9/2

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 4/1) 24 days ago, returning to a race run at a sound gallop clearly suiting him well. Good shout in hat-trick bid up 6 lb/back on turf.

Form: 320-211

16/5, won 8-runner maiden at this C&D on UK debut 17 days ago. Good chance he has more to offer for this yard now handicapping.

Wiltshire Lad^v¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| D

3/1

5/2 and visored for 1st time, much improved when winning 7-runner nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 6 months ago (final start for Sir Michael Stoute). Gelded after. Good 2-y-o form, from an excellent family and will go on progressing for new yard that's been very much amongst the winners in recent weeks.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 82

Hot Dancer¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: C Johnston| OR: 74

7/1

Ran to a fair level at 2 yrs with his form reading well, third of 8 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 7/2) when last seen 6 months ago. Well bred and could have more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 223-

Forecasts

Wiltshire Lad (3/1), Thunder Wonder (4/1), Invited (9/2), Hot Dancer (7/1), Zowal (7/1), We Dare To Dream (17/2), Castle Stuart (9/1), Our Mighty Mo (16/1)

There could be plenty more to come from WILTSHIRE LAD this year for the in-form Andrew Balding and he can make a successful return. This looks a useful contest though and good cases can also be made for the hat-trick seeking Invited and We Dare To Dream to name but two.
