Bedouin^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR: 74

8/1

Promised better to come when runner-up over C&D in April but has failed to deliver. Both those efforts have come in better grade over longer trips. Strong rider booked to exert maximum effort and correct his tendency to hang under pressure,

Form: 565-246

Glendun²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 75

4/1

Has been consistent from this mark at around 7f-1m. Has a miler's pedigree but latest effort suggests this longer trip is worth a go.

Form: 333-232

(7)

Ice Dancing^h1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Louis Steward| T: M L W Bell| OR: 74

20/1

The form of her debut success is poor and does not suggest she should be racing off marks this high. That is reinforced by both her subsequent runs and she needs the hood to have a positive effect.

Form: 195

Lightly Squeeze³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: P Hide| OR: 71

10/1

Won a Wolverhampton maiden in April on his first outing since being gelded, but two subsequent runs in handicap company have seen him finish in mid-division. Not beaten that far last time and is down 2lb. Not as favourably treated as some by the conditions of this race.

Form: 88-166

Migyaas^h1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 73

11/1

Had looked moderate prior to a disastrous experiment over 1m6f last time. Back down in trip and a third change of headgear is applied in as many races. Doubtful he will be a Godolphin horse for long if he fails again.

Form: 2-339

(4)

Shadow Warrior³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 74| D

5/1

Ridden more positively to score at Windsor last time but the form is only modest. Has something to find with Bedouin on running here in April but that rival may have gone the wrong way since.

Form: 992-321

(8)

Suspect Package^h,t1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72| BF

11/2

Produced a promising run over C&D on his return but has found little under pressure on his two latest starts. Tongue-tie now added.

Form: 556-333

Paradise Cove²⁶

Forecasts

Paradise Cove (9/4), Glendun (4/1), Shadow Warrior (5/1), Suspect Package (11/2), Bedouin (8/1), Lightly Squeeze (10/1), Migyaas (11/1), Ice Dancing (20/1)

A few of these have begun to look untrustworthy and PARADISE COVE may be the safest option. The form of her victory at Ayr may not amount to a great deal but she is improving with each run whilst many of her rivals are going the opposite way. Shadow Warrior managed to land a modest event last time too under a change of tactics and he looks the chief threat to the selection. Glendun tackles a new trip but, if lasting it out, it is easy to see him being involved.
