Classy Cailin²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52

6/1

Six-race maiden ran her best race to date over C&D two starts back when a staying on third. Failed to build on that since however when down the field in a similar contest so rates a risky proposition overall.

Form: 4960-38

Admirable Art²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| BF| CD

7/2

Three-time course (two C&D) winner arrives in good form after a C&D third followed by a 7f Kempton second off this mark. Form is certainly among the strongest and looks to have leading claims here.

Form: 44683-2

Secret Glance^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: S Donohoe| T: A Wintle| OR: 46| D

9/4

Sparingly raced these days having run just five times since summer 2017 but ran best race for some time latest when third at Lingfield. None from 23 overall on AW so hard to be confident but latest form would give him a chance.

Form: 00/707-3

Rapid Rise^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J M Bradley| OR: 46

8/1

Still a maiden after 33 Flat runs despite going close to breaking that record when recording a 50-1 second at Kempton latest. Only placed once in nine starts here however so plenty of reasons to look elsewhere.

Form: 97560-2

Be Bold^b²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 45| D

5/1

Won off a 9lb higher mark than this in the summer on turf but AW record (0-18) less compelling. Latest reappearance saw him far too keen so that run can be forgiven. Hard to think he won't go well here.

Form: 53366-5

Moonbi Creek¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45| CD

14/1

Not won since 2015 and after a 764 day absence he is unplaced in seven. Lowly mark now but seems a shadow of his former self unfortunately.

Form: 5975-05

Tasaaboq^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45| C

12/1

Four from 78 record tells a tale and after winning here over 6f in May he has been unplaced in seven subsequent starts. The sort to spring occasional shocks but very hard to be confident in.

Form: 6897-97

Secret Glance (9/4), Admirable Art (7/2), Be Bold (5/1), Classy Cailin (6/1), Rapid Rise (8/1), Ainne (10/1), Tasaaboq (12/1), Moonbi Creek (14/1), More Salutes (20/1)

ADMIRABLE ART is a consistent sort who clearly enjoys it here and arrives in the best form of any of these so looks the one to side with in a race with doubts aplenty about most of his rivals. Be Bold is a better turf performer but surely good enough to go well off such a lowly mark here. Rapid Rise ran well enough latest to go close although his 0-33 record tempers enthusiasm.
