7/2

7/1, won 8-runner handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 60 days ago. 2 lb nudge by no means the end of the world and he needs considering.

Form: 2-94821

9/1

Latest win at Ayr in May. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 12/1) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back but will certainly have a chance if able to do so. One of 3 representing the Jim Goldie yard.

Powerful Response¹⁶

Banner Road⁶^{(ex 5)}

7/4

7/1, career best when winning 12-runner minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 6 days ago, well on top finish. This looks more demanding under a penalty.

Form: 9-28741

Kalahari Prince⁷

Weight: 10-7| Age: 4

T: D O'Meara J: Mark Winn

Forecasts

Kalahari Prince (13/8), Banner Road (7/4), Powerful Response (7/2), Bay Dream Believer (7/2), Precedent (9/2), St Andrew's Castle (9/1), Blue Jay Way (25/1), Crown Bridges (40/1), Hold On Together (50/1)

KALAHARI PRINCE resumed winning ways in decisive fashion at Carlisle last weekend and, if in the same mood here, a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Fellow last-time-out winners Powerful Response, Bay Dream Believer and Banner Road are feared in that order of preference.
