Canadian George⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 67| BF

11/8

0-11, but has run some good races from this or similar marks in handicaps. Should be capable of going close now tried in this grade.

Form: 667333

Dicktation³⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Whitaker

100/1

Well beaten in both starts (shorter trips). Potential for some improvement over this distance, but watching brief again recommended on seller debut.

Form: 05-

Foxangel⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 55| C

40/1

Scored here in this grade (1m, good to firm), but well held in all runs since, including in this grade and over this trip. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0-18350

(13)

Groundnut^b1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 64

9/1

Won a Brighton novice event (7f, good) last year. Third last time out on his first try in a seller. Drops slightly in trip here and back on good ground he could have a squeak.

Form: 13-5773

(6)

Lifeboat^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 57

11/1

0-11 and behind Mans Not Trot in a Lingfield seller (now 3lb better off with him) last time. Not ruled out, but more needed.

Form: U96573

(5)

Livingstones Quest²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 58

11/2

Won a Ffos Las novice event last year (7f). Has not been competitive many times in handicaps, but two of his better runs came on good ground over this trip. May do better now in a seller.

Form: 753404

(3)

Royal Household¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 68

3/1

Without a win since his second start last year, but has plenty of handicap form that entitles him to serious consideration now dropped to this grade.

Form: 277740

(7)

Teaser^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 70

16/1

Clear form claims on his best efforts, but drastic drop in form on his last two starts. Cheekpieces now fitted (has gone well in a hood). Drops in grade and market might help gauge confidence in whether he can break his duck.

Form: 336260

Emily Webb

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Ellingworth⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Unett

150/1

First foal on a placed maiden point-to-pointer. Jumps pedigree and very much one to watch on her first racecourse appearance.

Peccary¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George

66/1

Tailed off on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month. Can only watch.

Form: 9

Takiah²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 53

40/1

Hinted that she might win a race earlier in the season with two reasonable effort over this trip. Unable to go on from there and others are preferred.

Forecasts

Canadian George (11/8), Royal Household (3/1), Mans Not Trot (4/1), Livingstones Quest (11/2), Groundnut (9/1), Lifeboat (11/1), Teaser (16/1), Fair Island (33/1), Takiah (40/1), Foxangel (40/1), Peccary (66/1), Dicktation (100/1), Emily Webb (150/1)

ROYAL HOUSEHOLD may be without a win this season, but his handicap form entitles him to serious claims now in this grade for the first time. Mans Not Trot is a very interesting exposed entrant, while Groundnut is not ruled out, along with Canadian George.
