Beat Box¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 97| D

9/4

Ended his time for James Ewart out of sorts but justified strong support to capitalise on a reduced mark starting out for this yard at Market Rasen a couple of weeks ago. Had plenty in hand and is fancied to go in again.

Form: 23467-1

Tonto Foley^t⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 97| D

5/1

Hurdles winner who has taken well to fences, successful at Taunton (2m, soft) in March. Back to winning ways at Perth last time and would be surprising if there wasn't even more to be unlocked.

Form: 31-1231

Mordred^h³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 95

16/1

Dual purpose performer who finished a creditable third returning from 16-month absence (had left Milton Harris) at Uttoxeter just over a month ago. Player if he can build on that.

Form: 115P3/3

Lelant^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94

11/2

Fair form without success over hurdles but not so good over fences so far, though latest effort at this course was a respectable one. Not one to write off in this sphere.

Form: 446-336

Bensini^b1,t1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 83

18/5

Modest handicap chaser who would have finished second but for a bad mistake at the last at Worcester 10 days ago. Mark still looks feasible and blinkers/tongue tie could have a positive effect.

Form: 24-U9D5

Go On Ya Goodthing^t¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 75

10/3

Modest maiden hurdler for David Brace but may have more to give now chasing having switched to Fergal O'Brien since last seen in May. Market confidence could prove significant.

Form: 724P-P5

Beat Box (9/4), Go On Ya Goodthing (10/3), Bensini (18/5), Tonto Foley (5/1), Lelant (11/2), Berliet Express (14/1), Mordred (16/1)

BEAT BOX was the subject of heavy support prior to his successful stable debut at Market Rasen and he's well fancied to follow up at the likely expense of Tonto Foley, who is still going the right way. Bensini could take a hand if the blinkers/tongue tie have a positive effect. Market support for Go On Ya Goodthing would have to be taken seriously.
