Promising sort who posted a good fifth of 9 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 13 days ago, racing wide from outside draw. Remains with more to offer and not taken lightly.

Form: 47-45

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who returned from 9 months off (gelded) with a good sixth of 12 in handicap here (8f, good to soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip now and should have more to offer.

Premier¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 71

20/1

Good third of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Chester (10.3f, good) 13 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts off fthe same mark.

Forecasts

Too Don Juan (7/2), Caspian King (7/2), Best Adventure (4/1), Criminal (9/2), Sir William (13/2), Antelope (15/2), Mighty Boy (15/2), Moonjid (12/1), Premier (20/1), Kokanee (22/1)

ANTELOPE has taken his form up a level of late and is fancied to make light of another 6 lb weights rise and rattle off a quick hat-trick. Both Too Don Juan and Moonjid remain with better days ahead of them and can chase home Richard Hannon's improver in that order. Criminal completes the shortlist.
