Runaiocht²²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: B Forsey| OR: 57| CD

25/1

Emphatic win over C&D in basement grade in February but below that in two runs after and now returns after a seven months absence with a bit to prove.

Form: 9-38144

Zahirah⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 55

4/1

Just touched off at Wolverhampton last month. Not disgraced in two subsequent starts and still relatively low mileage so worth a second look in this weak contest.

Form: 556263

Caledonia Laird^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: J Hughes| OR: 55| D

5/1

Never been the easiest to predict but capable in this grade on his day and most recent win in May was gained off this mark.

Form: 566626

(4)

Gulland Rock^b⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 54| CD

9/2

Front-runner who is well drawn to attack. Bit better at Wolverhampton and though that form needs building on, he has won off higher marks in the past.

Form: 448973

Breathoffreshair^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Philip Prince⁽³⁾| T: R C Guest| OR: 52| D

7/2

Rattled off a hat-trick at Newcastle this time last year and a spell in the doldrums showed definite signs of a return to form when fourth of 12 there last time. That was over 6f but the extra trip here is fine and looks a player on that evidence.

Form: 399094

(10)

Gower Gold¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher| OR: 52

40/1

Lightly raced maiden who has shown little at sprint trips but shapes as though this extra furlong will be a plus and still early days after just five career starts.

Form: 9-4079

(9)

Canadian Royal^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 47

33/1

Bit better last time but is generally struggling since joining this yard from Stuart Williams and still a maiden after 19 runs.

Form: 590005

(6)

Arctic Flower²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 47| D

16/1

Four wins on the spin on soft ground at Lingfield in 2017 but has been badly out of sorts since than and hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 707750

(1)

Aye Aye Skipper^b⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 46| D

7/1

Often blows the start so his plum draw may work against him. Just one from 27 on the AW and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 522436

(13)

Suni Dancer²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

50/1

Landed two on the spin in 2016 off this mark but has been struggling for a while and best run this year was in a seller over 6f.

Form: 590739

(5)

Sir Lancelott⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 45| D

6/1

Rare AW run away from Wolverhampton. Has plenty of form there from this sort of mark and not without a chance if taking to this surface.

Form: 983347

(3)

Lisnamoyle Lady^b1,t1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Danny Brock| T: Martin Smith| OR: 45

33/1

No ability to date and first time tongue tie and blinkers need to have a dramatic effect to see her figure here.

Form: 0-6480

Forecasts

Breathoffreshair (7/2), Zahirah (4/1), Gulland Rock (9/2), Caledonia Laird (5/1), Sir Lancelott (6/1), Aye Aye Skipper (7/1), Bond Angel (14/1), Arctic Flower (16/1), Runaiocht (25/1), Canadian Royal (33/1), Lisnamoyle Lady (33/1), Gower Gold (40/1), Suni Dancer (50/1)

A weak affair and if BREATHOFFRESHAIR can build on his recent Newcastle run which represented a big step forward, he could prove the answer. Zahirah and Gulland Rock complete the short list.
