16/1

All three wins have come at this track including over this 7f trip in April off 2lb lower mark. Fair third again here in May but a little disappointing last time out and needs to bounce back.

Form: 321937

French^v¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 57

16/1

Both wins have come on turf with give in the ground but has gone very close here a few times since. Dropped 3lb after latest poor run and looks to be struggling for form at present.

Form: 73-2009

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: S Lycett| OR: 56| C

Black Truffle^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56| CD

15/2

AW specialist who has won three times over C&D but has only won once in the last three years. Looked unlucky last time when hampered and eventually beaten just half a length over C&D so may be thereabouts this time with a clear run.

Form: 232253

Topology¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: J Tuite| OR: 55

9/2

18-race maiden has been tumbling down the weights over the last two years. Not disgraced last time at Kempton 7f but on balance others are much preferred.

Form: 6534-08

(6)

Ticks The Boxes^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 54| C

20/1

On 19-race losing streak having landed Newcastle 6f claim in March last year. Dropping down the ratings but has run badly only two previous visits here and is hard to fancy.

Form: 0-08084

(5)

Compass Point¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: R Brisland| OR: 59

9/4

Showed little in two starts for Laura Mongan but did better on debut for new connections when returned from nine-month break to finish fourth in Nottingham 1m maiden earlier this month. Makes AW bow of feasible handicap mark.

Form: 90-4

(10)

Javelin^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 59

14/1

Unplaced all five starts to date including last two outings in handicap company. Dropped 2lb and first-time cheekpieces applied but is hard to enthuse over.

Form: 5-7999

(1)

Lucifugous^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 58

6/1

Placed twice from five starts for Stuart Williams last term and has run respectably on a few occasions this campaign. Makes AW debut here and could figure if taking to the surface off a low mark.

Form: 36-3964

Forecasts

Compass Point (9/4), Topology (9/2), Robben Rainbow (9/2), Global Wonder (5/1), Lucifugous (6/1), Peachey Carnehan (7/1), Black Truffle (15/2), The King's Steed (11/1), Javelin (14/1), Lord Murphy (16/1), French (16/1), Ticks The Boxes (20/1)

ROBBEN RAINBOW ran a fair race at Ayr last time and a similar effort here might well prove good enough. Black Truffle rates a danger having looked a little unlucky not to score on his latest visit here, and Lucifuous is another not out of it if she takes to this track. Top weight Peachey Carnehan has claims on the pick of his form, and the unexposed Compass Point is one to note for any market interest on handicap debut.
