Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 72| D

11/10

Has won two of his last three starts including a firm ground win at Bath last time out. This looks tough under a penalty but it's a winnable race.

Lady Valdean^p³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Santos| OR: 74

2/1

Gained a second career success at Bath a couple of starts back but she looks up against it dropped back to this trip. Will bid to make all.

Form: 6-96163

Andalusite^v⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Gallagher| OR: 64

7/1

Latest win came at Chelmsford in April. Not guaranteed to be able to dominate these rivals though and her best efforts are when she gets an uncontested lead. May also need relief from the handicapper.

Form: 7-81364

Duke Of North⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 62

13/2

Habitual slow starter and all his turf wins have come with cut in the ground. Well beaten at Kempton last time and others preferred.

Form: 4608-20

12/1

Yet to win in 15 starts and all her better efforts have come on AW. Doesn't look entirely straightforward and may struggle to lose her maiden tag here.

Forecasts

Rock Icon (11/10), Lady Valdean (2/1), Lord Clenaghcastle (5/2), Duke Of North (13/2), Andalusite (7/1), Narjes (12/1), Carnival King (14/1)

ROCK ICON produced a career best at Bath last time and he's taken to make it three wins from his last four outings in what would appear to be a weak contest. Lord Clenaghcastle has course and distance form in the book and can run well if settling better. Lady Valdean wouldn't be one to ruled out if she gets an uncontested lead.
