Match Anthem^v⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 50| D

5/1

Modest gelding. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 42 days ago, running on. Little impact all 3 previous starts on turf but will have a big chance if able to reproduce something akin to his improved AW form now back on grass.

Form: 233243

(3)

Coiled¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Christian Howarth| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 50

80/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 28/1) 11 days ago and he's not especially appealing.

Forecasts

Kessaar Power (15/8), Bear To Dream (5/2), Match Anthem (5/1), Letter Of The Law (11/2), Mudlahhim (13/2), Fact Or Fable (11/1), Blue Collar Lad (12/1), Don't Fight It (20/1), Coiled (80/1)

While it's a slight concern that MATCH ANTHEM failed to make an impact in three runs on turf last year, he will take plenty of stopping if the subsequent improvement he has shown on the all-weather can be reproduced now back on grass. Kessaar Power found just one too good last time and is likely to be on the premises once again, along with Letter of The Law.
