Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 68

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 10/1, good head second of 12 to Richard R H B in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. Looks competitive on form.

16/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Bertog⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: J Mackie| OR: 64

40/1

Unreliable type. One win from 21 Flat runs. Winner at Doncaster in June. Last of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Leicester (7f, heavy) 70 days ago. Significantly up in trip on this tapeta debut.

Form: 167609-

Termonator^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 62

6/1

Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (8f) 14 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and he's not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Precision Storm (3/1), Grey D'Ars (3/1), Athmad (7/2), Richard R H B (5/1), Termonator (6/1), Double Reflection (16/1), Bertog (40/1)

This looks very competitive and preference is for PRECISION STORM, who was unlucky when beaten a head by Richard R H B over C&D on penultimate start and was again not seen to best effect back here 8 days ago. Richard R H B followed up when narrowly outpointing Grey d'Ars here and should be on the premises once more, but the selection may have most to fear from recent Newcastle winner Termonator.
