Tiar Na Nog¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Burns| T: D J Coakley| OR: 66

11/4

Remains a maiden after ten starts, but continues to run to a similar level of form (1m4f-2m) without progressing quite enough in order to break her duck. Runner-up over C&D fortnight ago and should be involved again.

Form: 83-8342

(2)

Kath's Legacy¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 64

11/4

Took advantage of reduced mark making good return from a break when narrowly denied at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Remains well treated on old form and should go well over longer trip.

Form: P85-902

(5)

Settle Petal²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Sophie Ralston⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 63

7/1

Winner over 1m on AW at Kempton in April, holding form well including runner-up finish at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) 20 days ago, unexposed over this longer trip from same handicap mark.

Form: 521442

(1)

Tyrolean¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Saunders| T: D Burchell| OR: 61

8/1

Remains a maiden after eight starts and somewhat inconsistent in that run, well enough held in two starts at Chepstow since joining this yard (1m2f/1m4f, both soft). Must improve to be in mix when it matters.

Form: 7230-34

(9)

Biotic²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd| T: B R Millman| OR: 59| C| D

4/1

Has won around here over 1m2f from much higher mark, but hasn't won since 2015 now and didn't show enough on return to action over shorter trip here last month to merit selection for this contest.

Form: 60850-6

(3)

Rivers Of Asia²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram| T: Martin Smith| OR: 54

10/1

Not the most reliable yardstick around, ran well in fourth of a mile at Brighton last time, stamina to be proven over this trip and 22-race maiden is probably worth opposing for now.

Form: 433374

(6)

Hallingham^v¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Jessica Cooley⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 53| BF

16/1

Behind re-opposing Kath's Legacy when seventh of 10 at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Reappearance at Salisbury last month had been promising, visor back on today. Not dismissed.

Form: 0-75237

(8)

Munsarim^b⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: L Carter| OR: 47| C| D

40/1

Winner of 16 races in his time but now 111-years-old and without a wince since autumn of 2016. Poor when last spotted on turf and not a lot to enthuse about in recent AW form.

Form: 90-0540

(7)

Hi There Silver²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Madgwick| OR: 45

50/1

Extended winless sequence to 20 with wide-margin defeat at Lingfield over a similar trip last month, hard to predict the breakthrough coming now.

Form: 235408

Forecasts

Tiar Na Nog (11/4), Kath's Legacy (11/4), Biotic (4/1), Settle Petal (7/1), Tyrolean (8/1), Rivers Of Asia (10/1), Hallingham (16/1), Munsarim (40/1), Hi There Silver (50/1)

SETTLE PETAL has held her form fairly well since winning on the AW at Kempton in the spring and is well worth a try over this extended trip having finished a good second at Brighton three weeks ago from this mark. Kath's Legacy was only just denied at Brighton recently on her return and is potentially well treated if building on that run. C&D runner-up Tiar Na Nog and Hallingham, who ran a nice race on reappearance at Salisbury before finishing adrift of Kath's Legacy last time, are others of interest.
