Star Stream^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 72

7/1

Well beaten on each of his four starts. Entitled to have needed the run returning from a significant absence at Chepstow last time but others make more appeal.

Form: 406/7

(2)

Oeil De Tigre¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| CD

9/4

Well suited to 6f on fast ground but still too good over C&D last time out when ground wouldn't have been ideal. Escapes a penalty for that run but up 3lb for his previous second. Ought to go well again with his jockey from last time claiming 7lb.

Form: 612-821

(7)

Met By Moonlight⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: R J Hodges| OR: 65| D

3/1

Just two wins from 18 starts but could hardly have been more impressive at Bath last time out when winning by 11L. Carries a 6lb penalty here but due to go up another 7lb when handicapper has his say and should go well here.

Form: 345231

Admirable Art²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68

40/1

Badly out of form in recent times and has done all his recent winning over plenty further than this. Yard have stronger claims with Oeil De Tigre.

Form: 140-860

Incentive^p⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: W S Kittow| OR: 65| D

4/1

Sole win in 12 starts came in heavy ground at Ffos Las but returned with a creditable effort when third of 16 at Windsor last time. Likely to want rain to be seen to best effect but can't be ruled out here.

Form: 29510-3

Flowing Clarets¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: J J Bridger| OR: 63| D

20/1

Four of her five wins have come over 5f but did win a claimer over this trip in 2016. In good form towards the end of last year but her two runs this year have been a little below par and this looks like a competitive contest.

Form: 2218-73

(6)

Emjayem^p⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: P R Chamings| OR: 54

5/1

Not won since 2015 but shaped with some promise on his return at Lingfield when not beaten all that far. Well-handicapped on old form and well-suited to fast ground so can't be ruled out if he comes on for the latest outing.

Form: 85957-6

Forecasts

Oeil De Tigre (9/4), Met By Moonlight (3/1), Incentive (4/1), Emjayem (5/1), Star Stream (7/1), Mad Endeavour (14/1), Father Mckenzie (16/1), Flowing Clarets (20/1), Admirable Art (40/1)

There's several well-handicapped runners in here and both Met By Moonlight and OEIL DE TIGRE will be running off higher marks next time out with narrow preference for the latter who was a last time out course and distance winner. Emjayem shaped with some promise on return and may take a step forward from that and challenge for the places along with Mad Endeavour.
