Chiefman^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72| BF

10/1

Opened his account in good style at Newcastle in March. Failed to land the odds (4/5) when second of 3 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft) 39 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 523-122

Minstrel Knight¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 69

11/8

Progressed again when second of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft, 4/1) 17 days ago, despite having not been ideally placed. Could be ready to get off the mark as he goes further up in trip.

Form: 83-332

Warmonger²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 61| BF

15/8

After 6 months off (gelded), wasn't able to improve as expected when fourth of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, heavy, 7/4) 25 days ago. However, he remains capable of better with his recent run behind him.

Form: 8000-4

Forecasts

Minstrel Knight (11/8), Warmonger (15/8), Mister Daydream (9/2), Chiefman (10/1), Carnival Day (18/1)

MINSTREL KNIGHT has shown improved form sent handicapping on his last 2 starts, despite having been caught further back than ideal when second at Pontefract 17 days ago, so he is taken to go one better this time around. The main danger could be Chiefman, who is worth another chance with cheekpieces applied, ahead of Warmonger.
