Southern Sam^p1²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Anderson| T: R Bandey| OR: 119| BF

13/8

Lightly-raced for his age and, having ran well when third on return at Wetherby in November, he ran out a gutsy winner at Haydock (25.5f) following month. Might have been feeling the effects of a hard race when remote third at Fontwell since. Worth another chance with headgear on.

Form: 22P-313

Volcano^t⁴³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Finn Lambert| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 117| D

9/1

Strong stayer who is something of a Warwick specialist. Well held last 2 starts but this represents a big drop in class.

Form: 1P-250P

Innisfree Lad^b,t³²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gillard| T: David Dennis| OR: 117| CD

10/3

Strong in the betting when taking advantage of a much-reduced mark a Doncaster, a breathing operation and fitting of a first-time tongue tie presumably the catalyst. Undone by 8 lb rise when upped in class at Ludlow next time before doing too much too soon at Catterick. Eased another 2 lb since.

Burrows Park⁵¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-12| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 103| C

7/4

Proving inconsistent this season and only fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy) 51 days ago. Reverts to fences (didn't take to chasing previously) off a potentially good mark.

Form: 00-4524

Forecasts

Southern Sam (13/8), Burrows Park (7/4), Innisfree Lad (10/3), Volcano (9/1)

SOUTHERN SAM had a hard race when winning at Haydock in December and might have been feeling the effects of that at Fontwell since, so is worth another chance with headgear applied. Volcano is feared most back down in class.
