For Pleasure¹⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 136| D

11/8

Front runner who opened chase account in 3-runner Plumpton novice (17f) in December. Set a few stiff tasks later in the campaign and this much more realistic on reappearance.

Form: 31F4P4-

Coal Stock^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 120| BF| C| D

7/2

Rattled off a hat-trick over hurdles in the spring and added to tally over fences in 21f contest here last month. Sound-enough efforts twice since, albeit jumping lacked fluency and he's now back in trip.

Form: 443132

Creadan Grae^t,v1²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: L Horsfall| OR: 117

80/1

Little to get excited about for current yard. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: P2P-3U6

Romanor³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 114| CD

11/8

Headstrong sort who doubled C&D tally for the season with a career-best effort on the back of a wind op last month. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid.

Form: 5-41431

Forecasts

Romanor (11/8), For Pleasure (11/8), Coal Stock (7/2), Creadan Grae (80/1)

Assuming he's near peak fitness for this reappearance, FOR PLEASURE will take plenty of pegging back in what is a pretty big drop in grade compared to several of his assignments last term. Romanor will be ridden in completely different contrast and is feared most.
