Elementary⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: G Baker| T: M L W Bell| OR: 66

9/4

Fair maiden and capable of some decent form in that sphere. Back to his best when fourth in a nursery at Lingfield running on well over 7f and this mile may well suit.

Form: 63490

(9)

Poet's Charm¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Martin Lane| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 65

7/1

On handicap debut here after three runs in maidens. Shaped well enough over a mile last time (best run so far) but looks as though further may be needed.

Form: 06

License To Thrill³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: S Dow| OR: 65

5/1

Had a couple of tries in handicap company so far and looked to be still in form when third (of three) last time at Lingfield.

Form: 979

(4)

Noble Ballad¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R M Beckett| OR: 64

6/1

Has looked capable of fair form and shaped better than his finishing position at Lingfield last time where the race didn't really go to plan. Trip may well suit and remains with potential.

Form: 666

(2)

Kyllachys Tale²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 64

50/1

Form in maidens so far has proved to be modest and he was well held last time when looking a hard ride.

Form: 689-76

Sliceoflife¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Botti| OR: 62

20/1

Form in maidens has been fair but has not really progressed in two handicaps so far.

Form: 864700

Still Waiting^b1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: W Jarvis| OR: 61

3/1

Has shown some good form in three handicaps all on the AW without looking as though he really needs a mile. Blinkers now tried for the first time over a trip that has looked to stretch him, although he should be given some consideration.

Form: 7024-23

Madam Prancealot¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Winston| T: P D Evans| OR: 57

14/1

Won nurseries last year at Lingfield and Chepstow over 7f and a mile respectively and the most experienced of these. Little bit more to do in this company after being beaten in a claimer last time.

Form: 44-9654

Tigerfish^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Hollie Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 45

20/1

Poor maiden who was well held in a nursery last time out and will do well to figure here.

Forecasts

Elementary (9/4), Still Waiting (3/1), License To Thrill (5/1), Noble Ballad (6/1), Poet's Charm (7/1), Oberyn (10/1), Madam Prancealot (14/1), Sliceoflife (20/1), Tigerfish (20/1), Kyllachys Tale (50/1)

There still looks to be improvement in OBERYN who won well at Wolverhampton in maiden company last time and goes handicapping here off a mark that doesn’t look too onerous. Both Still Waiting and Poet’s Charm look capable of picking up a race such as this although the latter may well need a little further. Noble Ballad has shown a little more than his form figures suggest and he remains with potential of those at bigger prices. 1. Oberyn 2. Noble Ballad 3. Still Waiting
