St Mary's¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 81

7/4

Scored over 1m4½f (good) at Chester in May, but disappointed when favourite on soft ground back there next time and when stepped up to 1m5½f at Newbury last time. Drops back in class here and not an obvious stayer on pedigree, so has a bit to prove.

Spice Fair⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: M D I Usher| OR: 76| D

7/2

Proven stayer who has form on soft ground, though is without a win on the Flat for two years. Thoroughly exposed and was well beaten from this mark last time, so looks in need of a drop in the weights before winning again.

Form: 64630-4

Rolling Maul¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 73| CD

11/10

Decent hurdler who stays 3m1f on soft ground in that discipline, so really ought to be at home over this trip on the Flat, where he is 1-1 after scoring at Bath (1m3½f, good to firm) last time. This initial mark looks to have the potential to be exploited and he will be tough to beat.

Kaisan^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 66

10/1

0-6 so far, though went close from 4lb higher (1m3½f, good to firm) on his handicap debut last year. Worth a try at this trip, though not wholly convincing here over 1m6f last time, so perhaps best watched this time.

Forecasts

Rolling Maul (11/10), St Mary's (7/4), Norab (11/4), Spice Fair (7/2), Kaisan (10/1)

With things to prove here for St Mary's, multiple winning hurdler ROLLING MAUL may have been found a good opportunity to make use of his undoubted stamina and follow up his Bath debut Flat success. Norab looks to be next best.
