Maksab¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 83| BF| D

9/2

Returned with a promising third before disappointing at Redcar. Best form at this trip and will appreciate the drying ground so could easily bounce back.

Form: 1454-35

(12)

Monadee¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 82WS

7/1

Had a wind operation since last season when progressing on each run culminating in a third start win. Handicap debut and should improve over this extra distance and with the absence.

Form: 631-

Al Barg^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| BF

16/1

Hasn't gone on since Windsor win on his second start and although he was entitled to need the run on his return, that is now two poor runs in a row and the blinkers are now added.

Form: 218-3

Lethal Lunch¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 81

6/1

Promising fourth over an inadequate trip at Bath on his return and interesting now back up to this distance and now a 2lb lower mark for his in form stable.

Form: 73147-4

Roman River²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: Martin Smith| OR: 80

12/1

Two good runs from three in maidens represents strong form and his second last time can be upgraded with little going right in the run. Should come on for the reappearance and make a big effort on handicap debut.

Form: 20-2

Mutafarrid²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 80| D

9/2

Looked well above average when showing much improved form stepped back up to this trip on handicap debut. Raised 11lb but looked the type to improve significantly at three and one to keep on the right side of.

Form: 9451-

(13)

Vj Day¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: K A Ryan| OR: 80

13/2

Lightly raced and ran a very good fourth in a strong handicap over 6f at Newmarket. Needs to prove he wants this far but the fast ground is very much in his favour and is improving.

Form: 63-2134

(6)

Black Friday²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 78

16/1

Well beaten on handicap debut on his fourth start last season. Looked the type to need time so entitled to improve and market best guide.

Form: 4320-

Finsbury Park²⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 78| D

20/1

Stable debut on return from an absence after two poor runs on the AW. May appreciate the return to turf and quicker conditions and in good hands. Market support should be noted.

Form: 183375-

Make Good¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: D H Brown| OR: 76| C

40/1

Won a novice race over 6f here last season but hasn't gone on since. Didn't act on fibresand following an absence but still best watched at present.

Form: 01259-4

(9)

Party Fears Too³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74

25/1

Placed at huge odds on third start and now makes handicap debut. Appeared to improve for switch to AW surface and well beaten on quick ground on debut. Tough ask.

Form: 8-43

(8)

Mountain Breath³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 74

25/1

One place behind Party Fears Too but was staying on late and could reverse form on handicap debut. Only raced on AW so far so unproven in conditions but only likely to improve.

Form: 31-4

(10)

Enrolment¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72| D

11/1

Used aggressive tactics from poor draw when fourth at Lingfield following handicap win. Likely more to come after absence and with more patient tactics.

Form: 59314-

Scenery³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 71

Maiden after four starts and well held on handicap and seasonal debut. Needs to find significant improvement.

Mutafarrid (9/2), Maksab (9/2), Lethal Lunch (6/1), Vj Day (13/2), Monadee (7/1), Los Camachos (10/1), Enrolment (11/1), Roman River (12/1), Daybreak (12/1), Al Barg (16/1), Black Friday (16/1), Scenery (20/1), Finsbury Park (20/1), Party Fears Too (25/1), Mountain Breath (25/1), Make Good (40/1)

MUTAFARRID went into the notebook with an eye-catching improved win on his last start at the end of his last campaign and although the handicapper took action he looked like the type to step up significantly again this campaign. Monadee likewise should only progress for a leading trainer known to take his time with his horses while Lethal Lunch rates a danger down in the handicap and back up to this trip.
