Ladypacksapunch^v³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: G Harris| OR: 45| C

Aquifolia²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 45

50/1

Poor maiden on the Flat. Only poor form when second in Worcester novice hurdle in June and well held in a handicap there since. Others are preferred back on the Flat.

Form: 0/6705-9

Forecasts

Orchestral Wave (1/1), Galactic Glow (7/2), Blue Hero (4/1), Villalobos (10/1), Zambezi Magic (14/1), Ladypacksapunch (16/1), Tables Turned (33/1), Aquifolia (50/1)

ORCHESTRAL WAVE has made a good start for the Jack Morland stable and can make light of a 6 lb penalty for last week's Leicester success. Blue Hero will be suited by the return to 1¼m and can fill the forecast spot ahead of Galactic Glow.
