Shaybani³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 90

10/1

Won two of his first four starts and plenty to like about his attitude when winning last time. Ran well at this course on debut and the form of his latest win is working out well.

Form: 2101

More Than This⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 88| D

4/1

Unbeaten in two starts, most recently at Haydock when justifying favouritism. Form of that latest effort franked since by the runner-up winning twice since. Live contender here with more progress on the cards.

Form: 11

James Watt²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 88

20/1

Winner of his first two starts but has struggled upped class in two starts at Ascot subsequently. Needs to improve for the step up in trip here.

Form: 1103

(16)

Cupboard Love²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 88| D

10/1

A winner of two of her four starts, holding on gamely at Haydock last time over this trip. 8lb higher for that win possibly makes her a shade vulberable here and draw isn't ideal for her likely front-running tactics.

Form: 3141

(13)

Revich²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 85| D

25/1

Got his head in front on handicap debut at Chester last time but a 7lb rise for that effort dropped in to a deeper race makes life more difficult here. Trainer and jockey combined for a winner here Wednesday.

Form: 93231

No More Regrets¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 84

20/1

A maiden after four starts but has at least showed a little more in two starts since joining this yard. Makes handicap debut off a workable mark but wide draw isn't ideal.

Form: 312034

(8)

Barristan The Bold¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 82

4/1

Only narrowly denied at Windsor last time out and handicapped hasn't gone overboard with his opening handicap mark. Likely to improve here stepped back up to 7f haven't run with credit over the trip on second run.

Form: 332

(9)

Water Diviner¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

16/1

Narrowly denied on debut at Chelmsford but gained compensation at Wolverhampton last month. Turf debut at Haydock was below par and No More Regrets likely to be the yard's first string.

Form: 214

(6)

Forseti^h¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 81| D

7/1

Shaped with plenty of promise on debut when making some good late headway. Won at Salisbury on second start when racing too keen throughout but didn't get away with that trait at Newmarket last time when well beaten. Must settle better.

Form: 416

(11)

Indian Viceroy⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison| OR: 79

25/1

Improved from his debut to run well at Leicester next time at big odds but failed to build on that at Salisbury last time out. Quite possible he will improve for the step up to this new trip.

Form: 024

(1)

Hieronymus¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: S Durack| OR: 78

12/1

Unplaced on each of his three runs but did improve a little last time when staying on well in to fourth. May do better over further than this trip.

Form: 454

(2)

Greenback Boogie²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: B J Meehan| OR: 78| D

10/1

Has held his form well since debut and improved a little to get his head in front at Epsom last time.

Form: 63421

(17)

Two Blondes²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 77| BF

11/1

Improving a little with each start and runner-up at Chester last time out behind re-opposing Revich. Better off at the weights with that rival here but others bring in stronger form.

Form: 53332

(12)

Artistic Rifles¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Liam Jones| T: C Hills| OR: 75

20/1

Has run okay on each of his three starts but yard's runners have been below form of late and he makes limited appeal on handicap debut here.

Form: 549

(19)

Reddiac¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

40/1

Showed glimpses of ability on his first couple of starts but virtually tailed off last time and may do better given more time.

Form: 630

(14)

Chonburi¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

50/1

Improved a little from debut when fourth of seven at Windsor and ran to a similar level on AW debut at Lingfield. Starts life in handicaps now but down the order on jockey bookings and needs to improve plenty here.

Form: 844

(5)

St Ouen¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

40/1

Well beaten in each of his three starts, most recently over this trip at Newbury on similar ground. Makes handicap debut but hard to make a case for.

Form: 750

Forecasts

More Than This (4/1), Barristan The Bold (4/1), Forseti (7/1), Greenback Boogie (10/1), Cupboard Love (10/1), Shaybani (10/1), Two Blondes (11/1), Hieronymus (12/1), Water Diviner (16/1), Artistic Rifles (20/1), No More Regrets (20/1), James Watt (20/1), Mohogany (20/1), Indian Viceroy (25/1), Revich (25/1), Nayslayer (25/1), St Ouen (40/1), Reddiac (40/1), Chonburi (50/1)

MORE THAN THIS arrives with an unbeaten record to defend and there's every chance his trainer has left plenty to work on after a fairly straightforward success at Haydock last time. The form of Shaybani's most recent win has been boosted since he last ran while Barriston The Bold is taking steps forward with each run and can make his presence felt here.
