Shraaoh^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: H Fry| OR: 91

9/2

Maiden winner at Newcastle on sole AW start and while he's yet to record a success in 10 turf runs, he seemingly wants fast ground so can't be ruled out for a yard in form.

Form: 5/4300-4

(7)

Humble Hero¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: W J Haggas| OR: 91

11/4

Won twice last year and only just touched off on second start of 2018 when runner-up at Chester last time. Given a 3lb rise for that effort but that looks fair given the way the front two pulled clear of the field and should go well here.

Form: 1410-92

(2)

Seaport^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: S W Kelly| T: S Durack| OR: 85

20/1

Has suffered an interrupted career in recent years and has not won since he was trained by Andre Fabre in France in 2015. Well beaten here over 2m here last time out and may need more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 7/00-336

(4)

Cape Caster^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

28/1

Still well above his last winning mark on the Flat back in 2014. Won over fences last year but recent Flat efforts have been below par and others preferred.

Form: 5132/9-5

(8)

Arthur Mc Bride^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: L P Keniry| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 85| C

16/1

Both wins on the Flat have come at this course over 2m and only 2lb above his last winning mark now. May have needed the run on return from a break on first start since a wind op so not ruled out back at this course.

Form: 32100-0

Compton Mill¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 84

28/1

Generally a consistent sort who won twice last year. May come on for his recent return at Lingfield but would probably want to see softer ground than what's forecast to be seen to best effect.

Form: 64186-6

(6)

Arab Moon¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: W J Knight| OR: 83

7/1

Has won four times in 14 starts but there's a concern he's yet to win on turf. Well beaten over C&D last time out and still above his highest winning mark.

Form: 120-046

(5)

Rydan⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: S Hitchcott| T: G & J Moore| OR: 80

33/1

On a long losing run at present and only placed once in five spins around this course when second in this race last year. Well beaten last of four at Lingfield last time and he has a bit to prove after that effort.

Form: 5522-44

(3)

Sky Eagle²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker| OR: 79

13/8

Got better with every start last season, culminating with a win at Kempton and returned with a win at Wolverhampton in April. Not beaten far when third of 17 in what was probably a strong handicap at York last time and should go well here.

Form: 3421-13

Forecasts

Sky Eagle (13/8), Humble Hero (11/4), Shraaoh (9/2), Arab Moon (7/1), Arthur Mc Bride (16/1), Seaport (20/1), Compton Mill (28/1), Cape Caster (28/1), Rydan (33/1)

SKY EAGLE brings a more progressive profile in to the race than his rivals here and ran a fine race in defeat at York last time. If he handles the track, he could be the one to side with. Humble Hero ran well last time out and still looks feasibly handicapped while Shraaoh looks set to be suited by conditions here.
