Point Hope¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 85| D

9/2

Won on AW in December and has been running well in defeat in three starts this season. Only run out of things late at Newmarket last time out but 4lb rise for that effort doesn't help. Each-way claims.

Form: 31-322

Manthoor²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 84| D

9/4

Improved on his return to action at Lingfield last month on his first start since wind surgery. Opening handicap mark requires him to take a step forward here but progress likely and can't be ruled out.

Form: 62225-1

(4)

Los Camachos¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 84

4/1

Got his head in front on his third start when a narrow margin win at Lingfield in January. Held his form well with two placed efforts since but needs improvement to defy this handicap mark.

Form: 26-123

(7)

Cosmopolitan Queen⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 83| CD

7/2

Improved for her Lingfield win to gain a C&D success here last month. She was a shade disappointing at Newmarket subsequently but the drop back down in trip might be in her favour here. Yard in form and not ruled out.

Form: 0-68113

Lethal Lunch²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 83| D

6/1

Got his head back in front at Haydock last time out and that looked like a decent race that day. Not the most consistent but 3lb rise could underestimate his ability.

Form: 147-461

(3)

Rogue⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 83| D

10/1

Won twice as a juvenile and returned with a much better effort at Newmarket last time out when only narrowly denied. Not ruled out if he can settle better but may need progress up 3lb in a tougher race.

Form: 114-562

Forecasts

Manthoor (9/4), Cosmopolitan Queen (7/2), Los Camachos (4/1), Point Hope (9/2), Lethal Lunch (6/1), Rogue (10/1), Arrogant (33/1)

MANTHOOR rates as the type to improve now handicapping and he was impressive on his first start since a wind operation last time out. Point Hope was only narrowly denied last time but Lethal Lunch could be well-handicapped here and is likely to be the main danger to the selection.
