Tai Sing Yeh^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Spencer| T: C Hills| OR: 64

Sole success came on the AW in October 2016. Handicap mark is falling following some moderate efforts this spring but probably best watched at present.

Fintech^t,v²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hide| OR: 62

12/1

Narrowly beaten over this trip at Brighton (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing. Return to this distance should suit having finished last of six at that venue subsequently.

Form: 25-9826

Al Ozzdi^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 71

Stepped up on previous handicap efforts when finishing third over 1m at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last time out. One to note racing off a 1lb lower mark.

Form: 0145-63

(4)

Blue Whisper¹¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 67

20/1

Held on all three starts in novice contests so far. Most recent came when beaten 27L at Chelmsford (7f) in March and he is probably best watched on handicap debut following a break.

Form: 7-95

(6)

Arendelle³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR: 64

2/1

Fair form so far including when fourth in a handicap contest over this trip at Leicester (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off a 3lb lower mark on this occasion.

Form: 05-064

(8)

Forricherforpoorer³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: N Mackay| T: W J Knight| OR: 50

33/1

Disappointed in three starts since finishing third at Chelmsford (1m2f) in January. Races off a 6lb lower mark here but others make more appeal.

Form: 0-53000

Forecasts

Arendelle (2/1), Al Ozzdi (11/4), Harlequin Striker (4/1), Tai Sing Yeh (5/1), Chetan (11/1), Fintech (12/1), Blue Whisper (20/1), Unsuspected Girl (25/1), Forricherforpoorer (33/1)

The concluding race on the card can go the way of AL OZZDI who ran well to finish third over this trip last time out. The selection has had just six starts and as such remains open to improvement with Arendelle capable of giving him most to think about following a a good fourth last time out. Tai Sing Yeh can take advantage of a falling handicap mark by finishing third.
