Luttrell Lad^p1⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: T P Queally| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 77| D

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 11/1) 49 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut, so merits respect.

Pons Aelius¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79

5/4

3 wins from 11 runs this year. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Haydock (14f, firm) 13 days ago, having run of race. Makes polytrack debut. One to consider.

General Zoff¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 67| D

33/1

Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 14 days ago, met some trouble. Should strip fitter for that and can't be discounted from sliding mark.

Form: 154-645

Mountain Road⁹

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

T: D M Simcock J: S Donohoe

Forecasts

Pons Aelius (5/4), Mountain Road (3/1), Luttrell Lad (5/1), Mukha Magic (7/1), Seven Pockets (7/1), Arabescato (17/2), Smart Champion (12/1), Phoenix Aquilus (12/1), High Wells (22/1), General Zoff (33/1)

MOUNTAIN ROAD is low mileage and shaped well when narrowly denied over C&D 9 days ago, so he's a strong candidate to open his account if the race pans out for him. The likeable Mukha Magic should put up another bold showing and Luttrell Lad is a notable handicap debutant.
