Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 82

5/1, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago. Not long with this prolific yard and should go well again.

15/2

Cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (1m) 24 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Ought to be competitive from a handy inside stall.

10/1

Three wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 20/1) 43 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 5 lb higher now back on AW.

Market House²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 72WS

33/1

Has won 3 times on the Flat and once over hurdles since joining James Owen. More recent hurdles efforts disappointing but no surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang after wind surgery.

Forecasts

Shihoku (3/1), Brasil Power (7/2), Zryan (4/1), Sheriff's Court (4/1), Notimeforchitchat (15/2), Phone Tag (10/1), Mr Baloo (12/1), Arcadian Nights (16/1), San Juanito (22/1), Market House (33/1), Expert Witness (50/1), Shahbaz (66/1)

SHIHOKU's recent close second here over a slightly shorter trip suggests it's only a matter of time before he's winning for James Owen. Brasil Power, Zryan and the selection's stablemate Market House are others to consider.
