Rathgar²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 82| C

10/3

Won a novice here at 2 yrs. Mixed record last season but went close at York final start and returned to action with a good third at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 38972-3

Manxman^v²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 79| D

5/2

Prolific in handicaps last season, winning 5 of his 6 starts, having more in hand than bare margin suggests at Pontefract final start. Remains of interest.

The Thunderer^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: S C Williams| OR: 79

14/1

Needs plenty of luck given his style (often starts slowly) but is back down to last winning mark and shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 16 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 35 days ago, left with lot to do.

Form: 55-3046

Fox Vision^h²⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 78

10/1

Still a maiden but often placed and ended 3-y-o campaign with excellent second at Kempton. Remains unexposed beyond 12f and needs considering.

11/8

Runner-up 3 times from 5 starts in handicaps last season and came close to breaking her duck when just edged out at Wolverhampton on return 10 days ago. Should go well again.

Forecasts

Miss Cynthia (11/8), Manxman (5/2), Rathgar (10/3), Fox Vision (10/1), Graham (10/1), Crescent Lake (12/1), The Thunderer (14/1)

Claims can be made for all 7 with the vote going to last year's winner CRESCENT LAKE, who should be spot on after a couple of spins on the AW. Returning pair Fox Vision and Manxman head the dangers.
