Bawaader

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E A L Dunlop

20/1

Full-brother to 1m winner North Wedge, and cost 270,000 as a 2-y-o. This belated debut suggests he's had his issues, however, and probably best watched on debut.

Lovely Approach^h1³⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Palmer

20/1

Dam won UAE 1000 Guineas, and he shaped well enough on debut at Newcastle a year ago. Failed to build on that initial promise when last seen, and returns from a lengthy break. Wears a hood now, and market will be useful.

Form: 20-

Noel

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: F Sweeney| T: D & C Kubler

50/1

By Requinto out of an unraced mare, and another making a rather belated debut. Yard's newcomers invariably need experience.

Barossa Red³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

5/1

Has shown ability on all four starts, going down by the narrowest of margins in a 7f novice at Southwell on return. Should give another solid account.

Form: 320-2

Georgearthurhenry⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: George Wood| T: Miss A Murphy

100/1

Has beaten just one home on each start to date, and will surely find weaker openings than this. No appeal.

Form: 89

Kinver Edge³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: C Appleby| BF

3/1

Cost €350,000 as a yearling and has shaped with promise on both runs despite failing to justify very short odds at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) last time. Probably caught a tartar there, and the one to beat on with a repeat.

Form: 42

White Coat⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R L Moore| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80| BF

1/2

Beaten favourite on last two starts, albeit showing fairly useful form, and went under only narrowly when third at Kempton last time, a tendency to hang not helping. Can have no excuses here.

Form: 02-3

(5)

Love Explodes

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: E F Vaughan

12/1

Champs Elysees half-sister to smart 6f-1m winner Furrion and 1¼m winner Open The Red. Entitled to need the experience on debut, but worthy a cursory market check.

Forecasts

White Coat (1/2), Kinver Edge (3/1), Barossa Red (5/1), Love Explodes (12/1), Lovely Approach (20/1), Bawaader (20/1), Noel (50/1), Georgearthurhenry (100/1)

KINVER EDGE and White Coat hold the strongest claims despite the pair being beaten favourite on their most recent outings. The former ran into a superbly bred improver at Wolverhampton, and can beat his more experienced rival if learning at all from that run. Barossa Red is clear best of the remainder.
