Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Cameron Noble| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 72| D

9/1

Not won since his second start back in 2015 and losing run now stands at 22. Well beaten last time out and hard to fancy on all known form.

Form: 245575

Tigerwolf²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: E J Walsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| D

9/2

Has won twice on AW already this year but only has a maiden win at Salisbury to his name in 14 turf starts. Still feasibly handicapped after another good effort last time and turf win did come on fast ground. Not discounted.

12/1

Usually gives a good account at Chepstow, as was the case when bouncing back to form with a placed effort last time. Off a lower mark here with the step up to 6f a positive.

Oeil De Tigre⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| D

2/1

6f on fast ground would appear to be his optimum trip and due to go up 3lb when new mark kicks in after a fine effort in defeat at Chepstow last week. Leading player if he returns in the same form here.

Form: 3612-82

Pour La Victoire^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| CD

6/1

Got his head back in front at Brighton last time, following up a promising effort at Lingfield in March. Still well-handicapped on old form and has won over C&D before. Plenty to like about his chance.

10/1

Not won on turf since 2015 and returned with a below-par effort at Bath last month. On a career low mark but his consistency makes him hard to fancy.

Form: 9-71409

Billyoakes^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 65| D

13/2

Not won on turf since 2014 but he's been running well on AW this winter and he was only beaten 3L on return to turf last time out. Claims if he can build on that now.

Garth Rockett^p,t⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: B G Powell| OR: 58

10/1

Inconsistent sort but did win twice last year. Seen to best effect when ridden prominently and a chance he will get that here so not dismissed.

Forecasts

Oeil De Tigre (2/1), Tigerwolf (9/2), Pour La Victoire (6/1), Billyoakes (13/2), Eltezam (9/1), Anonymous John (10/1), Garth Rockett (10/1), Sea Shack (10/1), Kinglami (12/1)

TIGERWOLF looks on a fair mark and should be well suited by the ground here. Pour La Victoire can't be discounted if returning in the same form and is another on a lenient looking mark while Garth Rockett isn't the most consistent sort but he won twice last year and has shaped well on synthetic surfaces the last twice.
