Reacted well to a visor with wins at Musselburgh and Perth in the spring. Off since finishing a respectable fourth at Kelso in May. Possibly vulnerable up against some improvers on reappearance.,

Green Sky¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 113

14/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who has displayed promise over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien last season, close up when falling 2 out in Bellewstown handicap in April. Interesting on return for new trainer Stuart Crawford, who won this race last year.

Ridin Solo²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 106

10/3

Point winner who showed a fair level of ability when placed in 3 of his 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles and his opening handicap mark looks workable.

Form: 1225-3

Coastal Rock²¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: K Brogan| T: O Murphy| OR: 106

11/8

Related to four winners and offered plenty to work on in 3 qualifying runs for Harry Fry/Lucinda Russell. It'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him now handicapping for in-form Olly Murphy after 7 months off.

Form: 4/34-

Dance Thief¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 106| CD

3/1

Deservedly got his head in front over C&D in March. Creditable 6 lengths second to the reopposing Mack The Man at Perth (2m, good to soft) when last seen in May. Should be competitive if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Coastal Rock (11/8), Dance Thief (3/1), Ridin Solo (10/3), Rocheval (7/2), Mack The Man (13/2), Green Sky (14/1)

GREEN SKY is taken to provide new trainer Stuart Crawford with a second successive win in this contest. Fellow lightly-raced types Ridin Solo, Coastal Rock and Rocheval make this an interesting handicap.
