9/2

Blinkers go on for the first time after running with credit on return at Catterick (off 7 months) and now just 1lb above his last winning mark. Drops into this grade (0-60) for the first time and that should assist a more forward showing.

Form: 63140-6

9/1

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring on the AW at Kempton last year but failed to follow-up (raced too close to a strong pace) off 4lb higher. She should have no problem with this trip but the absence is a worry.

Singular Quest¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

3/1

0/20 on the Flat; he has run with credit on most of his starts through the early part of this year. Found his consistent run of form coming to an end last time out but now slips into this grade for the first time for this yard; may bounce back.

Form: 4/33346-

Iley Boy^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: J Gallagher| OR: 57| CD

3/1

Looked type who could progress a little further than this grade when landing back-to-back 1m4f AW handicaps at the start of the year (just failed to complete hat-trick). Last two runs have not seen him in the same form however (last time on turf).

Form: 6-11285

The Lock Master^p,t1¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-2| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| CD

33/1

Better known for his Fibresand exploits but has won here twice (once over this trip). Last win came in a Southwell seller and not the force he was; tongue-tie now joins the cheekpieces worn last time when he ran too free.

Polar Forest^e/s⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: R C Guest| OR: 53| C

28/1

His two course wins came much earlier in his career and he's a hard sort to catch right these days. Has run poorly in his last few runs and now goes up in trip again (0/3 at 1m4f); type to bounce back from out of the blue but hardly a solid sort.

Form: 78-8408

(9)

Speculator^b1³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Butler| OR: 53| BF| D

25/1

Mark now falling but arguable how much of his old ability that he retains although the market is usually a good indicator of that facet with this yard. Finished last of 13 over 1m2f when last seen but market the arbiter of his chance.

Form: 0/0800-0

Warofindependence⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 53

12/1

Mark falling rapidly but took a step in the right direction last time upped in trip with headgear left off. Potentially well handicapped if he can build on that run although it should be remembered he's yet to win a race.

Form: 5-59703

(11)

Trautmann^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: R Menzies| OR: 51

6/1

There was some promise in his first two runs for this yard both on the AW (needs strong gallop) but he's rather spoilt his chance the last twice on turf (run too free). A return to the AW might be to his advantage if he settles better.

Form: 54-6383

(10)

Kristal Hart^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 49

33/1

Folded up very quickly over hurdles last time (possibly amiss) and she would be equally hard to fancy on her AW form of late. Needs to prove that she can see a race out before she can be supported again.

Form: 173/7-60

(5)

Cool Music^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 47| D

16/1

Possibly in better form than her figures suggest as she does need a proper gallop to run at and she's not had that in the past few runs. Now runs off her correct mark and 6lb below her last winning mark.

Form: 6-76444

Forecasts

Singular Quest (3/1), Iley Boy (3/1), Tewafeedj (9/2), Trautmann (6/1), Moonlight Silver (9/1), Warofindependence (12/1), Cool Music (16/1), Speculator (25/1), Arabian Oasis (25/1), Polar Forest (28/1), Kristal Hart (33/1), The Lock Master (33/1)

Only modest fare but it will provide a chance for someone to get back on the winning trail. Trautmann should enjoy being back on the AW and like a few in this will appreciate a decent gallop if it arises. Singular Guest slips down into this grade for the first time and he could take a hand if he bounces back but it’s TEWAFEEDJ with blinkers on for the first time and down in grade that makes most appeal just above his last winning mark. Warofindependence features off a good mark if he can build on his last run with Cool Music another who can make an impression off a lowly mark.
