Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 68| C| D

14/1

Course winner. 16/1, last of 4 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Fair on the Flat (ran well at Epsom on latest outing in this sphere), and mark is appealing.

Bulleit⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: W Jarvis| OR: 61

13/2

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/1) 64 days ago. Back up in trip. Should give his running but others look better treated.

Forecasts

Bugle Major (10/3), Obsidian Knight (4/1), Rikona (4/1), Waterloo Sunset (11/2), Bulleit (13/2), Lenny's Spirit (13/2), Stopnsearch (14/1), Dulcet Spirit (28/1), By Jove (80/1)

BUGLE MAJOR is lightly raced for Archie Watson and was back to form at Kempton last time, so he's fancied to defy a reduced mark under a promising claimer. Lenny's Spirit is the chief threat and Stopnsearch also merits respect returning to the Flat.
