2/1

Consistent sort under both codes who ran well over hurdles last time wearing hood plus cheekpieces for the first time in that sphere. That combination of headgear is now retained returned to the Flat although he does look on a high enough mark.

Form: 225-234

6/5

In good form this year having won half his starts (4 wins) and built on his excellent record last time dictating from the front again over C&D. Had the run of the race and may do so again here but has to overcome another slight rise in the weights.

6/1

Led and had the run of the race when only beating one home on the AW recently but has shown the ability to win a low grade handicap. This might not be the one she wins with two others from the stable in the race; one to keep an eye on though.

Quite an intriguing little event with GENERAL BROOK likely to have enough ability left to overcome this field and take his 5th race of the year despite his increased handicap mark (he was rated a lot higher in the past). Trainer John Flint sets a puzzle with his three runners with early markets suggesting that Just Right was the best of the trio although Native Soldier is enticingly handicapped on his form from just over a year ago (won off a mark of 75). Innoko is a solid citizen at this level although he’s weighted to the hilt and could struggle to cope with some of these off his current mark.
