The British Lion²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 70

25/1

Had looked to be just ticking over prior to his 7f Wolverhampton win for which he was well supported; all out to hold on though. Subsequently sold in February (11,000 guineas); first run for new yard off a 2lb higher mark.

Form: 5569-51

Tundra⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 70| C

20/1

Course winner (6f) under today's pilot off a 5lb lower mark in November, making use of a much reduced mark. Failed to build on that run in two subsequent starts off higher marks; hopes now pinned on being suited by a new trip (1m).

Form: 560159-

Evening Attire²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: W Stone| OR: 69

8/1

Front-runner who shaped better than his finishing position (penultimate start) after a slow start forced a change of tactics. Failed to build on that run last time but that did come in a better grade; interesting in this 0-70 pay grade.

Form: 8426-65

(9)

Harbour Vision¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 69| C

5/1

Dual course winner (7f); last successful here in January (first start for this yard) producing a career best. Backed on that run without winning when fourth in a 0-80 handicap last time, kept on well after a patient ride; tries a new trip.

Form: 0865-14

Miracle Garden^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68

7/1

Ran well off a long break; looked to be set up for a handicap next time out at Wolverhampton (6f). Never really fired on that outing and ran no sort of race last time upped to 7f; now given a try at 1m off a falling mark (has looked best at 7f).

Form: 253/7-48

(6)

Channel Packet^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| CD

7/1

Thriving towards the end of 2018 including winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in November he's come back with two very poor efforts over C&D off a break. Cheekpieces return in an effort to help; does run for an in-form yard.

Form: 1121-56

(5)

Zorawar⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67| BF

13/8

Ran with credit here on his last start over 2f further (beaten by a stronger stayer) in his bid for a hat-trick after scoring twice at Wolverhampton. Up 4lb from his defeat last time but still capable off this mark in his current vein of form.

Form: 50-5112

(3)

Tebay²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: E J Walsh| T: L McJannet| OR: 67

25/1

Lightly-raced sort who showed up well on his second handicap start (Redcar, 1m2f); now makes his AW debut after a break. May be better suited by this trip if he takes to the surface making his debut for a new yard; market informative.

Form: 553/74-

(1)

Dream Mount^b,e/s²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 62| D

10/1

Hasn't really sparkled since his wind surgery in three AW outings over 7f and now tries a different surface stepping up to 1m. Headgear worn the last twice (retained here) doesn't really appear to have brought about any improvement.

Form: 68704-9

(8)

The Special One^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55

20/1

Runs from just out of the handicap with the losing runs starting to build although she did show some promise over this C&D last time in a much lower grade. Faces a tougher task here though in a bid to break the losing streak.

Form: 90-4653

Forecasts

Zorawar (13/8), Harbour Vision (5/1), Channel Packet (7/1), Miracle Garden (7/1), Evening Attire (8/1), Dream Mount (10/1), The Special One (20/1), Tundra (20/1), The British Lion (25/1), Tebay (25/1)

A few that have chances here with ZORAWAR the pick of them despite failing to complete a hat-trick last time; he’ll appreciate the move back to this 1m and can regain the winning thread. Trainer Derek Shaw has his string back in decent form and that brings Harbour Vision into the equation although this dual course winner has to prove himself over this trip. Evening Attire would be of interest if he can get an easy lead as this is the right grade for him with The British Lion and Miracle Garden two others that enter the equation.
