Seaport^t¹⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss S M Doolan⁽³⁾| T: S Durack| OR: 87| D

16/1

Winner in France when trained by Andre Fabre and placed in Group 3 company. Didn't show anything on stable debut when tailed off at Ascot and similar story at Newmarket in September. Fair bit to prove now on the back of another absence.

Form: 1267/00-

Rainbow Rebel¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85

3/1

Won four in a row in the summer of 2016 but not won in 15 starts since and handicapper refusing to relent. Still 5lb above his last winning mark and wide draw is off-putting but does get excellent amateur in the saddle.

Time To Blossom¹¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 81

5/1

Returned with a win at Redcar having placed on all three starts of 2016 but shaped as if amiss when tailed off at Chepstow last time. Wide draw not ideal here but it's an eye-catching jockey booking and she's been given time to recover.

Form: 233/19-

Every Chance^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss K Harrington| T: J A Osborne| OR: 81

9/2

Both wins have come at Wolverhampton to date and has been running below form throughout this winter, merely placed in claiming company. Yard struggling for winners in recent weeks and probably best watched this time.

Eltezam⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Danielle Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 80

9/4

Has been holding his form well this campaign and unlucky not to have got his head in front this winter. First try over this far but shapes like he will stay this trip and likely to get his head in front off this mark soon.

Form: 82725-2

Elysian Prince^p1,t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Page Fuller| T: N B King| OR: 80

25/1

Has not been in much form over hurdles on recent starts and tailed off on last Flat run. 1lb above his last winning mark but not ruled out if the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.

Form: 28/1730-

Langlauf^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Abbie McCain⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 79| CD

16/1

Dual AW winner in the summer (including over C&D) but hasn't returned in the same form this winter and never involved at Lingfield last time. Capable amateur rider takes over and below her last winning mark so can't be dismissed.

Form: 158890-

Milord^p⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Ed Bailey⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 77

40/1

Having just his third start on the Flat here and showed very little on Flat debut for this yard at Goodwood in June. A little below form over hurdles lately and hard to fancy here.

Form: 40641/8-

Diaktoros⁹⁸⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr James Morley⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

25/1

Started life for this yard in impressive fashion winning two on the spin but not seen since well beaten at Nottingham next time out. Huge absence to overcome and more thank likely to need this run.

Form: 116/

Ravenous⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss S Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 74| D

20/1

Won a couple of races on firm ground back in 2016 but has never as much as placed on the AW and well beaten here last time out.

Forecasts

Eltezam (9/4), Rainbow Rebel (3/1), Every Chance (9/2), Time To Blossom (5/1), Zambeasy (8/1), Seaport (16/1), Langlauf (16/1), Ravenous (20/1), Diaktoros (25/1), Elysian Prince (25/1), Milord (40/1)

ELTEZAM has been running well without getting his head in front of late, finishing runner-up on three of his last five starts, and it's surely only a matter of time before the wins a race such as this. Course and distance winner Langlauf is worth considering back below her last winning mark despite only moderate recent form while Elysian Prince can improve for the fitting of cheekpieces.
