Rockies Spirit⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: D P Quinn| OR: 82| D

11/2

Not won since his second start almost a year ago and struggling off this sort of mark throughout this campaign. May need more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 574345

Red Cymbal²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 81| BF| DWS

7/2

Improved from debut to win at Chelmsofrd in November and not seen since his third start back at that course last time out. Entitled to need this run and has his first start since a wind operation here.

Form: 314-

Airshow¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: B R Millman| OR: 80| D

10/1

Very impressive when justifying favouritism at Kempton last time out, winning by 4½L despite hanging right in the closing stages. Only up 4lb for that and no surprise to see him run well again for a yard in good form at present.

Form: 31-1841

Choice Encounter¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78| D

25/1

Sole win from 10 starts came at Kempton at the start of the year. Ruined his chance with a slow start last time having been unruly in the stalls prior to the race at Haydock last time but should be race fit at least and dropped 2lb in the handicap.

Form: 22-1238

Jupiter²⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| OR: 77WS

5/1

Still a maiden after five starts and makes his seasonal reappearance here on his first start since a wind operation. Entitled to need the run here.

Form: 42238-

The Establishment³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 77

5/1

Best career effort came over this trip at Nottingham in May. A little too keen at Leicester on only subsequent start last time and handicapper has taken no chance with his opening mark. Others preferred.

Form: 425

Vegas Boy¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 76| D

16/1

Two wins from 11 starts, both over this trip at Chelmsford. Ran with promise on his first start since a wind operation last time at Kempton but need to prove he as effective on turf here.

Form: 2113-73

(10)

Spring Romance³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 75| D

7/1

Highly progressive this year, winning four of this five starts and gave the impression that the handicapper is still yet to get hold of him at Lingfield last time. Steps up in class and has a 7lb rise to cope with but likely there's more to come.

Form: 5-12111

(2)

Wear It Well²⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 75| D

50/1

Won a maiden at Brighton last year but struggled on handicap debut last time at Nottingham. Makes her seasonal reappearance here and entitled to need the run in a competitive enough contest.

Form: 0415-

(4)

Prevent^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: R M Beckett| OR: 73

7/1

Has run to a similar level on each of his four starts including handicap debut last time and needs to up his game to win off this sort of mark.

Form: 6664

Forecasts

Red Cymbal (7/2), The Establishment (5/1), Jupiter (5/1), Rockies Spirit (11/2), Prevent (7/1), Spring Romance (7/1), Airshow (10/1), Vegas Boy (16/1), Choice Encounter (25/1), Wear It Well (50/1)

It may be worth taking a chance on AIRSHOW who was an impressive winner last time out at Kempton and there's a suspicion we haven't seen the best of him yet. Spring Romance is worthy of plenty of respect in his bid for a fifth win in six starts and he's another who would appear to be ahead of his mark. Vegas Boy isn't ruled out if he builds on his comeback effort from last time.
