Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 120| DWS

8/1

Resumed winning ways at Wetherby (19.4f, good) in October, before making the frame at Catterick last time. However, failed to fire on his latest start in January (since undergone a wind op) and he could do with the ground drying out.

1/1

Dual winner in novice company last spring and wasn't beaten far back from a break here (21f, soft) in December. Another sound effort when second at Market Rasen next time before failing to stay 23.6f on his latest start. Needs considering back down in trip.

Cornerstone Lad^b1²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 113| D

5/4

Six-time winner from 16 starts over hurdles but strike rate in this sphere is not so good (1-19). Decent second off 3 lb higher at Newcastle on penultimate start but below par tried in a visor at Ayr next time and connections now turn to blinkers.

Form: 3-23623

Forecasts

Grey Skies (1/1), Cornerstone Lad (5/4), The Big Jetaway (11/4), Getaway Luv (8/1)

Stablemates GREY SKIES and The Big Jetaway can fight out the finish. The former appeals as the most likely winner having edged back down to the mark off which he scored at Perth last spring, while this drop back in trip looks a good move and he is Brian Hughes's pick. Cornerstone Lad could be in line for minor place money.
