Ay Ay²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 90

8/1

Won on debut at Lingfield before putting in an even better performance to finish second at Newcastle in a conditions race last time. Takes top weight for handicap debut but looks to be open to plenty of improvement.

Form: 1-246

(2)

Letmestopyouthere²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: P D Evans| OR: 87

20/1

Easily the most exposed of the field and both his wins have come over shorter than this. Plenty to find against some of the likely improving types in the field.

Makaarim⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR: 80

7/4

Came on well for debut fifth to win a maiden at the second time of asking at Wolverhampton last time. Looks on a fair mark on his handicap debut, and definitely one to consider.

Form: 51-26

(4)

Tisbutadream¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 79

11/2

Hat-trick seeking filly who has won impressively enough on her last two starts, but will need to show further improvement with this fair step up in class today.

Form: 27-1118

(5)

Tailor's Row⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78

3/1

Consistent sort who looks potentially well handicapped on recent evidence, but who hasn't won since his debut and had something to prove at this level.

Form: 2-22624

Hajaj⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 76

9/2

Looked to enjoy the step up to a mile well enough at Lingfield last time and definite claims if coming on for that run in this trickier heat.

Form: 8142-31

Forecasts

Makaarim (7/4), Tailor's Row (3/1), Blaze Of Glory (7/2), Hajaj (9/2), Tisbutadream (11/2), Ay Ay (8/1), Letmestopyouthere (20/1)

Both Blaze of Glory and AY AY have run well in all their races so far and are difficult to properly assess because they could both have lots of improvement in them. If so (and it seems likely) they will be the ones to beat here with the latter just preferred due to how he shaped over a mile last time. Makaarim is another one to note; he can prove a threat on handicap debut. 1. Ay Ay 2. Blaze Of Glory 3. Makaarim
