Giovinco¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 143

5/6

Winning pointer who made it 3-3 over hurdles when taking a 6-runner listed event at Perth (3m, good to soft) in April. Was upsides the eventual winner and going well when unseating 3 out on recent return/chase debut at Carlisle, and his mark for this handicap bow will probably be within reach.

Form: F/1111-U

Tiger Orchid^p¹⁰⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 127| BF

7/1

Dual hurdles winner last term and has already matched that tally over fences, bagging 23f Worcester handicaps on good to soft/heavy during the summer. Lost no caste in defeat when a clear second to the progressive Mole Court at Stratford and, though 5 lb higher now, he should make his presence felt.

Universal Folly²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 123

7/2

Back-to-back winner of 3m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Hexham during the summer, and completed the hat-trick at the latter venue (2½m, heavy) back from a break last month. This is tougher, but 4 lb rise is fair enough and should make his presence felt.

Form: 212-111

Lord Of Kerak^t²²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 121| BF

4/1

Fairly useful winner over hurdles and left chase bow well behind when runner-up at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) in March. Wasn't in the same form at Uttoxeter next time, but drop back to 2½m clearly counted against him that day and better expected back up in trip here.

Form: 542/323-

Forecasts

Giovinco (5/6), Universal Folly (7/2), Lord Of Kerak (4/1), Tiger Orchid (7/1), My Bobby Dazzler (12/1)

Impressive in winning his three starts over hurdles last season, GIOVINCO was still going strongly when unseating Stephen Mulqueen at the third-last on his chase debut at Carlisle 16 days ago. He remains a bright prospect and will prove hard to beat. Moving back up in trip will help Lord of Kerak and he is next on the list ahead of the in-form Universal Folly.
