Leo Minor²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: W Buick| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 84

8/1

Not won since 2016 when trained by Aidan O'Brien. Has found himself getting competitive now dropped to a more lenient mark but he does have the propensity to hang under pressure, as he did at Haydock last time and won't get away with that here.

Zamjar^p1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D C Costello| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 84| D

10/1

Latest win came over this trip but probably slightly more effective over 6f. Seemingly held by the handicapper on his last couple of starts and he needs first-time cheekpieces to bring about a career best.

Form: 4-21154

Diamond Lady²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 83| D

8/1

On a long losing run at present and handicapper is refusing to relent after some promising placed efforts, including on seasonal return at Lingfield when last seen. Booking of a talented 5lb claimer should help and has place claims here.

Form: 88344-2

Delagate This Lord¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 79| D

11/4

Recorded a hat-trick at the end of last summer but seemingly held by the handicapper on his more recent starts. Produced his best effort for some time from a poor draw at Sandown last time and a reproduction of that effort should see him go close.

Form: 18-7332

(2)

Shamshon^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 75| CD

7/2

Just won once in 26 starts for this yard and very little promise in his recent efforts. Last win came over C&D from 12lb higher so he's not one to put a line through.

Form: 263507

Joegogo¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: P D Evans| OR: 81| D

15/2

Some decent efforts in defeat this term including when beaten 1L into fourth at Windsor (5f, good-to-firm) last time. More needed if he's to take this however and still winless on turf.

Form: 565364

(3)

Jashma^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 75| D

9/2

All three wins came last year over this trip but struggling from this sort of mark this campaign and others would appear to be more likely winners.

Form: 1-27426

Forecasts

Delagate This Lord (11/4), Shamshon (7/2), Jashma (9/2), Joegogo (15/2), Leo Minor (8/1), Diamond Lady (8/1), Zamjar (10/1)

There's plenty to like about the chances of DELAGATE THIS LORD who ran well from a poor draw (10) at Sandown last time out over this trip. The booking of talented 5lb claimer Jason Watson may aid the cause of Diamond Lady who has been struggling to get her head in front lately while Leo Minor has been shaping with a bit more promise of late and shouldn't be ruled out.
