Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107

Form:

Forecasts

Roccovango (5/4), Conquer The Breeze (3/1), Reforme (7/2), Wise Move (7/1), Powers Dilemma (11/1), Westerdale (33/1), Major Champion (66/1), Paris Cercy (125/1), Norse Reiver (125/1)

REFORME should improve for the step up in trip and is preferred to penalised winner Roccovango. Multiple winning pointer Wise Move is an interesting newcomer.
