Noel Fox^t1²⁰

16/1

66/1, first run since leaving Ralph Beckett when 10 lengths last of 9 to Roman Dragon in listed race at Chester (6.1f, firm) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and this a more suitable assignment.

13/2

Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 15 days ago. Took a while to get organised on that occasion so first-time cheekpieces could help.

Form: 7-85465

8/1

Winner at Doncaster in April. 14/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 21 days ago. Back up in trip, which promises to suit.

13/2

Forecasts

Coup De Force (10/3), Amazonian Dream (7/2), Strike (5/1), Lequinto (13/2), Gold Star Hero (13/2), Dothan (8/1), Monsieur Patat (17/2), Noel Fox (16/1), Dear Cat (50/1)

This represents a welcome drop in class for AMAZONIAN DREAM, who showed enough here 12 days ago to think he can cash in on this handy mark. Noel Fox is back in her grade and she looks a threat, along with Lequinto.
