Sean O'Casey¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| CD

5/2

Made all over C&D in May and was out of his depth last time. Claims back in this grade under a sought after rider.

Form: 789717

(5)

Iconic Belle⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Scott McCullagh⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 66| C

9/2

Took her record to 2-22 last week when winning a similar contest. Yet to prove she stays this far in a truly run race such as this promises to be.

Form: 512641

Rubensian^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 71

20/1

Clearly better on AW tracks but has form on turf and he returns to his optimum distance here on an attractive mark. Improved recently for the fitting of a tongue-tie and a slow pace did not help last time.

Form: 7-33020

Bartholomew J²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gavin Ashton⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 69| CD

7/4

Took his record here to 3-6 when winning with something to spare a month ago. His record in this grade is less impressive and new mark demands greater improvement.

Form: 85-5311

(2)

Max Liebermann^v¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Hardly looked hands and heels material when opening his Flat account over 1m6f here three weeks ago. Soon in trouble at Newmarket and he probably carries too many doubts.

Form: 544715

Forecasts

Bartholomew J (7/4), Sean O'Casey (5/2), Max Liebermann (4/1), Iconic Belle (9/2), Rubensian (20/1)

There is every chance of this being run at a decent pace and that will help RUBENSIAN who is well-handicapped on both his AW form and the pick of his runs on turf. Sean O'Casey is back to the grade and C&D that brought him recent success and he has the most experienced rider in the lineup. Iconic Belle may struggle to see out the trip under a penalty, whilst course winners Max Liebermann and Bartholomew J have work to do off their current marks,
