Brorocco^h⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 96| CD

9/4

C&D winner who ran a game race in defeat at Epsom last time out. Form of that race looks rock solid and while he's 3lb higher, he's clearly thriving at present. Should go well here.

Form: 2415-72

(2)

Majeed¹¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 95| D

16/1

Has run some fair races in defeat at Meydan this winter. His propensity to start slowly is becoming more common with every run but he's on a lenient handicap mark and can't be ruled out.

Form: 067-504

(8)

Valcartier²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 94

7/1

Maiden winner at Nottingham on his second start but not won since and he's been inconsistent in those four runs. Well beaten last of 11 at York last time and has a bit to prove after that effort from this sort of handicap mark.

Form: 8/123-20

(6)

Nonios^h⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 93| D

25/1

Arrives bidding for a hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Chelmsford. Hasn't looked as effective in four turf starts and on a career high mark here but fast ground will help at least.

Form: 144211

Proposed⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: L McJannet| OR: 91| D

50/1

Won a maiden at Sandown back in 2015 when trained by Richard Hannon. Won three times in Bahrain but he's struggled in the UAE of late and probably best watched on debut for his new yard.

Form: 4-06700

(3)

Aclimatise¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 88

7/2

Has returned in good form this campaign, getting his head back in front at Carlisle in May and not disgraced on ground softer than ideal at Leicester last time out. Up another 2lb possibly a bit hard but he will enjoy the return to quicker ground.

Form: 1-55213

(4)

Lunar Jet²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Mackie| OR: 83| D

7/1

Found some form when encoutering soft ground towards the back end of last year and returned with a win in rain softened ground at Newbury on return. Below form on good to firm here last time and conditions a concern again.

Form: 6214-16

Forecasts

Brorocco (9/4), Aclimatise (7/2), Alfarris (5/1), Lunar Jet (7/1), Valcartier (7/1), Majeed (16/1), Nonios (25/1), Proposed (50/1)

BROROCCO is a course and distance winner who ran a fine race in defeat at Epsom last time out and may be able to go one better here after a small rise in the weights. Majeed has been given a chance by the handicapper and should be ruled out while Aclimatise gets the services of Ryan Moore and has been in good form so far this campaign.
