Goodbye Dancer⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 131

9/1

Has shaped well enough this term although not seen to best effect in a falsely-run race at Haydock latest. Big field here promises a more true test and can now get involved with 2lb ease.

Form: P1/0368

Supremely Lucky⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 128

9/2

Stiff tasks in graded company since scoring at Southwell but better when sent to a handicap latest where he managed a fair fourth. Longer trip here can suit (won over 3m) and not ruled out.

Form: 1-41444

Printing Dollars¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen⁽³⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 128| C

3/1

Won three of five to date under rules culminating in handicap success at Exeter latest where she won with any amount in hand. Upped 11lb for that but suspect that will do little to halt her and highly respected here.

Form: 1-12211

Ocean Cove^p1⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 126

11/2

Winner at Ayr last year but often looks hard work in his races, stuck to the task well enough to finish third over C&D latest but others appeal as better handicapped.

Form: 321-933

Newtide⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 125

5/1

Haydock winner stayed on in taking fashion in first handicap over 2m7½f at Ascot latest. Looked the sort to improve dramatically now upped in trip and therefore has to be rated a leading contender.

Form: 2/413

Envol De La Cour⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 124

25/1

Dual French chase winner at up to 2m4f. Improved second start over hurdles and now goes up almost 1m in distance. Hard to know whether he will stay but latest trip did look too sharp.

Form: 11-4174

Sizing Cusimano⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 123

5/1

Form figures reveal two sides to him but his victory on penultimate start would give him a chance. Pulled up since and now faces a new trip altogether but respected given connections.

Form: 215P1P

Whitley Neill^p,t¹²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 122WS

14/1

Some improvement when stepped up in trip last time at Chepstow. Not without a chance on pick of his form but four-month absence raises questions.

Form: 0/1-4334

Southfield Royale³⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: N de Boinville| T: M Bradstock| OR: 122

14/1

Disappointing in three starts since finishing runner-up over C&D on heavy ground in December 2017. Remote 12th of 15 at Haydock when last seen suggested something amiss and long absence since a doubt.

Form: PP2460-

Max Forte^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 116

16/1

20L sixth to Printing Dollars latest at Exeter and although significantly better off he can't be fancied against that rival.

Form: 150876

Moidore⁷⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: C T Pogson| OR: 103

50/1

Tailed off on seasonal reappearance in December over 2m7½f at Uttoxeter and almost three years now since last win. Of little appeal here.

Form: 6P2U4-9

Forecasts

Printing Dollars (3/1), Supremely Lucky (9/2), Newtide (5/1), Sizing Cusimano (5/1), Ocean Cove (11/2), The Welsh Paddies (15/2), Goodbye Dancer (9/1), Nearly Perfect (10/1), Whitley Neill (14/1), Southfield Royale (14/1), Max Forte (16/1), Envol De La Cour (25/1), Bryden Boy (25/1), Perfect Summer (25/1), Moidore (50/1)

NEWTIDE looked to be crying out for such a test latest and went into the notebook for such a contest so he has to be the selection now upped 2½f. Printing Dollars may well go off favourite and she certainly merits respect after absolutely running away with a competitive handicap latest. The Welsh Paddies is another shortlisted after showing stamina to be his trump card latest when winning at Huntingdon.
