10/1

10/1

Course winner. 16/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap chase at Tipperary (22.7f, good to soft) 36 days ago, unchallenged. Looks competitive on form, despite being hit with an 11 lb rise.

Form: 95-3256

Forecasts

Sea Aster (5/2), Favori Logique (11/2), Outside The Door (17/2), Miss Tempo (17/2), Shantou Show (9/1), Harvey's Quay (10/1), Avec Espoir (10/1), Everglow (12/1), Hand Over Fist (16/1), Temptationinmilan (20/1), Macgiloney (20/1), Broken Ice (22/1), Ahead Of The Posse (22/1), Er Dancer (25/1), Goodnightngodbless (25/1), Hardline (40/1), Freewheelin Dylan (40/1), Fr Humphrey (50/1)

SEA ASTER took another step forward when a clear second upped to a similar trip to this here a fortnight ago (several of these behind) and she is still on a potentially good mark up 4 lb. Gordon Elliott's charge is taken to resume winning ways, perhaps at the chief expense of Avec Espoir, who never saw another rival at Tipperary and while this will be harder up 11 lb, he has to be feared. Harvey's Quay, who was a place behind Sea Aster here last time, is third choice ahead of Favori Logique.
