Galloping Hogan³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dane O'Neill| T: S Kirk| OR: 62

25/1

Leicester handicap winner over 1m on good-to-soft ground last October. Well held upped to 1m4f on seasonal debut and drop in trip should suit.

Form: 88071-6

Genuinely Crowded⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Tate| T: J A Osborne| OR: 62

20/1

Well held second over 1m4f here in January. Struggled since including in handicaps the last twice. More needed if she's to take this.

Form: 52776

Lexington Empire¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 60

9/4

Struggled in three runs so far but trainer is in good form at present (2/6) and there's a chance he'll leave that running well behind upped in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 00-9

Tesorina³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: W J Knight| OR: 58

20/1

Held in five runs to date most recently over this trip in a novice contest at Brighton (good-to-soft) a month ago. Interesting runner back in handicaps.

Form: 54-503

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hide| OR: 58

20/1

Finished a fair third over 1m here on her most recent outing in December. Stable can boast a 33% strike-rate (2/6) of late and she steps up in trip on handicap and seasonal debut.

Ruby's Gem^t,v1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 57

12/1

Yet to place in eight career starts and well beaten over this trip at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time. Wears a visor for the first time.

Form: 506-589

Dubai Landmark^p⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Louis Steward| T: H Palmer| OR: 56

8/1

Fair third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in March. Gelded since and this drop in trip should see him play a leading role in this contest.

Form: 08-6763

Midnight Blue^p⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 48

5/4

Broke her maiden over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton on seasonal debut earlier this week. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are retained and this step up in trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 0900-1

Isle Of Man¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 50

14/1

Struggled in three starts so far including on seasonal debut at Newbury (7f, good-to-firm) last month. Upped in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 00-0

Rocus¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

50/1

Well beaten in all three outings most recently on seasonal debut at Newbury (7f, good-to-firm). Others make more appeal stepping up in distance and racing from out of the weights on debut in handicaps.

Form: 07-0

Mullion Star³⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: M Madgwick| OR: 45

100/1

Beaten just one rival home in four outings so far. Probably best watched stepping up markedly in trip and racing from out of the weights on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Midnight Blue (5/4), Lexington Empire (9/4), Beloved Knight (9/2), Dubai Landmark (8/1), Destinys Rock (8/1), Ruby's Gem (12/1), Isle Of Man (14/1), Thistimelastyear (20/1), Tesorina (20/1), Genuinely Crowded (20/1), Galloping Hogan (25/1), Rocus (50/1), Mullion Star (100/1)

DUBAI LANDMARK ran well to finish third behind a previous winner at Wolverhampton in March and he can take this on his return to this trip. The selection has been gelded since that effort and can get the better of Destinys Rock who has run well in handicap company in the past while Midnight Blue remains open to improvement upped in trip and can take third.
