Colinton^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 80| BF| CD

9/4

Four wins in a very productive spell since joining this yard and was right back on track when second at Pontefract recently. Dangerous if allowed his own way in front.

Form: 241402

Magna Moralia⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 79| D

7/2

Added to his fine heavy ground record when scoring on Pontefract on return. Hasn't been at the top of his game since but the rain earlier this week should aid his cause.

Form: 520-190

Lunar Jet⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 77

7/2

Losing run dates back to 2020 and he was below his best at Chester 5 days ago, so others are more persuasive.

Form: 95-6935

Champagne City³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 77

16/1

Useful at one point (2015 for Mark Johnston) on the Flat and has had some joy over hurdles for Tom George. Hard to know what he's capable of in this sphere starting out for a new yard, but he's an intriguing runner.

Atacama Desert^p,t⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: K Frost| OR: 69

9/4

Still lightly raced and shaping up well, not ideally placed when sixth at Chester last time. Should get involved if this pans out nicely.

Forecasts

Molinari (2/1), Atacama Desert (9/4), Colinton (9/4), Lunar Jet (7/2), Magna Moralia (7/2), Champagne City (16/1)

ATACAMA DESERT was runner-up twice before shaping nicely at Chester 55 days ago and, with more to offer, he's worth chancing. The hat-trick seeking Molinari looks a danger and Colinton could pose a threat if he's able to dictate matters.
