Full Intention¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: A C Whillans| OR: 76

3/1

0-14 on turf and two runs for this yard haven't been anything more than what he achieved previously for Tom Dascombe. Up to this trip for the first time.

Form: 4030-07

Tadaawol^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 75| D

4/1

Not the most consistent but holds claims on the basis of his placed effort at Newcaste two starts back, and though he has never won on fast ground he has finished second on a few of occasions.

Form: 45-4030

Cincuenta Pasos²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Tuite| OR: 72| D

9/1

Nowhere need his best in his two races so far this year, but they were both on heavy ground and he may be seen to better effect in less testing conditions.

Form: 0/777-09

Redrosezorro^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 69| BF| D

15/8

In fine form recently and only narrowly denied a four-timer at Thirsk last time out. Now 9lb higher which is an obvious concern but could progress further and certainly can't be ruled out.

Form: 831-112

(9)

Mishaal¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: M Herrington| OR: 68| C| D

12/1

Slightly patchy AW form over 6f recently, but did win in claiming company at Lingfield in April, and has form off higher marks than this as well as on quick ground.

Form: 0-77163

Munthany¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

14/1

Seven race maiden, but ran fairly well at Thirsk last time (certainly an improvement on his seasonal return the time before), and drops in trip again here. His turn could be near.

Form: 5334-04

Rock Warbler^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Evans| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 63| D

12/1

Has beaten just two rivals home in three races so far this year, and impossible to fancy off the back of such lackluster performances.

Forecasts

Redrosezorro (15/8), Full Intention (3/1), Tadaawol (4/1), Cincuenta Pasos (9/1), Mishaal (12/1), Rock Warbler (12/1), Parys Mountain (12/1), Munthany (14/1), Eastern Racer (14/1)

Redrosezorro has been in fine form recently but takes another hike up the weights, and preference is for MUNTHANY. Tim Easterby's charge took a definite step in the right direction at Thirsk last time, and perhaps dropping in trip again here can prove key to finally getting off the mark, especially as he hasn't had all that much racing for a four-year-old. Mishaal is another to note on his return to turf.
