Muraadef²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 62

11/4

Nicely-bred sort who has finished down the field in three starts in maiden/novice company. May do better now he is handicapping at a modest level.

Form: 6-69

(11)

Jungle Queen^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 62

16/1

Showed promise as a juvenile, but has been well held in two handicaps this season. Has been cut some slack by the assessor and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could help.

Form: 663-59

(8)

Glamorous Dream²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 60

16/1

Out of the frame in five starts, two of them in handicap company. Needs to find extra to get involved off her lowest mark so far.

Form: 760-87

(3)

Lucifugous^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

9/2

Three starts for current trainer since joining the yard from Stuart Williams' stable, but has been well held and handicap rating is falling accordingly. May pop up at some stage, but hard to make a strong case for at the moment.

Form: 536-396

(6)

Wicked Sea¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 59

12/1

Out of the frame in four starts on the AW and needs switch to turf to have a beneficial effect. Betting market may be the best guide to her chance.

Form: 7787

(9)

Quick Recovery^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 58

14/1

Not at her very best of late, but has not been disgraced either and is able to compete off a feasible mark. Both wins have come on the AW, however.

Form: 131746

(7)

Parable⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: J L Flint| OR: 58

33/1

Three quiet runs in novice company over a variety of distances. Makes his handicap debut back at this trip and is worth a check in the betting.

Form: 868

(14)

Affluence⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Martin Smith| OR: 57

9/2

Easily best effort so far when finishing second of 17 at Leicester last week. Has to be a leading player off the same mark if able to reproduce that running.

Form: 4800-82

(15)

Diamond Express^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 56

40/1

Ran well to be second over 6f at Chepstow two starts ago, but could not match that run when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Brighton last time. Somewhat surprising the headgear is retained.

Form: 040-729

(1)

Duba Plains^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 55

11/1

Maiden after 11 starts, but did go close on the AW at Lingfield in April. Chance off this lower mark if able to return to that sort of form.

Form: 203758

(10)

Madame Jo Jo^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 53

8/1

Still a maiden after 12 starts, but last two efforts have been far more encouraging. Up 1lb for her close second at Chepstow last time and has to enter calculations.

Form: 864632

(12)

Prince Rock^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 53

25/1

Little show in four starts in novice company over 6f to 1m. Retains the hood he wore for the first time on latest start and may do better now he is handicapping,

Form: 00-06

(5)

Scimitar^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 53

16/1

Fair third of 11 on his handicap debut over 6f at Wolverhampton last time and has been dropped 2lb. Should be involved if taking another step forward.

Form: 8703

(4)

Kylie Style⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Ellingworth⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a maiden after 12 starts and was well held over 1m off this mark at Wetherby on latest outing. Not difficult to oppose.

Form: 9-76408

Forecasts

Muraadef (11/4), Lucifugous (9/2), Affluence (9/2), Madame Jo Jo (8/1), Duba Plains (11/1), Wicked Sea (12/1), Quick Recovery (14/1), Glamorous Dream (16/1), Jungle Queen (16/1), Scimitar (16/1), Prince Rock (25/1), Irish Times (25/1), Parable (33/1), Kylie Style (40/1), Diamond Express (40/1)

Muraadef is surely better than he has shown so far and ought to do better in this sphere, but the choice is AFFLUENCE, who runs off the same mark as when showing much improved form to be second at Leicester last week. Madame Jo Jo looks a big danger on her Chepstow second, while there are reasons to believe the likes of Jungle Queen, Scimitar and Quick Recovery can get involved.
