Doune Castle^t⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 102

7/2

Fair on his day but doesn't seem the easiest to train and was down the field at Down Royal 54 days ago. Something to prove.

Form: 9412/0-0

Cool Croi³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| OR: 102

10/3

One of her stable's lesser lights on what we've seen so far but more promise since switched to handicaps, caught futher back than ideal when third over C&D last time. Makes most appeal.

Form: P609-63

Pammi^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J S Goldie| OR: 100| CD

4/1

Standing dish around here (5-time C&D winner). Fit from Flat when only sixth here last time but should be closer to his best with cheekpieces now refitted.

Form: 62/151-6

Dalileo¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 96| C

22/1

Course winner (at 20f) who made frame on four of first 5 starts last year. Pulled up on debut for this yard over C&D 13 days ago, leaving him with something to prove.

Form: 435FP-P

Rickety Gate³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 96| D

6/1

Dual scorer last autumn at Kelso and Musselburgh. Yet to fire this season, although wasn't seen to best effect at this course last time.

Form: 811F0-6

Millie Of Mayo¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 90

7/1

One-time fair handicap hurdler who looks well handicapped but went with no encouragement back from a long absence at Wetherby 4 months ago. Worth a market check. Engaged 1.35 Market Rasen Friday.

Form: 78843/0-

Ultra Violet^v¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 81

4/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles, although there were more encouraging signs when fourt over C&D last time. Not discounted.

Form: P245-44

Forecasts

Cool Croi (10/3), Doune Castle (7/2), Ultra Violet (4/1), Pammi (4/1), Rickety Gate (6/1), Millie Of Mayo (7/1), Dalileo (22/1)

COOL CROI wasn't ideally placed when third over C&D last time and, with few miles on the clock, she's expected to build on that, so she gets the nod over Pammi, who boasts an excellent course record. Ultra Violet is also considered.
