12/1
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Poor winner at 20f over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good, 5/1) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut with more needed.

2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest in 8-runner handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood.

5/2
Course winner. Winner here in February. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good, 11/2) 12 days ago, never nearer. Ought to be in the shake-up.

12/1
Unreliable type. 100/1, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Derek Shaw. Hood back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Star Delta (5/2), Zooks (5/2), Sullivan Bay (7/2), Smokey Malone (4/1), New York Bay (5/1), Miss Applejack (12/1), Prince Abu (12/1)

Verdict

C&D scorer SMOKEY MALONE is clearly in good heart and gets the nod . Both Sullivan Bay and Zooks may have a say too in this open contest.
