Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 76| D

7/1

Won final 2 starts in 2022, successful at Newcastle in December. Disappointing when fourth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (6f, soft) 26 days ago. Could bounce back on a sounder surface.

11/4

Again travelled smoothly when making it back-to-back wins in 16-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Can land the hat-trick.

2/1

C&D winner. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, back to form when third of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Merits consideration off his current mark.

Forecasts

Straits Of Moyle (2/1), Papa Cocktail (11/4), Lord Abama (7/2), Westmorian (7/1), Barney's Bay (9/1), Thaki (14/1), Newyorkstateofmind (22/1)

PAPA COCKTAIL has returned to form on his last 2 starts, again impressing with how he travelled when scoring back on turf at Haydock last time, and he can go on to complete the hat-trick. Straits of Moyle bounced back in first-time cheekpieces when third at Thirsk earlier this month and is feared most, ahead of Westmorian.
