Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| CD

8/1

Winner of his last two starts including over C&D on good-to-firm ground in April. Subsequently successful over the same distance at Musselburgh off a 4lb lower mark than he races off here at the end of last month though would probably prefer better ground than is predicted here.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| D

Forecasts

Baron Bolt (11/4), Intense Style (4/1), Reputation (4/1), Shouranour (5/1), Truth Or Dare (6/1), Luis Vaz De Torres (8/1), Gabrial The Tiger (12/1), Sakhee's Return (12/1), Fingal's Cave (16/1), Harwoods Volante (16/1)

BARON BOLT ran well in a competitive event at Newmarket last time out and he can get the better of his rivals here to add to his three previous successes at this track. The biggest danger to the selection may well come from Reputation who was the shock winner of a 6f event at Epsom last time while Harwoods Volante ran well earlier this month and can claim third.
