Big Lachie¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69| D

5/2

Produced a 6L turnaround with the runner-up at Bath when the race developed nicely for him. Up 5lb but remains handily weighted compared to his AW mark.

Form: 813741

Roundabout Magic¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 67| CD

10/3

Loves undulating tracks such as this and Lingfield. Five of his six wins have been for this rider and in the form of his life at present.

Form: 184123

Tawaafoq^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Quinn| OR: 62

2/1

It took 15 attempts before he opened his account and he then produced a career best at Newmarket. Needs to lead at the last possible moment.

Form: 344512

Everkyllachy^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J S Moore| OR: 61| D

7/1

Gets on well with this rider who has partnered her to all three successes. Not badly treated but she does seem happier in a lower grade than this.

Form: 3-75523

(4)

Ask The Guru^v⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| CD

7/1

Wins have tended to come off lower marks and 4lb higher than last turf success. Folded tamely last time and others preferred.

Form: 7-51635

Forecasts

Tawaafoq (2/1), Big Lachie (5/2), Roundabout Magic (10/3), Ask The Guru (7/1), Everkyllachy (7/1)

The five runners are closely matched on their best form, but ROUNDABOUT MAGIC is the more consistent and will again have conditions in his favour. Big Lachie is the main threat but he needs a strong pace to aim at and that depends on whether Ask The Guru reverts to the tactics that brought his last success. Tawaafoq is a difficult ride but today's pilot delivered him at the right time at Lingfield and Everkyllachy has done all her winning in class 6 races.
