Highlife Flyer^t1⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: S R Bowring| OR: 65

20/1

Some promise in third start over 1m2f at Lingfield (turf) but tailed off in next two over 1m3½f and 2m. First start for this yard over a very different trip and on AW for first time so hard to know what to expect but best watched.

Form: 85377

Brigand⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 65

50/1

Consistent for William Haggas but beaten out of sight in all four starts for John Butler including three lasts in his last three starts. New yard takeover with mark now of some appeal but major turnaround required.

Form: 320000

Bold Spirit^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 63| CD

8/1

Dual C&D winner, the most recent back in March could only finish midfield here latest over the same trip but handicapper continues to assist and has place possibilities here.

Form: 700087

Duke Of Alba⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: J Mackie| OR: 63

17/2

Third in final start for Jamie Osborne (1m) undoubtedly his best run to date although beaten 6¾L. Gets 3lb back on stable/fibresand debut here so has genuine chance to get competitive and certainly a leading contender.

Form: 9-5593

Jabarout²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos| OR: 62| D

5/2

Won two of his last three, both over 7f on AW on polytrack and tapeta surfaces. 3lb higher now but arrives in easily the best form so if as effective on fibresand he looks the one they all have to beat.

Form: 875131

Chez Vegas^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 62

25/1

Doncaster maiden winner in 2016 has finished midfield here the last twice over 6f. More needed now in his first try over 7f and hasn't exactly leapt off the page as one wanting further.

Form: 15/6845

One More Chance¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 61| C

5/1

1m course winner here in January arguably ran best race since latest with same combination when fourth beaten 5¼L. Gets 2lb back here so possibilities from an each way perspective if as effective back at 7f.

Form: 388474

Grinty^p1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 60| D

8/1

14-race losing run and recent efforts switched to AW at Newcastle not compelling by any means. Turf form however better so some hope if as effective on this surface but others more compelling.

Form: 075300

Alpha Tauri¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 59| CD

14/1

Veteran has won all 11 of his career races here with wins stretching all the way back to 2011. Placed here again the last twice although beaten 8L and 7¼L. Only appeals for place purposes at present but sure to run his race.

Form: 668823

Tellovoi^p¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR: 57| CD

10/1

Three-time course winner (6f,7f,1m) a shock winner at Musselburgh in September and ran well next twice. Runs since suggest handicapper now has a grip however so others more appealing.

Form: 145057

Bee Machine^t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: D Carroll| OR: 56| BF| CD

8/1

C&D winner in August since won at Catterick over 7f so was a joint-favourite here latest but very disappointing as he faded into a remote sixth. Possible did too much too soon there out wide so fully expecting better now.

Form: 169516

Beadlam^p⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 55| D

33/1

Not really performed in three races this year and the latest after a layoff saw her 11th of 12 and beaten 18½L at Newcastle. May come on for that but has to be considered a very risky proposition.

Form: 358-860

(12)

Totally Magic¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 50| D

14/1

Not won since 2016 although has some fair form this year. Couple of fourths followed by latest seventh at Newcastle since return to AW which seems to be preferred but still only minor appeal.

Forecasts

Jabarout (5/2), One More Chance (5/1), Eponina (7/1), Grinty (8/1), Bee Machine (8/1), Bold Spirit (8/1), Duke Of Alba (17/2), Tellovoi (10/1), Totally Magic (14/1), Alpha Tauri (14/1), Highlife Flyer (20/1), Chez Vegas (25/1), Beadlam (33/1), Brigand (50/1)

In-form JABAROUT looks an improving sort at the end of his three-year-old year and can make it three wins in his last four starts by taking this. Eponina was third over 6f here latest and this previous 1m winner will undoubtedly be better suited by this extra 1f so she rates the biggest danger. Duke Of Alba registered a career best when last seen and starts out for a new yard here.
