Stanhope^p²⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 85| D

10/3

Very consistent last season and starts this season on a new high mark as a result. First start for new yard, who often do well with other's castoffs, won't mind any cut and has a decent draw to work from. Chance of fit for reappearance.

Lightning Charlie¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 83| D

8/1

Mark falling quickly after a series of moderate efforts and he showed no signs of stopping the rot at Ascot latest. Poor record with cut in the ground as well, so any further rain a negative.

Form: 000-449

Six Strings¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 82| D

5/1

Lives on his nerves a little, and was a bit disappointing in the Victoria Cup last time. This is obviously easier, and he may be fitter now, but stall 1 no great help and any further rain a negative too.

Form: 3037-60

Bahamian Dollar¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 81| CD

5/1

Showed plenty of speed to make all in heavy ground at Leicester in April and then probably found the drop down to 5f (and quicker ground) against him last time. This looks more suitable and this draw could be advantageous if there's more rain.

Form: 0-50315

Glory of Paris¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman| OR: 77| D

9/2

Consistent and tries hard, won't mind how much rain falls as he's got plenty of form in soft/heavy ground and was only just touched off over C&D her in April. Conditions likely to suit then, and he looks a big player once more.

Wiley Post^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Dane O'Neill| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76| C

11/1

Came good after a series of consistent efforts here last time out but that was in lesser grade, and over 5f. Plenty to prove here, not least his ability to act with some cut in the ground, and this trip (all wins at 5f).

Form: 93233-1

Cappananty Con^h¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 74| D

22/1

Not the most consistent but did come good at Chelmsford when getting a good pace to settle off. Not seen out since December though, and likely to need a run to blow the cobwebs away.

Daschas^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| BF

11/2

Has plenty of early speed, showed it again when a second at Newmarket latest but was ultimately well beaten at the finish. Any more rain a negative as well, and not hard to look elsewhere for the winner.

Form: 0-32182

Cuttin' Edge¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 72| D

33/1

Only had the four starts, and does have a victory over Stanhope to his name, but well beaten latest after a long absence and it remains to be seen what ability he has these days.

Forecasts

Stanhope (10/3), Equitation (4/1), Glory of Paris (9/2), Bahamian Dollar (5/1), Six Strings (5/1), Daschas (11/2), Lightning Charlie (8/1), Wiley Post (11/1), Mullionheir (12/1), Cappananty Con (22/1), Cuttin' Edge (33/1)

EQUITATION looks a likely improver this season and ran perfectly well on his first start this year at Doncaster. This looks a little easier and he can take this en route to bigger and better things. Bahamian Dollar might have the pace to capitalise from what could be a good draw (if the rain arrives) and might be the one to catch. Glory Of Paris is another that has conditions to suit, and ought to run his race once more.
