Black Caesar⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hide| OR: 76| CD

7/2

Four wins here with two coming over C&D but he proved disappointing here last time out showing no improvement from his recent AW efforts. Remains above his last winning mark by 4lb; best watched for now.

Form: 260-075

Zlatan^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 76

7/2

Tuned up with a couple of creditable AW efforts he travelled well through a mile handicap last time at Windsor (didn't quite get home). Now back to 7f and slipped below his last winning mark having run well here twice before.

Form: 424-644

(4)

Good Luck Charm^p1¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 74| CD

10/1

Cheekpieces go on for the first-time having won five times over C&D but made a mess of the start last time on his return to action. Usually held-up if he gets away on terms here his mark isn't insurmountable at all.

Form: 15188-8

Briyouni⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Miss Emma Wilkinson⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Beckett| OR: 72| D

5/1

Hasn't really fired for this yard at all yet having previously been with Kevin Ryan and his three runs on the AW have all been below-par. Still without his usual headgear back on turf for the first time for this yard; more needed.

Form: 207-500

(3)

Bounty Pursuit²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 71| D

5/1

Back from a break last time he looked as good as he's ever been and looked unfortunate not to win (rider dropped whip when challenging). His one previous run here saw him finish second over 6f but is off a career high mark now.

Form: 62105-2

(5)

Tai Sing Yeh^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: M Dwyer| T: C Hills| OR: 70| D

5/1

Still only has one win to his name (AW maiden) and despite being well-backed last time he ran very poorly. He's eased in the weights again but on balance he's best watched in this.

Form: 88390-7

(6)

Duke Of North¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 61| C| D

15/2

His six runs here have shown varying degrees of result and he has won here over a mile whilst recording two places over this trip. Returns from his winter break now having ended last season in a lull; 5lb below his last winning mark.

Forecasts

Black Caesar (7/2), Zlatan (7/2), Balgair (7/2), Bounty Pursuit (5/1), Tai Sing Yeh (5/1), Briyouni (5/1), Duke Of North (15/2), Good Luck Charm (10/1)

The two C&D winners in the field were both disappointing last time with Black Caesar running well below form and Good Luck Charm spoiling his chance with a very slow start. Bounty Pursuit looked rather unlucky last time but is now raised to a career-high mark on the back of that and with ZLATAN returned to 7f he looks to have a good chance on his third run here. He travelled well last time and with a slightly more conservative ride looks to have a leading chance in this.
