C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. However, ran below form at Newcastle when last seen in May and his record suggests he may just need this returning after a break.

Forecasts

Homer Stokes (3/1), John Kirkup (7/2), Rwenearlytheredad (4/1), Mutanaaseq (4/1), Rain Cap (7/1), Penny Ghent (18/1), Redrosezorro (20/1), Absolute Dream (33/1), Delagate The Lady (50/1)

Verdict

JOHN KIRKUP hasn't won for nearly a year but he did well under the circumstances on his most recent outing over C&D, having raced closer to the pace than ideal, and strikes as the most appealing option. Rain Cap can have a big say if backing up his latest effort, while Homer Stokes is capable fresh, so is another to consider returning from a break.

  1. John Kirkup7/2
  2. Rain Cap7/1
  3. Homer Stokes3/1
