25/1

Winning pointer who showed more than on his Rules debut for Fiona Kehoe when third in a 2½m maiden hurdle here, but that form looks flimsy and he failed to back that up next time. Handicap debut.

Form: 144-P38

Theocrat^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 110| D

10/1

Off the mark on handicap debut at Taunton in April and good efforts in defeat 2 of next 3 starts. Creditable efforts on the Flat since.

Form: 7513-64

Right Destination³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 103

10/1

Fine second in a Stratford handicap last summer. Below par both subsequent starts, including on reappearance, but eased 4 lb at least.

Form: 84F/25-8

Get Supreme^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 103

Dorking Rogue⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 102

3/1

Hinted at ability in 4 outings for Tom Lacey and confirmed handicap/yard debut promise when close second over C&D last time, finishing best. Looks up to winning sooon.

Form: 9475-42

Pillar Of Steel^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: J L Spearing| OR: 98| CD

11/10

Gained breakthrough victory in some style in 15-runner handicap hurdle over C&D and followed up with even better performance at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago. Should make bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 705-411

Derek Duval^t⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: T Scudamore| T: J & S Best| OR: 88

11/1

Fair Flat winner for Stuart Williams but out of sorts over hurdles/on Flat for Suzi Best. Easily opposed.

Form: PP/077-8

Forecasts

Pillar Of Steel (11/10), Dorking Rogue (3/1), Pottlerath (17/2), Right Destination (10/1), Theocrat (10/1), Derek Duval (11/1), Happy Larry (25/1), Get Supreme (28/1)

PILLAR OF STEEL's form has really taken off this summer, again strong at the finish when winning another 15-runner handicap at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago, and she looks up to completing a hat-trick. The obvious danger is Dorking Rogue, who should be winning soon judged on his latest performance over this C&D.
