10/3

6/1, good second of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, finishing well. Unexposed on turf so he's on the shortlist back up in trip.

Clear Justice^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48| C

6/4

Modest gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 626-871

They¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 47

4/1

Modest filly. 7/2, respectable fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations given she's unexposed compared to a few of these.

Form: 688-034

Forecasts

Clear Justice (6/4), Top Button (10/3), They (4/1), River Wharfe (8/1), Milvus (8/1), Letter Of The Law (9/1), Headshot (22/1), He's Our Star (28/1)

TOP BUTTON hasn't had much exposure on turf and having stuck to his task pretty well over 7f at Leicester last time, is just about the most persuasive option upped slightly in trip. Clear Justice and They head the opposition.
