5-time C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 40/1) 36 days ago, doing too much too soon. Hard to fancy at present.

10/3

Course winner. Latest win here in April. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 18/1) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Worth treating as still in form and can get involved if things drop right.

6/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/1) at this course (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago, readily. Probably still on a fair mark but not certain to be in the same form.

Forecasts

Highjacked (10/3), King Of The Jungle (10/3), One Of Our Own (9/2), Soul Singer (5/1), Miss Willows (6/1), Quercus (15/2), Fircombe Hall (11/1), Redrosezorro (12/1), Port And Starburd (12/1), Grand Style (40/1), Falcon (66/1), Too Much Too Young (80/1)

SOUL SINGER and Highjacked both found one too good last time and they're likely to be involved once more. Preference is for the former, who has few miles on the clock and can do better again, while King of The Jungle is certainly capable of making his presence felt if the race is run to suit.
