9/1
Three wins from 9 runs last year. 3/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 55 days ago, quickening to lead last ½f and keeping on having been well positioned. Should give another good account.

4/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Fourth of 6 in handicap back at that venue (12.2f) 8 days ago, not seen to best effect off a steady gallop. Remains relatively low-mileage at this sort of trip so not out of things.

1/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (evens) at Newcastle (16.2f) 27 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

40/1
Prolific on the level last year, bagging fifth win from 7 starts at Pontefract (17f) in September. Disappointed final start at Newcastle (16.2f) in October however, and again ran poorly on return over hurdles at Southwell last month.

9/2
Badly out of sorts over hurdles in recent months but bounced back to form returned to the level when landing 6-runner handicap over 14f here 12 days ago. 3 lb higher mark to contend with but certainly not ruled out kept to this sphere.

17/2
14/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 43 days ago, just holding on. Still unexposed as a stayer so she merits consideration from only 2 lb higher.

Forecasts

Rock Chant (1/1), Cedar Cage (4/1), What Will Be (9/2), Huscari (17/2), Smith (9/1), Infiniti (40/1)

Verdict

ROCK CHANT has got back on track in line with longer trips/being fitted with cheekpieces on AW, landing back-to-back events at around 2m before a sound third at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. He looks sure to go well again and earns the vote, with recent course winner What Will Be and Cedar Cage just 2 potential threats.

  1. Rock Chant1/1
  2. What Will Be9/2
  3. Cedar Cage4/1
