Eagle Creek²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 95| BF

10/1

Won his maiden in impressive fashion at Lingfield last year but has not managed to get his head in front since and given a break after disappointing when 2/1 fav back at that course last time. Drops in trip and entitled to need this on return.

Form: 192730-

Charles Molson¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: P R Chamings| OR: 91| D

4/1

Inconsistent sort, particularly on turf but ran a fine race over C&D last time behind a promising sort. 1lb rise for that fair and looks likely to get a good pace to aim at here.

Form: 5561-02

Medieval^b⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 90| D

16/1

Got his head back in front at the end of last year but has struggled in two starts this season. Didn't beat at rival home at Haydock last time and has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 9471-00

The Warrior¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 85

5/1

One win in 29 turf starts and that came in a Curragh maiden back in 2015. Can often be seen travelling well, only to find trouble in running or gets there too soon, as seen last time out. Has run well over C&D from higher marks and has place claims.

Form: 2-69032

Easy Tiger¹¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: M S Saunders| OR: 85| CD

12/1

C&D winner who has returned to form for this yard on AW in recent times. Shaped as if amiss last time but given time to recover from that run and he's useful when granted an easy lead, though that looks unlikely here.

Form: 32-1415

(1)

Sir Titan¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 84| CD

5/2

Looked progressive in the early part of 2017 and found his form again here last time over C&D. 4lb rise looks fair but not guaranteed to get an easy lead here and different ground conditions.

Form: 2007-91

(7)

Del Parco^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| BF| D

10/1

Running well in 2017 without getting his head in front but recorded an impressive success at Lingfield on return. Perhaps made his effort too soon at Newmarket last time and still relatively unexposed.

Form: 3428-14

(8)

King of Nepal¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| OR: 78| D

11/1

Has won three times in eight starts but each of those on AW and yet to win in four turf runs. Arrives bidding for a belated hat-trick and runner-up from last time has been franking the form of that win but needs to prove his effectiveness on turf.

Form: 31/071-1

(6)

Ateem¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 88

7/1

Belatedly got off the mark in a Brighton handicap but struggled in a deeper race here last time and others preferred.

Form: 47-2210

Forecasts

Sir Titan (5/2), Charles Molson (4/1), The Warrior (5/1), Ateem (7/1), Del Parco (10/1), Eagle Creek (10/1), King of Nepal (11/1), Easy Tiger (12/1), Medieval (16/1)

CHARLES MONSON should benefit from the likely strong pace that's going to be on and he's only up 1lb for a course and distance second last time out. The Warrior isn't straightforward but he's very well-handicapped and only just failed to get home at Kempton last time. Del Parco was impressive in his return win and may be able to bounce back after a below par run last time.
