Smiley Bagel6
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR:  57
5/4
Has struck form having been well supported on most starts prior to his winning run. Beat a subsequent winner last time and potentially remains on the right side of the handicapper.

Graceful Lady27
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: R Eddery| OR:  55
10/1
Races to a consistent level but one that suggests she may need to come down a pound or two. Looks as though she needs a race where things fall right for her and that makes her difficult to recommend.

Twice a winner over 2m. Showed a bit more last time but not easy to be positive about his prospects at this distance.

Showed little on the Fibresand last time in first time cheekpieces but ran better over this C&D prior to that. With little mileage on the clock there could be more to come and headgear retained.

Cold Fusion6
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan(7)| T: D Flood| OR:  52
14/1
Has been in a rapid decline since a Newmarket win last season. Appears to have found her level now judged by her latest effort so in with a shout. Rider has one winner from 29 rides in Ireland.

One win from 43 starts but has been placed on 15 other occasions. Looks one paced nowadays but again no surprise if thereabouts.

Seven of his nine wins have come here. Not disgraced when placed here on last two starts and regular rider on board.

C&D winner in November 2015. Signalled a return to form last time and although up 2lb he has run well off higher.

Gets a significant 8lb pull with Smiley Bagel for the 1½L he has to find on running here a month ago. He did not get the best of runs that day and although the winner has improved again since then, you have to respect his chance.

Five years since his last win. Ran well in an equally poor race in January but there have been no flickers of that renewed enthusiasm more recently.

Age: 10|  Weight: 8-12| J: Danny Brock| T: P Butler| OR:  45

Struck form in the autumn of 2015. Has failed to make the frame since and has finished last on her two most recent starts

Two third places at this track mark the best of his achievements in a 20 race career. Positive rider booking for a race short of clues.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR:  45

18 race maiden who is yet to make the frame on the Flat. Soon in trouble last time and hard to recommend as a result.

Sixties Idol28
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Alison(3)| T: Miss S West| OR:  45
33/1
Looks held by a few of these on recent form. Tends to race off the pace before delivering a promising but shortlived effort. Could cause an upset one day in a race where that run is able to be timed right.

Forecasts

Smiley Bagel (5/4), Graceful Lady (10/1), Santadelacruze (11/1), Rezwaan (11/1), Street Art (12/1), Sir Jack (12/1), Castanea (12/1), Cold Fusion (14/1), Frankie (20/1), Tarakkom (20/1), Abertillery (33/1), Sixties Idol (33/1), Athenian Garden (100/1), Akinspirit (100/1)

Verdict

SMILEY BAGEL has looked well ahead of the handicapper of late and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Frankie is weighted to run him close and makes each-way appeal. Street Art shaped well enough last time to suggest his turn might be near.
  1. Smiley Bagel
