Silent Echo^h³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: P Hedger| OR: 91

5/2

Looked useful for Roger Charlton and proving that in three starts for new handler. Found only an unexposed rival too good on Friday at Ascot and looks a big player on that run, hood back on.

Form: 642-652

(4)

Cartographer⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 88| D

8/1

Lightly-raced filly who has won twice on turf both over 6f, may have found 5f too sharp on AW at Chelmsford most recently but potentially remains high enough in the ratings for turf return.

Form: 1029-49

Udontdodou⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J P Spencer| T: R C Guest| OR: 88| C| D

11/4

Disappointing favourite over C&D in June off this mark, has improved markedly on the AW since, winning three from six and just going down last time off a mark 14lb higher than this one. Clear threat if bringing that form across.

Form: 131-152

Open Wide^b,h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: M Dwyer| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 86| CD

11/2

Track specialist with form figures of 1222, including over this trip a week ago on seasonal reappearance. No reason to suspect he won't run another big race and sharper this time.

Form: 22153-2

Little Palaver⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 84| CD

6/1

Won over this C&D in April 2017 on seasonal bow, rated 88, third turf win of his career. Went close subsequently at Ascot off a mark of 92 and with a positive AW spin in March his most recent outing, looks a player on this mark back here.

Form: 3006-54

Scofflaw¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84| D

16/1

A winner at Thirsk in spring 2017, he added to his tally when landing a 7f Epsom handicap in September. Form in three starts since, including seasonal reappearance at Ripon, much less encouraging. Watching brief.

Form: 46108-0

(3)

Super Julius^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 83| BF

9/1

Dual winner last summer and denied in a tight finish at Brighton (5½f, good to soft) earlier this month. Has been bumped up 3lb for that effort. Competitive again.

Form: 296-052

(8)

Jashma^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 76

20/1

Three wins in 2017, all over 5f and on good/soft ground. Heavy going and 6f at Salisbury recently not the ideal combination. Blinkers added here and should find things more in his favour.

Form: 2211-27

Forecasts

Silent Echo (5/2), Udontdodou (11/4), Open Wide (11/2), Little Palaver (6/1), Cartographer (8/1), Super Julius (9/1), Show Stealer (12/1), Scofflaw (16/1), Jashma (20/1)

It would be folly to put a line through any of these. Jashma should find this trip/ground to his liking while Super Julius and Silent Echo come into this on the back of really positive efforts, with the latter perhaps favoured. C&D winner Little Palaver shaped better on the AW in March and could be on a good mark but OPEN WIDE loves it here and having finished second on reappearance, may oblige now from an unchanged mark.
