17/2

3-time winner for Andrew Balding but little to write home about in 3 maiden hurdles for current connections, most recently after 7 months off. Cheekpieces reapplied and one to look out for back on the level.

2/1

Good effort when tenth of 30 in Irish Cesarewitch back in September. Best-backed of the Mullins trio but fared by far the worst of them back hurdling at Punchestown in December and has moved yards since. Plenty to like back on the Flat.

Standout effort on his third outing when fifth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown in April. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces dropped into claiming company.

5/2

Turned in best effort of the season returned to a more suitable trip when fourth of 10 in claimer at Limerick (1½m, good to soft). Needs to build on that here to figure.

Forecasts

Plontier (2/1), Timandi (5/2), Persian Bliss (5/2), Battling Siki (4/1), Royal Approval (17/2), Wolfpack (9/1), Taj Crown (14/1), Stone Rulya (80/1)

Veteran PLONTIER performed with credit in the Irish Cesarewitch when last seen in this sphere and dropped into claiming company by new connections, Terence O'Brien's charge earns the vote to make a winning return. Royal Approval and Persian Bliss could be the pair to give the selection most to think about.
