22/1

Showed ability in a bumper and posted best effort in this sphere when second on 23f Lingfield handicap debut in November. Stopped quickly at Wincanton 4 weeks later (subsequently found to have bled). Given a bit of time since.

Form: 9F-382P

San Pedro^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 96| CD

7/2

Won this race for Paul Henderson last year and came good for his new stable in 25f Plumpton handicap (soft) 10 days ago, eased down to score by 12 lengths. The obvious threat to Major Fortune.

Form: 64-1531

Major Fortune⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 88| CD

4/6

Had plenty in hand when completing a hat-trick over C&D (soft) 9 days ago. There could be plenty more to come and a 7 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him.

Form: 3-45111

Twp Stori²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 75| BF

7/2

Poor form but his efforts in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap hurdles on his last 2 starts show he can make an impact from his basement mark. This longer trip should play to his strengths.

Form: 0U-6553

Forecasts

Major Fortune (4/6), Twp Stori (7/2), San Pedro (7/2), Emotional Memories (22/1), Spicy Nelson (33/1)

MAJOR FORTUNE won easily here last week and a 7 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him making it 4 in a row if showing up in similar form again. Last year's winner San Pedro also had plenty in hand when scoring last week and can give Dan Skelton's charge most to do.
