9/1

Two of his three wins have come in this grade and he usually gives a good account here. Yet to prove his stamina in two previous tries at this trip, but this looks a lot easier.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 60| C

4/1

More than two years since his last victory. Has won here in the past and new mark is generous, but hard to be convinced he can grab the opportunity.

7/4

Scored at Kempton on Monday for new trainer and appeared to have more in hand than the margin suggested. Had a good trip that day but respected under a penalty that is offset by a claimer who knows the filly.

Form: 693-251

Havana Breeze¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R Ffrench| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 58

14/1

Lightly raced Teofilo filly and half-sister to middle-distance winner Shrewd who stayed 1m6f. That pedigree suggests there is improvement to come at this trip and she appeared to be finding her level here last time.

Dream Serenade^h⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| C| D

40/1

On a career high mark following a clear win two starts back at Southwell before being well beaten on both comeback runs. Stable in good form but might be better suited by the Fibresand.

Calvinist^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 54

6/1

Showed ability early in his career but has been around a number of yards now and not managed a win for two years. Took a step forward on stable debut over C&D last month and entitled to come on for the run.

Form: 00-8572

50/1

Down to another career low mark having only beaten one home on stable debut. Hard to fancy on that showing.

Mr Frankie¹⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 51| C

25/1

Stepped up on previous efforts for this trainer when second here in April. Having first run since and overall record of 1-32 makes him opposable.

Form: 57-0672

Demophon¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: S Flook| OR: 51

7/1

Half-brother to Dartmouth is yet to find his trip and the lack of pace in some of his races is making that harder. Heavily backed last time when early interference meant he had to race wider than ideal. Finished strongly and worth another go at 1m4f

Form: 507042

Mrs Burbidge^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 49| CD

16/1

Latest victory came in Jersey but she has gone well on both starts since. Looks held by Calvinist on latest showing.

Forecasts

Thistimelastyear (7/4), Zamperini (4/1), Calvinist (6/1), Demophon (7/1), Windsorlot (9/1), Havana Breeze (14/1), Viceroy Mac (14/1), Mrs Burbidge (16/1), Mr Frankie (25/1), Gallus (33/1), Dream Serenade (40/1), Bertie Moon (50/1)

Demophon will be fancied to recover recent Chelmsford losses after doing well to finish as close as he did given the trip he had. HAVANA BREEZE is less exposed and appeared to be progressing when fourth here last time. Her pedigree indicates there may be even better to come at this trip. Thistimelastyear scored well in similar company on Monday in a race where it paid to be on the pace. Whilst she arrives in better shape than most, the form may be misleading.
