5/1

Off the mark in a Plumpton maiden in April and decisive when following up in handicap company at Kempton (21f) in May. Shaped as if needing first start for 6 months at first-named venue 3 weeks ago and entitled to be sharper here.

20/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who showed aptitude for this job in pair of starts last winter. At the top of his game on the level in recent months and goes handicapping now in this sphere having changed hands for 26,000 gns last month. Market should guide.

Aristobulus⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 93

11/1

Made a successful stable debut on all weather in January. Made the frame over hurdles subsequently, not disgraced when fourth of 6 in handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f) in October. However, suspicion he may find a few too good here.

Hill Of Tara⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 88| D

2/7

From a good jumping family and much improved starting out from a low base in handicaps, supplementing his reappearance success at Ffos Las with a dominant display at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 8 days ago. This tougher but highly likely there's more to come. Big shout in hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Hill Of Tara (2/7), Montregard (3/1), Godot (5/1), God's Own Getaway (5/1), Fortunate Fred (10/1), Aristobulus (11/1), Tessy Lad (20/1), Kilfilum Woods (20/1)

HILL OF TARA has been much improved following his switch to handicaps this term, supplementing his Ffos Las reappearance success with an utterly dominant display at Leicester 8 days ago. He looks to hold sound claims again and earns the vote to complete the hat-trick. Handicap debutants God's Own Getaway and Montregard rate the chief dangers.
