DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2024: PATS DREAM (IRE) 7 11 4 HenryBrooke 9-4 (OliverGreenall&Josh Guerriero) 8 ran Tongue Strap worn by No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 2, 3, 5, 7.
Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Seasmoke (IRE), 4-1 Dunworley (IRE), 5-1 Mixedwave (IRE), Hawkseye View (GB), 9-1 Kings Justice (GB), 12-1 Midnight Gold (IRE), 16-1 Felton Bellevue (FR)
SEASMOKE made an eye-catching debut over fences when third at Stratford on return so gets the vote up against exposed rivals. Mixedwave won a better race than this at Wetherby when last seen in March and looks the obvious threat under top weight.
TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.SEASMOKE (IRE) 2.MIXEDWAVE (IRE) 3.DUNWORLEY (IRE)
