Moayadd⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 45

1/4

Won a better race than this at Newcastle last week, justifying short-priced favouritism in the process. Has a penalty to contend with today but is lightly raced for a five-year-old, and looks to be improving all the time.

Form: 0-31112

Frontline Phantom²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Russell Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 50

50/1

Showed little on return after a long lay-off last time, having been tame in his final few runs before that absence. Hasn't won since August 2014 and doesn't look like changing that today.

Form: 900/903

(4)

Gamesters Lad^p1⁵²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Josh Doyle| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 50

25/1

Has much to prove on first run since September 2015, and remains a 15 race maiden. First time cheekpieces will have to make all the difference on his first run for a new trainer.

Form: 7/96968

Ferryview Place^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 50

10/1

Hasn't been too far away on any of his most recent starts despite what the form figures show. Steps down in class today off a similar mark over a C&D he's place over previously. One to consider.

Form: 850023

Rezwaan^b²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: D A Parkes| T: M McGrath| OR: 49

5/1

Ran well last time over C&D on his return to the course after seven months off, and remains on the same mark today. Big chance if building on that first run back.

Form: 07-3346

Swiss Lait⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: P Holmes| OR: 48

25/1

Has a record of 1/32 so far, with that one victory coming over shorter on turf. Looks to have little going for her, especially as she must reverse form with Moayadd from last week, albeit in more favourable weight conditions.

Form: 084053

(9)

Color Force³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 49

20/1

Only modest form over 7f, and now steps up markedly in trip for the first time. Hasn't given the impression that this new distance will suit her in particular so best watched with last time's headgear removed.

Form: 8/0637-8

(6)

Cappielow Park^b,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 46

16/1

Former jumps horse who hasn't looked the same since returned to the Flat. This trip would seemingly be well short of sufficient with all his previous form over further.

Form: 735/0-74

Athenian Garden¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 45

66/1

Hasn't been impressive on any of her recent starts, but they have all been in more competitive contests than this. Something more will still be needed, however, and it should be a concern she has never placed here on three attempts, including once when odds-on favourite.

Form: 50-0066

(12)

Street Art^b,t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Kevin Lundie⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 45

25/1

Seems to have lost the ability that allowed him to win and then finish a close second in two consecutive races just over a year ago. Hasn't been placed in eight attempts since then, though some of those races were marginally more difficult than this.

Form: 00-8281

(14)

Zeteah²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Jordan Vaughan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

100/1

Step up to this trip for the first time is interesting given she's run well over 1m2f before, but she still would have to improve significantly from her recent runs, none of which have given much reason for encouragement.

Form: 80-6979

(11)

Ambitious Rosie²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

150/1

Unplaced in 12 starts so far, mostly at this venue and over a variety of trips. Looks set to play a minor role once again.

Form: 6/7749-0

Katalan^h1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 45

50/1

Has shown very little on four starts so far, and it must be a concern that he refused to race last time. First time hood may help.

Forecasts

Moayadd (1/4), Rezwaan (5/1), Brooke's Point (5/1), Ferryview Place (10/1), Cappielow Park (16/1), Color Force (20/1), Street Art (25/1), Gamesters Lad (25/1), Swiss Lait (25/1), Katalan (50/1), Frontline Phantom (50/1), Athenian Garden (66/1), Zeteah (100/1), Ambitious Rosie (150/1)

If he can overcome a 6lb penalty for a taking win at Newcastle eight days ago, this looks to be MOAYADD's to lose. In a low quality affair he would seem to be the one with the most natural ability, and being so lightly raced for his age, there is almost certainly some untapped potential in him. Rezwaan is another who can go close if building on a promising first run back from a break last time, while Brooke's Point has run two solid races so far this year, form which has to be taken seriously when compared with most of the rest of these. 1. Moayadd 2. Rezwaan 3. Brooke's Point
