11/1

Three wins from 9 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (5f, 11/8) 8 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Could get back on the up returned to 6f and is worth chancing from a handy mark.

Form: 3340-55

Guy Fawkes^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 78| BF

14/1

Comfortable winner at Southwell on debut. Second of 3 in minor event at this course (7f, 1/5) 31 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Makes handicap debut. Remains capable of better and is worth considering.

Conquistador^e/c1,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Davies| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| D

22/1

10/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Eyeshields on 1st time. Step back up in trip will help.

Forecasts

Bosh (11/4), Admiral D (4/1), Gulliver (9/2), Blind Beggar (17/2), Letmelivemylife (11/1), Expert Agent (11/1), Guy Fawkes (14/1), Rocking Ends (16/1), Above (18/1), Conquistador (22/1), Dubai Station (25/1), Sweet Harmony (33/1)

EXPERT AGENT is unexposed for his current stable and, having been unsuited by the drop back in trip at this course last time, he's worth a chance to get back on the up and capitalise on a feasible mark. Bosh is likely to give another good account and Guy Fawkes is an obvious player if back to the sort of form he showed on debut.
