Artieshow⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 87| D

11/8

Off the mark over this trip at Kempton last time and with the same apprentice rider in the saddle. Progressing well and may be able to improve to pick a win on handicap debut here.

Form: 32-1

Sir Hamilton²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: D P Quinn| OR: 87| CD

9/2

Probably didn't stay 1m2f here last time and encouraging to see him dropped back to this trip for handicap mark, and may potentially prove better than this mark in time.

Form: 71-14

Book of Dreams¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

12/1

Won on debut at Nottingham but has regressed since and only sixth on handicap debut last time (beaten 10L). 2lb lower here but likely he'll need a great deal more help from the handicapper before winning again.

Carouse¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: J A Osborne| OR: 83| D

7/2

Only fourth in search for a hat-trick at Lingfield last time (previous two wins weren't the strongest contents) and improvement is needed on second start for this yard.

Form: 357-114

Shuhood⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: Ian Williams| OR: 79

4/1

Not disgraced at Kempton last time but still only third to Artieshow. Obviously better off at the weights here by some way but still needs improvement.

Form: 01-3

Forecasts

Artieshow (11/8), Carouse (7/2), Shuhood (4/1), Sir Hamilton (9/2), Book of Dreams (12/1)

Shuhood may be much better off at the weight this time round compared to when beaten 5L by ARTIESHOW at Kempton last time but that reopposing rival looks to be highly progressive and there's every chance that Marco Botti's charge can confirm form here. Sir Hamilton didn't seem to stay 1m2f here last time out and is also considered.
