Star Of Southwold²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 85

2/1

Better than ever when head second of 13 to Claire Underwood over C&D before turning the tables on that rival at Chelmsford. That form franked again since, and he has leading claims again.

Form: 54732-1

Dragon Mall^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: R Menzies| OR: 85

11/2

In decent heart for new yard, and had no chance against a well-ridden winner here last time. Ought to be on the premises again granted a decent pace.

Form: 2794-42

Sheberghan^p1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 83

9/4

Only three runs when trained by Dermot Weld in Ireland, landing a maiden at Sligo before finishing second in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal. Good third on debut for new yard at Lingfield, and solid claims if cheekpieces can eke out more.

Form: 712-3

Guvenor's Choice^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| CD

8/1

Fourth to Michele Strogoff over C&D in December his best recent effort, but more needed, and he has been below his best in two subsequent starts.

Form: 24246-4

Scofflaw⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: E J Walsh| T: P D Evans| OR: 80| BF

11/2

Had subsequent winners behind when scoring at Chelmsford in a first-time visor, and good effort over 7f there next time. Just a respectable run at Kempton last time, however, and needs to raise his game again.

Form: 172-134

Forecasts

Star Of Southwold (2/1), Sheberghan (9/4), Dragon Mall (11/2), Scofflaw (11/2), Guvenor's Choice (8/1)

STAR OF SOUTHWALD had his latest win boosted when old rival Claire Underwood scored at Newcastle recently, and he can maintain his good run ahead of Sheberghan, who is unexposed but may find this trip a tad sharp. Dragon Mall chased home Michele Strogoff here last time, and should also thrown down a challenge.
