Poetic Principle⁷⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: J S Moore| OR: 74

12/1

Promise in three maidens in 2016 including final start over C&D when third. Obviously had issues aplenty to be off since and tall order to win after such an absence.

Form: 043/

Aegean Legend³⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: J J Bridger

20/1

Ran on over 5f on debut before probably not staying 7f next in two starts to date but makes very belated return to action here so questions aplenty about fitness and form not persuasive enough to chance it.

Form: 35-

Cape Greco⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: J Hughes

33/1

Beaten out of sight latest over 1m4f after showing little over 7f in first start. Now drops back 50 per cent in trip but suggest more in hope than optimism.

Lord Del Boy⁴⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater

50/1

Only raced once and tailed-off last in that May 2017 race when trained by Bill Turner. Hard to know what to expect after such a long absence but hard to find any positives.

Form: 7-

Motajaasid^t1⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 77WS

6/1

Promise in all of his three starts but disappointing after a break latest at Brighton. Since had a wind-op which could explain the problem last time so very easily could bounce back now and merits consideration in a weak contest.

Sir Thomas Gresham

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: Tim Pinfield

7/1

50,000gns yearling by Dutch Art is a brother to two winners both at two so it's somewhat surprising we haven't seen him until now. Probably best watched on belated debut.

Taoiseach¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| OR: 67

4/1

Improved effort latest after a break when third of six at Chelmsford albeit beaten 9¼L where he was ½L ahead of Tamerlane. Stable won last two running's of this race and ought to go well again with this colt.

Form: 5-63

Aegean Beauty³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Jones| T: J J Bridger

66/1

Some promise first time up at Lingfield when fourth but no obvious excuses next when last of 12 at Kempton. That leaves a few question marks over her here and needs to bounce back.

Form: 40

Asharedmoment¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J & S Best

80/1

Never sighted on debut at Chelmsford when tailed off and beaten some 27L into last of six. Huge improvement needed to play any part here.

Form: 6

Blue Willow²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

3/1

Well beaten fourth of 11 on debut at Salisbury but running a good race next at Ffos Las over 7½f until tiring late on and dropping to sixth. Looked sure to appreciate this drop back in trip here and could very easily be involved.

Form: 46

Gloweth²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W S Kittow| OR: 69

9/4

Gradual improvement in three turf starts culminating in a Chepstow second but performed at a lesser level next when down the field at Kempton switched to AW. Back on turf here she could very easily bounce back and rates a big player.

Form: 6429

Lily Jean³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Keniry| T: W S Kittow

66/1

Almost pulled up on debut when last and similarly poor next when last beaten 16L. Very hard to fancy on those two poor runs.

Forecasts

Gloweth (9/4), Blue Willow (3/1), Taoiseach (4/1), Tamerlane (9/2), Motajaasid (6/1), Sir Thomas Gresham (7/1), Poetic Principle (12/1), Aegean Legend (20/1), Cape Greco (33/1), Lord Del Boy (50/1), Aegean Beauty (66/1), Lily Jean (66/1), Asharedmoment (80/1)

GLOWETH had been progressing well nicely of late until disappointing when switched to AW. Hopefully she can bounce back here with the return to turf and if doing so she has the strongest claims on offer. Motajaasid had also been going well until latest and after a wind-op he could easily bounce back now. Tamerlane can turn the tables on Taoiseach here and is certainly open to improvement.
