Florencio^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 86| CD

6/1

Dead-heated with Highland Acclaim over C&D last month, but a 2lb rise to this mark has seen him held twice since. Return to this specific C&D may help, but does have a bit to prove now.

Form: 7V3-105

(1)

Loyalty^v¹⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 83| C| D

4/1

Prolific winning veteran, including several here. Latest success came over this trip at Chelmsford last April. Beaten in a claimer over C&D on his reappearance, but was entitled to need that, and should be very competitive.

Form: 10551-2

Highland Acclaim^h¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79| CD

15/8

Dead-heated with Florencio over C&D last month and returned to score over 6f after a 2lb rise last time. Up another 4lb, but looks like there could be more to come.

Form: 272-211

(4)

Kodiline³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh| T: P D Evans| OR: 79| BF| CD

5/1

Scored over C&D last month, but finished behind two of today's opponents, having gone up 2lb to this mark last time out. More needed.

Form: 1547-15

(6)

Last Page²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 79

7/2

Scored over 6f at Wolverhampton in novice company last April. Showed improved form on reappearance/stable debut at Kempton when beaten just a nose from this mark last time. Bit to prove over the extra furlong, but makes the short-list.

Form: 21495-2

Until Midnight⁹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: E Stanford| OR: 74| C| D

20/1

Scored here over 1m in 2014, but is without success since 2016. Well held in two starts since wind surgery and others makes greater appeal.

Form: 6582/00-

Forecasts

Highland Acclaim (15/8), Last Page (7/2), Loyalty (4/1), Kodiline (5/1), Florencio (6/1), Until Midnight (20/1)

Last Page looks interesting after an improved effort last time, but preference is for HIGHLAND ACCLAIM, who looks as though there may be more in the locker. Clearly, Florencio, with whom the selection dead-heated last month, can't be written off, while the old man Loyalty is another to consider.
