Wee Alki^t⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Power⁽⁷⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 93

7/4

Lightly-raced maiden who found improvement when good second of 10 on handicap debut at this course (19.3f, good to soft) 50 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to winner. Worth a try at this longer trip and looks a likely contender.

Passengerontheship³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 88| BF

9/4

Placed in an Irish point and left behind novice form when making promising reappearance in January, Posted good placed efforts since, latest when just held in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good) last month and this longer trip could unlock further improvement.

Form: 879-422

Forecasts

Wee Alki (7/4), Passengerontheship (9/4), I'm A Starman (7/2), Rob Roy Macgregor (4/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (12/1), Palm Beach (12/1), On We Go (22/1)

PASSENGERONTHESHIP is going the right way and has been found a nice opportunity to open his account here. He can land the finale. Wee Alki and Rob Roy Macgregor may provide the chief threat.
