7/2
Returned from almost a year off the track to win easily at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month. Only 4lbs higher here and riders claim more than offsets that rise so has an obvious chance to follow-up if in the same mood for yard that won this in 2016.

Ran well here on handicap debut over C&D nine days ago when a one-paced third. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Needs to do a bit more for win purposes but a player once again.

14/1
Better known as a chaser these days and has been running poorly for a while. Beaten when unseating rider at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month and still needs to do more despite highly attractive mark. Market support could be significant today.

Yet to win a race although did manage some placed form for his previous yard (Neil King). Has shown very little now on five starts for this yard and very difficult to fancy at present. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: M Keighley| OR:  95| BF
9/2
Last two runs have offered promise that a win off this sort of mark should be in reach. Sent off favourite at Uttoxeter (2m7½f, good) when a weak finishing fifth. Step back up in trip is probably a positive.
6
Horse silk
Keep To The Beat23
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan(5)| T: P Phelan| OR:  86
8/1
Only ever won once under rules but ran well when beaten 6L by Mogestic at Plumpton last time. Work to do to reverse the form with that rival today and not the type to rely on for back-to-back good efforts.
7
Horse silk
Royal Etiquettep,t6
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-9| J: David Bass| T: Mrs L Hill| OR:  83
20/1
Continues to knock on the door, but unable to force a winning opportunity, and this veteran is now 0 from 20 over hurdles. Likely to find ground conditions plenty quick enough and others much stronger.
8
Horse silk
That's Gonna Stingt24
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR:  82
16/1
Has been really struggling over fences of late and is much higher rated over timber. Hard to enthuse over given current form and others are preferred.
9
Horse silk
Roparta Avenuev23
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR:  81| BF| CD
9/2
His last three good runs have come off marks below 80. Ran well over fences at Plumpton last month when sent off favourite and every chance of another bold showing for trainer/jockey combination that do well here.
11
Horse silk
Dropzoneb27
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: B Forsey| OR:  76
12/1
Has a least won a race (Taunton 3m) but that was a fair while ago now and he's looked an awkward sort in his races since. Two runs so far this year have not shown much and whilst he should be cherry ripe now, he's hard to fancy all the same.

11/1
Steadily falling down the weights with some tame efforts. Not sure this track will play to her strengths either and is readily passed over.

Racing here from 5lbs out the handicap. From has been poor of late and needs this step up in trip to bring about a lot of improvement.

16:15 Fontwell - 5 June 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

There seemed to be no fluke about the way MOGESTIC won at Plumpton and shaped like a horse with plenty in hand. If he's come on for the run he could be very hard to contain here once again. Any kind of market move for Bagging Turf should be taken seriously as she is lurking on a dangerous mark. Roparta Avenue also makes the shortlist having run so well over fences last time.
  1. Mogestic
  2. Bagging Turf
  3. Roparta Avenue
