Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 97| BF

2/1

Successful 2 out of his 3 starts over fences in France for Gabriel Leenders and shaped better than previously for current yard in recent starts, latest when creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, good) 40 days ago. Likely player.

Form: 654P32-

Clean Getaway^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 97| CD

9/2

Four-time winner at this course (at up to 19.9f) last autumn. Likely needed outing, back from 4 months off, at Carlisle 24 days ago and must enter calculations back here.

Form: 111145-

Fearless Action^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 94| CD

7/1

Justified support over C&D in March. Not been at same level either start since but remains on a workable mark if return to this venue sparks revival.

Form: 2P3155-

Conquer The Breeze^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 79

13/8

Showed first form over fences at Market Rasen in March and built on that when good second of 7 in handicap chase over C&D (good) 32 days ago. Holds solid claims.

Form: FPPP32-

Jackhammer²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slack| OR: 72| D

11/1

Veteran Flat performer won on the level at Musselburgh in November. However, established as a poor maiden chaser so easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Conquer The Breeze (13/8), Delpotro (2/1), Clean Getaway (9/2), Fearless Action (7/1), Jackhammer (11/1), Belle Na Bann (16/1), Nonbinding (33/1)

Preference is for CLEAN GETAWAY, who goes particularly well here and should be spot on after his return at Carlisle last month. Delpotro and Conquer The Breeze rate the principal dangers.
