20/1

Latest win at Ayr in May. 25/1 and blinkers on for 1st time in this code, last of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (18.1f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Visor back on. Makes limited appeal.

1/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in April who progressed again when good second of 10 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, heavy) 6 days ago, sticking to task. Cheekpieces on first time. Looks the one to beat.

King Of Unicorns^p⁴⁰

9/1

Posted season's best, in first-time cheekpieces, when second of 12 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and merits consideration.

Form: 53-6062

(3)

Dereham⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman| T: John Berry| OR: 56| C

40/1

200/1

Forecasts

Judgementofsolomon (1/1), Bamboo Bay (9/2), Zestful (11/2), Simiyann (9/1), King Of Unicorns (9/1), Pons Aelius (12/1), Little Peter (12/1), Animato (14/1), Weddell Sea (20/1), Show No Fear (20/1), Dereham (40/1), Monticello (200/1)

Sole 3-y-o representative JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON should be suited by this stiffer test of stamina and can get back to winning ways. King of Unicorns and Animato are feared most.
