5/2

Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/2) at this course (6f) 11 days ago. Stable is in rude health and he should go well again.

Pallas Lord (5/2), Bernie The Bear (5/2), Possible Ambition (3/1), Martin's Brig (12/1), Kodebreaker (12/1), Kananga (16/1), Fircombe Hall (16/1), Marie's Jewel (18/1), Cammy (50/1)

PALLAS LORD is going through a fine spell and, having notched his second win of the campaign at this course 3 days ago, he's worth a chance to defy the penalty in the hope that the race doesn't come too soon. Possible Ambition, also successful here on Saturday, is another one to consider, and Bernie The Bear should give a good account once more.
