16/1

Made all under a good tactical ride to win by 5L at Lingfield (good-to-soft) over an extended 7f last month but well held off this mark subsequently and others make more appeal.

Form: 266510

(3)

Mikmak^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 74

13/2

Drop in grade and trip appeared to suit when finishing runner-up over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-soft) last time out. Raised 2lb for that effort and an interesting runner today.

Form: 528802

(1)

Dutch Uncle¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 73

16/1

Successful three times in a 31 race career and put in a fair performance at a big price when finishing fourth over this C&D on good-to-soft ground last time out. Interesting if building on that.

Forecasts

Sir Roderic (5/1), Dark Devil (13/2), Mikmak (13/2), Harlequin Striker (7/1), Golden Wedding (7/1), Ghalib (8/1), Sayem (12/1), Wealth Tax (12/1), Kyllachys Tale (12/1), Glorious Poet (16/1), Dutch Uncle (16/1), Wimpole Hall (50/1)

HARLEQUIN STRIKER can follow up his recent Nottingham victory when wearing cheekpieces for the first time for in form trainer Dean Ivory. The selection ran well here earlier in the year and can defy a 5lb rise for that latest victory by getting the better of Dutch Uncle who ran well over C&D last time out. Sayem, unproven on today's ground but a winner here twice earlier in the year is taken to claim third following a decent effort last time.
