Kamra³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Herrington| OR: 77

11/2

Still a maiden on the AW after nine attempts, but seems to like this venue and has run well on this surface on his last two starts over 5f. Runs off the same mark and shapes as though this longer trip will suit.

Form: 4273-43

(9)

Indian Affair^b,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: J M Bradley| OR: 75| CD

20/1

In good heart as he confirmed when finishing a good second over C&D a fortnight ago. Up 2lb, but likely to run his race and has to enter the equation.

Form: 1-38162

(11)

Inlawed^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox| T: E Walker| OR: 74| D

8/1

Three wins on the AW, the latest in fine style over this trip at Kempton earlier this month. Still improving, but has been hit with an 8lb rise in the weights.

Form: 316-571

(1)

Seprani^h²⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 74| D

11/1

Enjoyed a productive 2017, winning twice and running well on most occasions. Returns from quite a long break so the market may be the best guide to her chance.

Form: 331513-

Danecase^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Gary Mahon| T: David Dennis| OR: 74| D

10/1

Returning from a three-month absence when a close-up fourth of nine at Lingfield. Made up plenty of late ground that day and has prospects off the same handicap mark if able to lie closer to the pace.

Form: 51076-4

(8)

Madrinho⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

10/3

C&D winner two starts ago, but never got involved after being slowly away over 7f at Brighton on Tuesday. Looks a little high in the handicap, but is respected back at this track.

Form: 293314

(7)

Juan Horsepower¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Osborn⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| C| D

8/1

Finished just behind Indian Affair when third over C&D recently. That was his first run for this stable and he may well be able to build on it off the same rating.

Form: 72-5403

(2)

Tigerwolf⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Mr Ryan Holmes⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| BF

3/1

Both wins over 7f, but showed himself to be fully effective at this trip when just touched off at Brighton on Tuesday, with Whitecrest in fourth. Up 1lb, but has every chance given his current mood.

Form: 86-3712

(6)

Whitecrest⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 8-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: J L Spearing| OR: 64| CD

22/1

Veteran C&D winner who has not won for some time, but continues to perform with credit. Has something to find with Inlawed and Tigerwolf on recent form.

Form: 5673-84

Forecasts

Tigerwolf (3/1), Madrinho (10/3), Kamra (11/2), Juan Horsepower (8/1), Inlawed (8/1), Danecase (10/1), Seprani (11/1), Jorvik Prince (14/1), Lexi's Hero (14/1), Indian Affair (20/1), Whitecrest (22/1)

Inlawed won well at Kempton last time, but the handicapper has had his say and preference is for TIGERWOLF, who is in great heart and shaped well on turf earlier in the week. Juan Horsepower ran encouragingly on his first start for this stable and can do even better, while cases can also be made for the likes of Danecase, Indian Affair, Kamra and Madrinho..
