couple of these rivals look better handicapped. Visor back on.

9/1

Flat winner who won on course hurdle debut last October and was second at Ffos Las next time. Hasn't reproduced that form in handicaps since, beaten just over 8 lengths into third at Market Rasen in March. Cheekpieces he wore when winning on Flat are on for first time over hurdles.

Form: 12UP3-

Touchthesoul^p,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 91

10/3

Reacted well to cheekpieces when 3½ lengths second to Coal Stock over C&D last week and would have pushed him closer but for a mistake at the last. Meets Joe Tizzard's charge on 3 lb better terms this time.

Form: 4PP45-2

Forecasts

Coal Stock (8/11), Touchthesoul (10/3), Beholden (5/1), George Bancroft (9/1)

TOUCHTHESOUL meets Coal Stock on 3 lb better terms than for a 3½--length defeat over C&D last week and that might be enough for him to turn the tables as it would have been closer between them on that occasion had Jo Davis' charge no missed the last.
