VAN AERT was able to justify short-priced favouritism on his handicap bow at Kempton last month. The gelded son of Masar did have a tendency to hang that day though and it is no surprise to see cheekpieces employed for the first time. Returning to turf shouldn't be an issue, and a 6lb rise should be no barrier to further success either. Wolverhampton scorer Yellow Card is a threat, although he might be booked for second. Top Of Pleinmont heads the remainder. |
The bare form of YELLOW CARD'S two runs this year don't quite tell the full story. He looked pretty unlucky not to win on his reappearance in April and also didn't get the clearest run last time when he did win. He can likely cope with the 6lb penalty and win again. Magic Runner was also short of room on return and is capable of more, so is picked for the forecast. Despite being green and off for 287 days, Van Aert managed to win last time and is again a danger. |

Unlucky not to win on return at Bath; not the clearest run when winning last time; better than those two results; likely contender under a 6lb penalty |

Didn't show much on three starts last year; gelded since and won on return after 287 days off despite being green; up 6lbs for that; should have more to offer and is in the mix |
