Fort Worth Texas^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss S Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bowe| OR: 117

22/1

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles, but was pulled up before 2 out in handicap chase at Downpatrick (28.6f, good, 11/1) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 692-83P

10/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 16-runner handicap chase (7/2) at Leopardstown (21.4f, good to soft) 40 days ago, rallying. Nudged up 7 lb but that shouldn't prevent another good run.

Form: 605U31

7/2

Forecasts

Rightplacerightime (9/4), Fox Watch (7/2), Johngus (5/1), Where's Frankie (5/1), Bay Ambition (11/2), Super Citizen (10/1), Whenurgoodurgood (10/1), Funky Dady (14/1), Fort Worth Texas (22/1), Be My Dream (50/1), Vodka Society (80/1)

RIGHTPLACERIGHTIME did well to last as long as he did in the Kim Muir given the sheer number of errors he made, so a return to calmer waters here could prove liberating. Fox Watch and Where's Frankie head the dangers.
