Settings
Selected odds by:
Useful hurdler for this yard who made a winning return to the Flat at York (2m, soft) under Hollie Doyle last autumn. Hurdles effort since only respectable but not discounted back on the level.
|
Four wins last year (also close second on heavy) and advanced his form again when scoring comfortably on his 2m Kempton reappearance last month. A 7 lb rise looks tough but further progress wouldn't come as a surprise for in-form yard.
|
Heavy-ground novice winner last spring and underlined how well he copes with testing ground when second in 2¼m Pontefract handicap on reappearance. Very much unexposed as a stayer. Should go well.
|
Won first 2 handicaps last year, including on heavy. Progressed again in defeat when third of 13 in 12.5f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance 13 days ago. Stamina an unknown up markedly in trip but she looks capable of better again.
|
Won over hurdles at Sandown (2½m, heavy) for Anthony Charlton in January. Poor efforts both starts since. Returns to the Flat on his first outing for a new yard. Ground conditions fine but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.
|
Off the mark in 2m Kempton handicap in February. Creditable second at Chelmsford (2m again) last month. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained now tackling turf for only a second time.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2017. 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19f, heavy) 80 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Neil King. A watching brief is advised.

Forecasts
Maxident (15/8), Punctuation (3/1), Plus Point (5/1), Cinnodin (6/1), Havaila (17/2), Legacy Power (17/2), Clongowes (80/1)
A chance is taken on the stamina of PLUS POINT as she's very progressive and has also proven herself in the mud. Maxident shaped well on his reappearance and is second choice ahead of Cinnodin who won well on the AW last month but the handicapper hasn't missed him with a 7 lb rise.
