13:40 – Margarets Legacy

MARGARET’S LEGACY seemed to be benefit from a wind op and for the re-fitting of a tongue tie when third at Uttoxeter and now he is back in form he looks ready to cash in on this handy mark. Hidden Commander can boast an excellent strike rate and is a threat, along with Domandlouis.

14:15 – Split The Bill

It may be worth siding with SPLIT THE BILL, who took a step forward when fourth on his handicap debut at Perth 13 days ago and he promises to be suited by this further step up in trip. Fabuleux du Clos has to be respected on the back of his breakthrough success at Newcastle in March, while cases can also be made for the likes of Animore, Better Getalong and Warriors Story.

14:50 – Ballyporeen

BALLYPOREEN has taken his form up a level since joining Donald McCain and still looks hard to beat despite conceding upwards of 12 lb all round. Harper Valley has gone with some promise on his two starts over hurdles and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Rose Dobbin’s newcomer Why Not Dream.

15:25 – Just Call Me Al

In a race where very few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken on JUST CALL ME AL who offered a bit more back from wind surgery last time and has dipped to a mark he should be capable of winning from if retaining anything like his old ability. The consistent Castletown is sure to be thereabouts again. Rebecca Menzies handicap newcomer Boomslang would also come into it if the betting suggests he’s fancied.

16:00 – Eloi Du Puy

The vote goes to ELOI DU PUY, who has shown more encouraging signs since venturing down the handicap route and this 5-y-o has more going for him than most of these. Game Beaaa will be a threat under Brian Hughes if the recent wind op has had the desired effect and Balranald is third choice, despite some doubts as to whether he will build on his latest effort.

16:30 – Bollingerandkrug

There should be more to come from BOLLINGERANDKRUG, who shaped like the best horse at the weights when runner-up over C&D last time and still looks feasibly treated. Geromino may provide the chief threat.

17:02 – Time Leader

TIME LEADER has already won twice this year and a repeat of the sort of form he showed at Aintree should be enough for him to land this lesser contest. Hermann Clermont looks the biggest threat on form and Garbanzo is the best of the remaining trio.

17:35 – Indian Louis

INDIAN LOUIS has already won two points and has joined an excellent stable, so he’s fancied to make a successful start. Shengai Enki should find this race a lot easier than the one he contested at Punchestown last time, so he’s considered the biggest danger, although Lemoine should be on the premises if tuned up after 5 months off.
