Hawridge Flyer¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 75| D

4/1

Won maiden on heavy for Stuart Kittow and will appreciate the cut after two runs for new stable. Down in class and looks a leading contender.

Form: 2318-35

(7)

Visandi³¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 75

25/1

Winner on the Flat in France but generally disappointing for this stable over hurdles and in two well beaten starts back on the level last year.

Form: 3821/68-

Albizzia³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75

4/1

Has taken a step forwards in all three starts on much different surfaces to each other. Boasts a classy pedigree so should have more to offer on handicap debut and market should prove informative.

Form: 4-13

(10)

Bombero²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 74| D

7/1

Progressive type who relished the testing conditions for a clear success last time. Should be involved again but more required up 7lb in a tougher race.

Form: 19-2421

(8)

Light Of Air^v⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: G & J Moore| OR: 74| D

20/1

Will appreciate the return to this distance but never got into the race on seasonal reappearance and best watched.

Form: 31232-0

Give Him Time²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: N J Gifford| OR: 72

14/1

Yet to register in 15 starts under rules, trying his hand on the Flat and over hurdles/fences. 3lb drop in weights and a shorter trip will hope and place possibilities.

Form: 33257

Past Master¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| OR: 71

9/2

Lightly-raced and settled better when upped to this trip last time. Open to progress at this distance and drops in grade, however seemed suited by quicker ground latest.

Form: 34/2-64

(14)

Clovelly Bay¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 69| D

25/1

Disappointed on the AW despite best form coming in that sphere. Now well beaten in both starts this year and hard to recommend. Stable won this last year.

Form: 2694-69

(5)

Saumur²¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: T P Queally| T: D J Coakley| OR: 67| D

12/1

Two wins from 21 starts but generally consistent and now 4lb below last winning mark. Raced fine on seasonal debut last year and not without a chance down in grade.

Form: 253644-

Snookered³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: B Ellison| OR: 67

7/1

Ran right up to his best when a running second on his third start for new yard at this trip last time. Can remain competitive off this mark, gets a welcome change in ground and an eye-catching jockey booking.

Form: 1736-82

(9)

Long Call^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66

16/1

Not badly handicapped on early form for Charlie Appleby and ran tenth for Tony Martin over hurdles in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival. Well beaten on reappearance on the Flat and now first run for new stable. Market should be informative.

Form: 4423/0-9

(11)

Betsalottie²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger| OR: 62| D

14/1

Ran well without a clear passage on turf last time and run can be upgraded. However remains a touch high in the weights in this stronger contest.

Form: 161544

Forecasts

Hawridge Flyer (4/1), Albizzia (4/1), Past Master (9/2), Paddy A (11/2), Bombero (7/1), Snookered (7/1), Saumur (12/1), Give Him Time (14/1), Betsalottie (14/1), Long Call (16/1), Light Of Air (20/1), Ravenous (20/1), Clovelly Bay (25/1), Visandi (25/1)

An open looking handicap where SNOOKERED is taken to back up arguably the best run of his career on just his fourth start for his new stable. He missed a recent engagement due to quick ground and conditions should prove ideal. Hawridge Flyer gets a welcome drop in grade and would also appreciate any further rain, Paddy A is in form on the AW and providing he goes on the ground remains on a good mark.
