7/4

C&D maiden winner last time out, putting previous misdemeanour firmly behind him. Makes handicap debut and looks to have strong claims.

Form: 32-01

Suqoor^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Beschizza| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 79

9/1

Not beaten far over 7f here (good to firm) last month but remains a maiden on turf after nine attempts and it's now over a year since his last AW win. A threat if his stamina holds out on first attempt over 1m.

5/2

Maiden winner on AW at Kempton on reappearance in April over 1m, bitterly disappointing at Newmarket last month over 1m2f (soft) having gone off 13/8 favourite. Should be capable of better than that.

Form: 437-135

Anastazia²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 68| CD

11/1

Picked up her second course success here last month. Tends to miss the break but can produce what is required at the business end. Has since been well beaten over C&D behind King Oswald though not out of things on a going day.

Form: 765-214

Ross Raith Rover^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: P Sirigu| T: R Eddery| OR: 67| CD

9/1

Career best when winning seven-runner handicap over this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago. Goes up 3lb for narrow verdict there but every chance of being in the shake-up again.

Form: 3-17331

King Oswald^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Ryan Powell| T: J W Unett| OR: 63| CD

5/1

Turned in a career best when winning over C&D in good style on penultimate run having looked as though he was capable of a performance like it on occasions before. Was held up in follow-up bid at Bath since and did well to close late on. Could be open to more progress at this level.

Forecasts

Chiefofchiefs (7/4), Selection (5/2), King Oswald (5/1), Suqoor (9/1), Ross Raith Rover (9/1), Anastazia (11/1)

CHIEFOFCHIEFS may be up to making a winning start in handicaps after a tidy maiden win at Windsor last time. Assuming he behaves himself, he looks to have some potential in this sphere. Ross Raith Rover isn't easily bypassed having scored over C&D last time and rates a solid danger off a 3lb hike while King Oswald is also respected back over this track and trip on penultimate run and perhaps being give a bit much work to do late on since at Bath. Selection is surely going to be better than he showed at Newmarket last time.
