On Lovers Walk^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss M Micklewright⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Kelly Morgan| OR: 110| D

17/2

Didn't need to improve to win a weak 4-runner hunter chase at Fakenham last month. Stiff task at Warwick since and return to right-handed track should suit.

Form: 4PP11-3

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr James King| T: Luca Morgan| D

11/1

Didn't achieve much over hurdles for Paul Nolan but he has a good pedigree and is a dual winning pointer, including last time (May 4).

Form: 333PF-1

Kandor³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Daniel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: M Gill| OR: 110| D

6/4

Winning hurdler for Lucinda Russell and similar standard over fences. Returns to Rules with some very strong point form on his record so looks the one to beat.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr John Dawson| T: Mrs Dawson| D

Second in a bumper at the start of his career but failed to meet expectations on Rules chase debut in hunter at Cartmel a year ago. Multiple point winner but winless in 6.

Form: P4U32-2

Whats The Solution¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Joe Wright⁽³⁾| T: J Teal| D

Forecasts

Whats The Solution (6/4), Kandor (6/4), On Lovers Walk (17/2), J'envoievalserenki (11/1), Surprise Attack (12/1), Sambezi (16/1), O'hallorans Castle (22/1)

KANDOR looks the one to beat on his return to Rules given what he has achieved in the pointing field in the meantime. On Lovers Walk should make more of an impact here and is next best ahead of Whats The Solution.
