66/1

Only beaten 2l despite finishing last of three on handicap debut at Lingfield in January, tried to make all but run out of it late. May improve with that under his belt but needs to given overall form.

Form: 279-3

8/1

Impressive 8l winner on debut at Goodwood last October (soft ground, well backed) but disappointing when trying to follow up, albeit in hot company. Given time to get over that and should improve again this year.

Form: 16-

Daafr^p¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89WS

14/1

Has plenty of experience under his belt already, winner at Newcastle (6f) last July and generally progressive after that. Returns from a break having had a wind operation, and given he went very close over this C&D in September, can go well.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 100

20/1

Winner on debut at Ascot last May, had a blip at Deauville in August but progressive in the main for the rest of the season. Should stay this far and likely to do better this season, so watch market for a clue as to whether he's ready to go.

100/1

Walked over at Lingfield last time but had shown little in two starts before that, and has a mountain to climb here.

Form: 95-1

Jahbath⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 102| CD

8/13

Improving quickly now and put previous winner Whenapoet to bed pretty impressively at Southwell last time out. Twice a C&D winner here too and with more improvement likely, looks the one to beat tonight.

Form: 211-1

Spanish Mission¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

6/1

Beat the useful Massam hollow at Chelmsford last November, seemingly benefiting from debut experience and the step up in trip. As such, drop back to a mile isn't necessarily a positive but has chances all the same.

Target Zone⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 83| CD

4/1

Getting the hang of things now and continued progression with a ready win over C&D last time out, coming clear late on. Should do better again but is stepping up in grade a bit here, so in truth needs to.

Form: 5-21

Forecasts

Jahbath (8/13), Target Zone (4/1), Rectory Road (5/1), Spanish Mission (6/1), Chairmanoftheboard (8/1), Creationist (12/1), Daafr (14/1), Getchagetchagetcha (20/1), Amplify (66/1), Greybychoice (100/1)

JAHBATH keeps impressing as he keeps winning and he looks a cut above this lot. He can take this on the way to better things. Getchagetchagetcha looks the danger on the figures but does have a bit to prove and might need this, so for those looking for each-way alternatives to the favourite, both Rectory Road and Daafr make plenty of appeal.
