9/1
Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 41 days ago, well on top finish. Unproven over this far but only 2 lb higher here so big shout if he stays.

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (15/2) at Kempton (16f) 55 days ago by 4½ lengths from Duty of Care, soon clear. 7 lb higher now but can give another good account.

7/4, career best when completing hat-trick in 13-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 28 days ago by neck from Prydwen, well positioned. Thriving.

33/1
C&D winner. 16/1, 12¼ lengths tenth of 11 to Citizen General in handicap at Kempton (16f) 55 days ago. Would be a threat if back to something like his best but, on recent evidence, Spartan Army looks the stable first string.

Had some of these behind when good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (16f). Not seen to best effect at Lingfield since so not taken lightly.

Course winner. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good 1¾ lengths third of 13 to Spartan Army in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 28 days ago, clear of rest. May do better still.

Four wins from 9 runs last year. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 88 days ago, albeit no match for principals.

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 1¼ lengths second of 13 to Spartan Army in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 11/10) 34 days ago, no match for winner but 7 lb better off here. Shortlist material.

4-time course winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 50/1) 19 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Significantly back up in trip. 3 lb out of handicap.

Forecasts

Vaguely Royal (9/2), Spartan Army (5/1), Palace Boy (5/1), Kyle Of Lochalsh (7/1), Duty Of Care (9/1), Max Vega (9/1), Prydwen (10/1), Citizen General (14/1), Duke Of Oxford (18/1), Tyson Fury (18/1), Howth (33/1), Rainbow Dreamer (33/1), Sir Chauvelin (80/1)

Verdict

PALACE BOY bumped into the thriving Spartan Army when denied the hat-trick at Southwell 5 weeks ago but a 7 lb swing in the weights (Spartan Army has won again since) may be enough to reverse the placings. The classy Max Vega is another to consider back up in trip.

  2. Spartan Army5/1
  3. Max Vega9/1
