5/2

Gradually getting his act together this term and produced a career best when off the mark in an 8-runner handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 6/1) 39 days ago. Respected from 5 lb higher mark.

Bluebells Boy^b,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: R Eddery| OR: 66| CD

6/1

Four wins last autumn before joining Lemos De Souza. Unproductive for that yard and took a step back in right direction when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 9 days ago. Blinkers and tongue strap back on. Worth betting check.

Form: 48-6765

Papa Cocktail²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 66| D

9/4

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when winning 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Still well treated on old form from 5 lb higher mark if he can back that up.

Bill Plumb^t⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P S McEntee| OR: 65| D

9/1

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2) 5 days ago, very slowly away. Capable of making an impact from this kind of mark but regular slow starts mean he comes with risks attached.

Juno Star¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: P J McBride| OR: 52

5/1

Was holding form well in defeat (placed 4 times this year) until turning in a rare poor effort at Brighton earlier this month. Type to bounce back quickly with promising claimer back on board.

Forecasts

Papa Cocktail (9/4), Noble Guest (5/2), Juno Star (5/1), Bluebells Boy (6/1), Invincible Melody (8/1), Bill Plumb (9/1)

PAPA COCKTAIL remains on an attractive mark and gets the nod to follow up from his Doncaster success at the chief expense of Noble Guest, who recently shed his maiden tag over 7f here. Juno Star can bounce back from a rare poor effort and complete the placings.
