Desert Cross²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Fran Berry| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 71| D

4/1

Won for the third time at Bath on seasonal reappearance last month. Up 4lb and has a different track to contend with, but is clearly in good heart.

Form: 31023-1

(7)

Dock Of The Bay¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: M R Channon| OR: 68

14/1

Only glimpses of ability in three starts in novice/maiden company, Has a stout pedigree and could well do significantly better now he is handicapping.

Form: 0-56

(4)

Multigifted^p1³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: M Madgwick| OR: 68| D

14/1

Experienced performer who has shaped quite well on a couple of starts since having wind surgery. Interesting to see how she reacts to the first-time fitting of cheekpieces.

Form: 655-925

(5)

Sufi²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 68

5/1

Maiden after 12 races and was well beaten when last seen at Newbury last month. Inching down the weights, but others have stronger profiles.

Form: 747-638

Outofthequestion²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 59| BF

7/4

Still a maiden after eight starts, but seems to be coming to the boil and shaped well when a close second at Yarmouth last time. Has been raised 1lb, but looks likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 675-332

(3)

Ablaze²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 58| CD

5/1

Made a fine reappearance when winning over C&D last month. On top at the finish that day and has to go well if replicating that display off 4lb higher.

Form: 25309-1

(6)

Avocadeau^p,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: M Dwyer| T: W S Kittow| OR: 56| D

12/1

Five-times winner who produced a fair seasonal reappearance effort at Lingfield last month. Holds few secrets from the handicapper, however, and may be found wanting.

Form: 33146-6

Forecasts

Outofthequestion (7/4), Desert Cross (4/1), Sufi (5/1), Ablaze (5/1), Avocadeau (12/1), Dock Of The Bay (14/1), Multigifted (14/1), Miss Inga Sock (16/1)

Ablaze has a decent chance of adding to her recent C&D victory off her higher mark, but this could be the day that OUTOFTHEQUESTION sheds his maiden tag. He has been knocking on the door recently and can step up on his Yarmouth second. Desert Cross is in form and likely to go well, while Dock Of The Bay is interesting on his handicap debut
