Pulled up on first start since wind surgery but put in an improved effort when fourth over 2m4f at Huntingdon (good) last time out. One for the shortlist once more.
Winner of a match race in a point-to-point over 3m at Chaddesley Corbett (good) at the end of May. One to note off what looks a fair mark on his return to Rules racing.
Southwell handicap chase winner over an extended 1m7f last October. Pulled up on his return from a break last month and probably best watched at present.
Forecasts
King Spirit (11/4), Drumhart (3/1), What A Laugh (4/1), Doitforjoe (11/2), Deadly Move (6/1), No Dice (14/1), Fair Frank (25/1)
Winner of a point-to-point last time DRUMHART looks capable of registering his third chase victory on his first start back under Rules. The selection had some good point-to-point form last season and can get the better of What A Laugh who ran well over this C&D on his most recent outing. Third place can go the way of King Spirit who ran well on his second run back from wind surgery last time out.
