Stake Acclaim^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 86| BF| D

3/1

Well suited to 5f on soft ground as seen on her most recent win at Windsor and while she has been a little disappointing in two starts this year, she is like to be a different animal on a slower surface. Leading player.

Form: 6739-36

Foxy Forever^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Fran Berry| T: M Wigham| OR: 82| D

20/1

In and out performer who was very much out at this course when last seen. Looks a little better on the AW and not sure to enjoy soft ground.

Form: 320170

(9)

Seamster^t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 81| D

17/2

14 wins in his career to date but never won off a mark this high and unlikley to still be improving. Will be of interest when dropped back down to a mark in the 70's.

Form: 342846

Consulting^t1¹³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: S C Williams| OR: 80

16/1

Would appear to be better over further than this and may need this run after an absence. First-time tongue tie tried and probably best watched this time.

Form: 34041-6

(7)

Justice Lady²⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 79| D

8/1

Well suited to a straight 5f but has been struggling a little off her revised mark after landing back-to-back races at Yarmouth and Salisbury last year. Usually gives her running so may be able to run into a place.

Form: 211354-

Royal Mezyan¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Georgia Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 79| BF| D

12/1

Looks better suited to the AW and shown nothing in two starts on ground softer than good. May need this run after a break; probably best watched.

Form: 906113-

(11)

Acclaim The Nation²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 76| D

11/2

Less exposed than most in this field and impressive when making all at Doncaster last month. Needs more now but there could be more to come this season and his maiden victory came with cut in the ground.

Form: 21669-1

(2)

Paddy Power³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| BF| D

11/4

Been a bit of a disappointment in his career so far having been well backed several times but only winning once in 17 outings. Came close to getting back on the scoresheet at Newcastle last time and must be showing more at home than he is on the track; not dismissed.

Form: 06504-2

(8)

Racing Angel³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Lulu Stanford⁽⁵⁾| T: M Quinn| OR: 69| D

12/1

Just one win on her last 12 starts and struggling from this handicap mark. Will enjoy conditions at least but local yard have been quiet this season.

Form: 28273-6

Forecasts

Paddy Power (11/4), Stake Acclaim (3/1), Compas Scoobie (10/3), Acclaim The Nation (11/2), Justice Lady (8/1), Seamster (17/2), Racing Angel (12/1), Royal Mezyan (12/1), Belledesert (12/1), Consulting (16/1), Foxy Forever (20/1)

STAKE ACCLAIM has less question marks hanging over him than most in this line up and he's sure to enjoy the testing conditions. Paddy Power is often well-backed and nearly gained his second victory last time so he can't be dismissed. Acclaim The Nation and Justice Lady make up the shortlist with less miles on the clock than most of these.
