17/2

Fairly useful chaser who shaped well on first 3 outings for current stable but was never travelling at Bangor last time.

Form: 2F-232U

Glittering Love^b⁷⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 114| C

11/1

Proved all the better for reappearance run over hurdles when runner-up over fences at Kelso (26f) in December, going down narrowly despite a mixed round of jumping. Should stay extremes distances and worth a second look.

Form: 642P-62

Prince Dundee^p,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112| C

13/2

Enhanced excellent record here when landing 3m handicap in June. Claimed a first win away from this track at Ayr under this rider last month. Stays this far and tops the shortlist for red-hot yard.

Form: 212P41

Donna's Delight^p⁷⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 107WS

22/1

Lightly raced since scoring twice in early 2020 but little encouragement this season.

Form: P52-5PP

Camp Belan^p1³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107

10/3

Thorough stayer who got off the mark at Kelso in November but he's been below par since. Dipped below winning mark now and yard going well, so no surprise if he bounced back in first-time headgear.

Form: 7-21647

Morozov Cocktail^b³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr William Easterby⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 99

13/8

Just respectable efforts at best in defeat this season but was a good second in this last year off 4 lb higher so bold showing wouldn't surprise.

Form: 1-53364

Event Of Sivola^v³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 96| CD

5/1

Won over C&D off 1 lb lower in November but below that form since, albeit not disgraced at Bangor latest. Can't dismiss back this venue, however.

Form: PU1755

Forecasts

Morozov Cocktail (13/8), Camp Belan (10/3), Event Of Sivola (5/1), Prince Dundee (13/2), Conquredalofeurope (17/2), Glittering Love (11/1), Strong Economy (12/1), Donna's Delight (22/1)

PRINCE DUNDEE proved his well-being when scoring for the first time away from this track (excellent record here) at Ayr last month and can provide another winner for his in-form yard. Glittering Love probably would have won had he jumped a bit better at Kelso in December so is next best ahead of Morozov Cocktail, who was a good second in this last year off 4 lb higher.
