(5)

Paws For Thought^p¹²

7/2

Well-handicapped 7-y-o who bounced back to form when second of 11 over 7f at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Could take some stopping if showing up here in the same form.

Form: 899892

(6)

Vince Le Prince^p,t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

11/4

Blinkered first time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 6/1) 25 days ago, racing too keenly. The blinkers are quickly discarded in favour of regular cheekpieces.

Form: 222850

Forecasts

Vince Le Prince (11/4), Paws For Thought (7/2), Master Richard (4/1), Count Palatine (11/2), Redarna (11/2), Alessia Fernanda (7/1), Silent Move (20/1)

PAWS FOR THOUGHT looked suited by a return to forcing tactics at Haydock recently and may take a bit of pegging back if showing up in similar form. Master Richard is another front-runner who was back on song last time and is second choice ahead of Count Palatine.
