Pals Battalion^v³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| D

8/1

Three wins from 14 runs last year. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 6/4) 36 days ago. Scored cosily there so he's much respected on his polytrack debut.

Form: 211-221

(8)

Westmorian³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 84| D

9/2

9/4, career best when readily winning 7-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 30 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Progressing well recently so not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 278-211

(10)

Moulin Booj^p1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: George Scott| OR: 84

Forecasts

Silky Wilkie (10/3), Westmorian (9/2), Cajetan (5/1), Diamondonthehill (7/1), Pals Battalion (8/1), Moulin Booj (10/1), Mums Tipple (10/1), Sommelier (10/1), Prince Of Pillo (12/1), Crimson Sand (14/1), Amazonian Dream (14/1), Cinque Verde (20/1)

Another wide-open handicap and it could pay to side with SOMMELIER who wasn't seen to anything like best effect at Kempton last time out and can now capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Hat-trick seeking Westmorian rates a major danger though, while Silky Wilkie, Cajetan, Diamondonthehill and Prince of Pillo all enter calculations too.
