Clovelly Bay²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 55| D

8/1

Just two wins from 33 starts, the last of which came in December 2016. Dropping down to a very good mark and does have form over this C&D but others look more reliable.

Form: 065749-

Creative Talent²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| BF

8/1

Close up efforts the last twice over shorter and step up in trip (stays two miles) a positive. Place possibilities on that form but just one win in 31 starts.

Form: 330024-

Iona Island^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jean-Rene Auvray| OR: 52

66/1

Sole win came off 7lb higher but form has badly regressed since then and well beaten in all five start for latest stable. Remains one to overlook.

Form: 408/680-

(5)

Ember's Glow²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: E J Walsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52| D

6/1

Has been generally consistent in his recent starts since joining this yard and broke his maiden tag in impressive style at Wolverhampton. Acts here and 4lb rise unlikely to stop him if reproducing the run.

Form: 427831-

Singing The Blues²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: B R Millman| OR: 53

11/4

Yet to place in six starts but wasn't far away with a career-best at Wolverhampton. Open to further progress but concern he hasn't convinced in two previous visits here.

Form: 977855-

Cosmogyral^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 53

7/1

10-race maiden who has gone close on a couple of occasions at Wolverhampton but has looked a tricky ride in the process. Fibresand a valid excuse last time but needs to show he's as suited by this track.

Form: 420225-

(6)

River Cafe^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52

50/1

Remains a maiden after 16 starts and remains best watched after her last two runs including last month's tailed off effort on stable debut .

Form: 226290-

(1)

Telekinetic³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 51

28/1

Some moderate progress on her fourth start but still beaten 13 lengths and will need to find vast improvement on this handicap debut.

Form: 583-

(14)

Demophon¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: S Flook| OR: 47

8/1

13-race maiden hasn't been far away the last twice, including over this C&D and reduced a further 1lb, however has looked as though he needs a further test than this.

Form: 42504-4

(10)

Millie May⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Fahy| T: J C Fox| OR: 47| D

25/1

Had shown nothing in her first eight starts before causing a shock at Lingfield. Only up 2lb but that looked a weak contest and this will require more.

Form: 0/08971-

(12)

Captain Kissinger^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: J Hughes| OR: 50

33/1

Won at long odds over hurdles but failed to back that up in that sphere and was well beaten back on the Flat last start. Others preferred.

Form: 50453-0

(7)

Murhib^h¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 45

9/1

Maiden after eight starts who seemingly improved in first-time hood two runs back but headgear appeared not to have the same effect here last time. Cheekpieces now tried and questions to answer.

Form: 8/0603-8

(2)

Mistress Nellie^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 45

8/1

14-race maiden who would have every chance on the bare form of her latest third over this C&D, however showed there she is a very difficult ride and remains inconsistent.

Form: 97736-3

Forecasts

Singing The Blues (11/4), Ember's Glow (6/1), Cosmogyral (7/1), Sheldon Cooper (7/1), Creative Talent (8/1), Clovelly Bay (8/1), Demophon (8/1), Mistress Nellie (8/1), Murhib (9/1), Millie May (25/1), Telekinetic (28/1), Captain Kissinger (33/1), River Cafe (50/1), Iona Island (66/1)

EMBER'S GLOW was impressive in his breakthrough win and he should get another strong pace that brings the best out in him. Sheldon Cooper was one to note last time and may have more to offer for this stable while Demopohon probably needs further but will be staying on late and can place.
