Croeso Cymraeg¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: H J Evans| OR: 41

25/1

Only beat one rival in three starts for John Spearing but improved and shaped with much more promise on stable and fibresand debut. Different surface to contend with but open to further progress.

Form: 9864-

(10)

Far Cry¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 50

16/1

Best effort since bumper debut when keeping on off a strong pace over 1m2f at Chelmsford on handicap debut and then ran to a similar level over this C&D. Unsuited there by a slow tempo up front and should have more to offer.

Form: 7084-6

(2)

Gorham's Cave^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: A Stronge| OR: 50

11/2

11-race maiden who has finished strongly over this C&D the last twice including off an unsuitable slow pace last time. Doesn't look the easiest of rides but should have more to offer at this trip.

Form: 66896-2

(13)

Red Cossack¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 49| C

13/2

Not won since 2015 and missed most of 2018 until three moderate runs for new yard. Best form has come over shorter and step up in trip doesn't look a positive.

Form: 070/85-5

(1)

Seventii^p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 50

14/1

Just one win from 21 starts and losing run is mounting up. Course debut and unplaced in six AW starts. Very well beaten on her last three runs and hard to make a case for at present.

Form: 462809-

(6)

Solitary Sister³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: John Berry| OR: 45

14/1

!0-race maiden who returned from a 428-day absence to show some promise on stable debut when not getting a clear run. May be suited by further step up in trip and one to keep an eye on.

Form: 53456/6-

(11)

Tilsworth Rose¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 35

100/1

Well beaten in all four starts so far and although bred to be suited by this step up in trip, she needs to find vast improvement to feature.

Form: 0069-

(8)

Don't Do It^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 50

9/2

Remains a maiden after 16 starts but has shown plenty of promise in two of three starts for new yard. Unsuited by fibresand on the other occasion and shaped last time as though this trip will suit. Likely to go close.

Form: 93246-2

(9)

Drifting Star^t1,v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 43

66/1

Nicely bred but beaten 35L and 30L in two starts for Sir Michael Stoute in May and June and then no improvement following an absence in two runs for new yard. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 980-0

(4)

Falls Creek^b1³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 35

25/1

Street Cry filly that cost €200,000 as a yearling but very well beaten in all three starts so far. First-time blinkers added and remains best watched.

Form: 508-

(14)

Harry Callahan^v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 50

11/2

Eight-race maiden racing to a consistent level but first-time visor needs to extract further improvement to be involved. Stable in form but others appeal more.

Form: 0/8807-7

(12)

Passing Clouds¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 44

40/1

Yet to show enough in 14 starts and isn't moving in the right direction. Step up in trip a further query and remains best watched.

Form: 000558-

(5)

Top Rock Talula¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 46

5/1

Well beaten in first four starts on the Flat before being sent over hurdles for Kenny Johnson and latest yard. Not beaten far on return to the Flat over this C&D (Gorham's Cave second) but got run of things in front and may need further in time.

Form: 0058-4

(7)

Alate¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 49

10/1

Has shown nothing in four starts to date. Typically bred to improve as she steps up in trip for this stable who are hitting form. Market likely to prove best guide.

Form: 0008-

Forecasts

Don't Do It (9/2), Top Rock Talula (5/1), Harry Callahan (11/2), Gorham's Cave (11/2), Red Cossack (13/2), Alate (10/1), Solitary Sister (14/1), Seventii (14/1), Far Cry (16/1), Croeso Cymraeg (25/1), Falls Creek (25/1), Passing Clouds (40/1), Drifting Star (66/1), Tilsworth Rose (100/1)

Gorham's Cave and Far Cry both ran on well off a slow pace over this C&D and look likely to be competitive. DON'T DO IT has threatened to gain a first success for his new yard and gets a narrow verdict over a distance that can bring further improvement.
