Forty Thirty bounced back to form with a respectable fourth behind Paintball at Cheltenham last month and there may be more to come over this longer trip. Paddy Partridge, who has finished second on both starts this year, also steps up in distance and can figure but preference goes to SINBAD THE SAILOR. George Baker's charge won at Ludlow before finishing fourth over 2m6f at Sandown in March and a similar effort should see him get the better of Emmaslegend. She landed a double earlier this year and drops back down in class after being well beaten in a couple of Listed races since.
