Shall We Go Now^t1⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: H FryWS

8/1

Has his first run under Flat rules here but started off in bumpers/novice hurdles. Easily his best run came in a jumpers' bumper last time and he's interesting here on that form following a wind op.

Walter Sickert²⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker

66/1

Down in trip from debut effort at Dundalk last time; has since joined this yard but needs to improve on that effort to play a hand here.

Form: 5-

(11)

Nafaayes⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Jean-Rene Auvray

80/1

Back down to this trip having run fairly well at Wolverhampton last time. Probably not up to winning this based on what she's shown so far.

Form: 0-4

Al Emarat

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T P Queally| T: K A Ryan

7/1

Sea The Stars colt who cost 24,000gns as a foal. A half-brother to a winner over 6f but rest of his pedigree suggests plenty of stamina.

Aspetar

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

15/8

Al Kazeem colt out of a half-sister to Group 2 winner Somehow. Makes some appeal on pedigree and worth a market check.

Definition¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: G Mosse| T: C Hills

7/2

Two solid efforts in novice company so far, and though he didn't show much progression between those two runs that level of form should be enough to see him go close here.

Form: 44

Imaginative⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: R Varian

6/1

Didn't show any particular improvement when stepping up to this trip at this course last time, but shaped as if there could be more to come there.

Form: 4-7

Martinengo¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

12/1

Should be able to improve on his debut effort at Newbury last time, especially with the step up in trip, but will need to in order to get competitive in this.

Form: 0-

Simbirsk

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: H & R Charlton

16/1

Al Kazeem gelding who has stamina enough on the dam's side to suggest he should be able to perform over this trip on debut.

Form:

Townie Mac²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Fahy| T: H Morrison

100/1

Last of all on debut at Lingfield last time and steps back in trip here; others hold more convincing claims.

Form: 9

Trinitas

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: H Morrison

25/1

Nathaniel colt who is a half-brother to a couple of winners over various trips. Draw is fine; market check is advised.

Makin It^h1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J Quinn| T: W J Knight

100/1

Down the field in two novice events so far; needs a first-time hood to have a very positive impact on turf debut.

Form: 9-9

Forecasts

Aspetar (15/8), Definition (7/2), Imaginative (6/1), Al Emarat (7/1), Shall We Go Now (8/1), Martinengo (12/1), Reprieval (14/1), Simbirsk (16/1), Trinitas (25/1), Walter Sickert (66/1), Floral Queen (66/1), Nafaayes (80/1), Townie Mac (100/1), Makin It (100/1)

Definition has run to a fair level in two starts so far, but SHALL WE GO NOW seemed to have taken a real step forward when second in a jumpers' bumper at Kempton last time out and having had wind surgery since should go well here provided he can prove he has the pace needed for this shorter trip. Of the newcomers Al Emarat appeals most.
