Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 68| CD

4/5

Comes off the back of two C&D wins here in a claimer and handicap company. That made it an unbeaten three visits here and won with more in hand than the official margins in both recent wins. Likely to make a bold bid to complete a hat-trick.

Form: 34-5611

Secratario^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 70

5/4

Won a weak handicap at Chelmsford and ran to a similar level in two starts since inlcuding when a beaten favourite in a claimer in France. More required on these terms but one of the more likely types on current form.

Form: 16-9134

Rum Ration^b1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Louis Steward| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 40

150/1

Six-race maiden who was well beaten over hurdles but also yet to show he has the ability to make an impression on these terms back on the Flat.

Form: 00-940

Endean³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 58

25/1

Well held in two maidens and a seller that leaves him plenty to find on AW debut. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 877

Sea Tea Dea^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 40

100/1

Just one win for Anthony Carson and well beaten on both starts for new stable. Tough ask at these weights and stamina to prove.

Miniature Daffodil^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G Harris| OR: 49

33/1

Both wins came at Chelmsford for David Evans and didn't seem to enjoy this surface on previous visit here. Well beaten in two starts for new stable and remains best watched.

Forecasts

Let's Be Happy (4/5), Secratario (5/4), Moltoir (13/8), Endean (25/1), Miniature Daffodil (33/1), Sea Tea Dea (100/1), Rum Ration (150/1)

The top three look clear at the weights with LET'S BE HAPPY taken to make it an unbeaten four runs at this track. She clearly revels in these conditions and looks a safe proposition compared to her rivals. Moltoir is arguably the best in on these terms but there is a concern over a trip this far if the race is truly run. Secratario isn't in bad form and should be competitive.
