Hollywood Road⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 87| D

9/2

Mildly progressive last year and improved from a promising seasonal bow at Windsor to win at Lingfield last time. Could still be more to come and he's interesting here.

Form: 2234-31

Monaadhil¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 83

11/10

Unexposed gelding who won twice from three starts last year and made a pleasing reappearance when a narrow margin runner-up at Bath on firm ground on his return. May improve for the step up in trip and plenty to like about his chance.

Form: 121-2

Derek Duval^h,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 80| D

7/1

Has won twice already this year since having wind surgery over the winter. No match for the winner at Sandown last time but beat the rest comfortably enough and there could be more to come off the same mark here.

Form: 152142

Genetics²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

5/2

Came right back to form when winning at Brighton last time out on firm ground. The third from that race has come out and won again since and he's not one to rule out only up 4lb in the handicap.

Form: 95-3641

(4)

Settle Petal¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Liam Jones| T: P Phelan| OR: 67

18/1

Sole success to date came on AW but she's unlucky not to have got her head in front on turf including when only narrowly beaten at Windsor last time. 4lb rise for that makes her vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 214422

Forecasts

Monaadhil (11/10), Genetics (5/2), Hollywood Road (9/2), Derek Duval (7/1), Settle Petal (18/1)

HOLLYWOOD ROAD seems to be going the right way at present and he's the tentative selections in a race in which all five runners have chances. Genetics was impressive last time and can go well again but Monaadhil may prove to be the main danger with the least exposed profile in here and he's yet to finish outside of the first two home.
