Philamundo^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 82| C

7/2

Very impressive when bolting up here over 1m last month and may not have handled the track at Lingfield in follow-up bid. Bounced back with another smart effort here last time and 6lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him down in trip.

Form: 4/36-191

Sword Exceed³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Dayverson De Barros| T: I Furtado| OR: 79| D

11/1

All three wins have come on Polytrack at Lingfield to date but has been struggling at that course in recent starts. Handicapper trying to give him a chance with further relief but looks a risky proposition at present.

Glory Awaits^b⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 77| C| D

6/1

Won three times over 1m here last year and finds himself back on a workable mark after some below par runs towards the back end of 2018. Respectable effort when 3L behind Philamundo last time but hard to envisage him reversing that form.

Form: 3564-83

Field Gun^t1¹⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 76| BF| C

5/2

Won a 6f novice event on his second career start here in August but he's been a beaten favourite on three subsequent outings, including when only fourth of 12 here last time. First-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces and less exposed than most.

Form: 21224-

It Must Be Faith^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 73| C

66/1

Won twice on AW last season but showed very little on his return from a significant absence last time and has never won over further than 6f.

Form: 71314-9

(5)

Harbour Vision⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 69| CD

7/2

Gained a second C&D win here last week on first start for this yard. 3lb rise is perfectly fair for that and expected to run well again with the prospect of him coming on for that run.

Form: 4/0865-1

(3)

Cape Greco¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 63| BF| D

9/2

Has been in fine form on AW this winter and only narrowly denied in a hat-trick bid at Kempton last time out. That form has a solid look about it and can't be discounted back in trip provided the 4lb rise in the weights doesn't catch him out.

Form: 7231-13

Forecasts

Field Gun (5/2), Philamundo (7/2), Harbour Vision (7/2), Cape Greco (9/2), Glory Awaits (6/1), Sword Exceed (11/1), It Must Be Faith (66/1)

PHILAMUNDO has shown a liking for this course and won going away when winning in impressive fashion last time out. Cape Greco is an obvious danger given the form he's been in this winter and Harbour Vision gained another course and distance win last time out. He may come on for that first start in 109-days.
