Swissal⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: David Egan| T: David Dennis| OR: 69| D

11/1

Built on a promising seasonal debut when winning over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out. Raised 6lb for that effort and interesting to see if he can follow up in this contest.

Form: 12-2461

Mountain Peak¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 70

9/2

Dual winner on the AW over 7f at two and fair efforts over that trip the last twice including at Newbury when fourth on good-to-firm ground last time out. Of interest dropping in distance.

Form: 0115-34

Towelrads Boy^t1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: P & O Cole| OR: 69

22/1

Novice stakes winner at Wolverhampton (5f) last November. Struggled in handicaps in two starts this year including in blinkers (absent here) last time. Wears a tongue tie for the first time.

Form: 61-700

Mutabaahy^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 69| D

11/4

Winning for the second time when victorious over this trip at Thirsk (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Good effort in finishing runner-up six days later and remains open to improvement.

Form: 262212

Daffy Jane¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68| D

9/2

Placed twice on turf this spring prior to winning over 6f at Thirsk (good-to-firm) last time out. Has to defy a 3lb rise in the weights if she's to take this contest.

Form: 1-67331

(8)

Servilia¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 68

25/1

Placed over this trip at Wolverhampton last month. Well held on handicap debut subsequently however and more needed if she's to break her maiden in this event.

Form: 5425

Edge Of The World^b³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 66| BF| CD

9/4

Bidding to complete a hat-trick but could finish only third at Windsor (6f, good-to-firm) last time out. Had looked progressive prior to that and is worth considering here.

Form: 87-6113

(7)

Joust³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65

33/1

Seven race maiden and well held on both starts since joining this year including over this trip at Nottingham (good-to-firm) last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4088-67

Mardy Gras¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

33/1

Held in all five starts to date including in handicap company twice this spring. Probably best watched racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Edge Of The World (9/4), Mutabaahy (11/4), Mountain Peak (9/2), Daffy Jane (9/2), Haverland (7/1), Choosey (7/1), Swissal (11/1), Zouch (14/1), Towelrads Boy (22/1), Servilia (25/1), Joust (33/1), Mardy Gras (33/1)

EDGE OF THE WORLD can put a disappointing latest effort behind him by registering his third win in his last four starts in this sprint handicap. Mutabaahy has been in good form so far this year and can finish runner-up for the fifth time this year having filled the same position at Carlisle last time out. Last time out winner Daffy Jane can claim third with the trip and ground in her favour.
