1/3

Failed to win in Ireland but different proposition for new yard, winning handicap hurdle and chase here during the spring. Further progress when bagging handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f) in June (value for extra) and sound claims with prospect of more to come in this sphere.

Form: P601-11

12/1

Landed 2m handicap chase for Jonjo O'Neill at Ffos Las last June but well below par since, including in 2 starts for new yard of late. Best watched at present.

Form: 1577-65

Sword Of Fate¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: L Kerr| OR: 105| CD

3/1

C&D winner who bounced back to form to score at Wetherby (15f) in April. Mixed bag subsequently, though he did shape better than the bare result when eighth in 10-runner Cartmel handicap (21f) 2 weeks ago. Races off correct mark here but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 12-2838

Forecasts

Born Famous (1/3), Norley (13/8), Sword Of Fate (3/1), Wasdell Dundalk (12/1)

BORN FAMOUS has proved an all-round improved model upon joining Iain Jardine, completing a hurdle/chase hat-trick with a bit to spare at Aintree in June. Versatile as regards trip and open to further progress in this sphere, she gets the vote ahead of Norley, who ought to give the selection a good deal to think about.
