Rubensian¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75

2/1

Back-to-back winner on the AW last year but has never looked quite as effective on turf and he can often miss the break. Others arrive with stronger claims.

Form: 139-445

(6)

Stosur^b⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 73

5/1

Has won five times in her career but never over this far. Looks on a fair mark though and will enjoy the forecast fast ground. No surprise to see her run a big race with an excellent 5lb claimer in the saddle.

Form: 332325

Blaze Of Hearts²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 72

11/2

Still a maiden after nine starts and seemingly regressing on three starts this campaign. Well-handicapped if he can bounce back but he's a risky prospect.

Form: 933-566

(7)

Thecornishbarron¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: J Ryan| OR: 65| CD

16/1

C&D winner last year and worked his way down to a very workable mark afyer going off the boil a little. Should come on for his reappearance here earlier in the month and may do better.

Form: 00-4705

(4)

Life Of Luxury²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 58

9/1

Still a maiden after seven starts but has gone close on his latest couple of efforts at Wolverhampton. Has first turf start here and likely to enjoy conditions; should run well.

Form: 764523

Navajo Storm⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 54

8/1

Still a maiden after eight starts and unplaced on all of those efforts. Fifth of 13 on both starts this campaign and beaten a fair way each time; will probably need more relief from the assessor.

Form: 90/78-55

Forecasts

Rubensian (2/1), Issue (2/1), Stosur (5/1), Blaze Of Hearts (11/2), Navajo Storm (8/1), Life Of Luxury (9/1), Thecornishbarron (16/1)

ISSUE is still entirely unexposed and could be the one to beat on handicap debut. Thecornishbarron is seemingly on a very fair mark and may strip fitter after his run last time while Stosur has fallen to an attractive mark and gets the services of David Egan who is proving well worth his 5lb claim this season.
