Grandfather Tom¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 81| BF| D

3/1

Rattled off a hat-trick on the AW this winter but he was a very disappointing favourite at Southwell last time when last of four. That can be put down to the surface and he can't be ruled out if he bounces back but he hardly looks straightforward.

Form: 5-21114

Wiff Waff^h,t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| D

8/1

Won his first two starts of the year at Newcastle but handicapper seemingly caught up with him subsequently and very poorly behaved at Newcastle last time when restless in the stalls and keen in the race. May be best watched.

Form: 4-11324

Becker⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: J G Given| OR: 73| D

9/4

Showed improvement when third on handicap debut and improved again when dropped to this trip at Kempton last time. Gave the impression there's more to come and obvious claims here.

Form: 655-31

Kodiac Express⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 71| D

5/4

Won her maiden on her tenth attempt and has run well in two outings here already this month without managing to get her head back in front. Did hang a little in the straight last time but place claims once again.

Form: 4221-22

Forecasts

Kodiac Express (5/4), Becker (9/4), Samovar (11/4), Grandfather Tom (3/1), Midsummer Knight (5/1), Wiff Waff (8/1)

Samovar has improved of late and is certainly respected in his hat-trick bid but BECKER may prove to be better handicapped and gets the vote here. Kodiac Express has run well on her last couple of starts here and should be able to finish in the first three if arriving in the same form.
