515 Thirsk-White Noise is fairly unexposed and is respected while War Poet goes well here and should do so again but I think Next Edition is a touch of value.This horse ran really well in a competitive York Handicap last time and is just top rated on that,its won on the ground and is 1w-1p-3r when returning to the track within 14 days.

Back Next Edition 6pts at 7.6-UP(-6pts)Big Drifter pre race and never put it in the race.

450 Chepstow-I feel Princess Caetani should be at the top of the market rather than Rutherglen.Although the latter is unexposed at this distance,the selection is a very consistent animal whos been plying its trade at a higher level on its last 3 starts.It should appreciate the drop in grade(Class 4 2w-0p-6r) and the ground(Soft/Heavy 2w-1p-5r).

Astra Hall has a good profile,is a CD winner and will love the ground but my ratings suggest its needs to find 5Ibs to trouble the 2 mentioned.

Back Princess Caetani 9pts at 5.5  WilliamHill/Boyles-Won(+40.5pts)Won quite easily under a well timed ride.

Accept 4.5

635 Stratford-Joe the Rogue won a weak race last time on only its 3rd start over fences.You would think there could be more to come and this can hardly be described as a strong heat.Its clear top rated on that last run.

Al Alfa hasnt run for 185 days but has only had 2 chase starts.If its ready to go,it wont be far away.

Watch House won last time but has no form on easy ground.

Back Joe the Rogue 12pts at 4.0-3rd(-12pts)5 non runners and not a race I wouldve played in at the prices at the off.Another that never got into the race.(DT+22.5pts)
