With minor preference for

Corporal Jones panicked a bit and in true warminster fashion fluffed his lines. Nonetheless another winner on the day by Keepyourdreamsbig.

Monty’s Mission. Each way
On debut for new yard.
Plenty of good placed form over this trip in Ireland. Brian Hughes takes the ride.
Dylan’s sea song win
Was most impressive when winning the last twice and if allowed to dictate may well take some catching.

Temper Trap
Lord Warburton. Each way
Comes to a trainer stuck on the eternal cold list from Michael Bell who can at least send one prepared. No winner a run lasting 3600 plus days for 25 runners. This horse has been off for a while, had wind surgery, but did win last July 2020 off a six pound higher mark over a few furlongs further at Ripon so a place is a possibility.

66/1 or better
Winning pointer
Down to post early both hurdle starts and raced keenly both times. Led both starts.
Two miles too sharp a trip and out with the washing subsequently. Given time off 193 days and this trip likely to suit much better.
2 miles four furlongs.

Reverts to the flat and goes into maidens again.
Would be better off handicapping off a lowly rating of 80.
Chance here on thirds in consecutive races to Serpentine and Galileo Chrome last season.
The Derby and St Leger winners.
Doesn’t do much for their achievements if he cannot win a maiden…
May find one too good but a real chance under James Doyle.
