Kingfast¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: David Dennis| OR: 50

Amity Island⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 50

14/1

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis| T: L Bailey| OR: 49| BF

20/1

Won a maiden for Luca Cumani back in 2015 but without a success since. Has form at the track and can go well fresh, so place potential on stable debut.

23-race maiden who lost her way last year but has returned with two eye-catching efforts when caught wide twice here. Needs a stronger pace to aim at and given a chance off 2lb lower.

Form: 4000-25

Forecasts

Ubla (7/2), Final Attack (9/2), Lady Of Authority (11/2), False Id (9/1), Kingfast (11/1), Herm (11/1), Sea Shack (12/1), Captain Kissinger (14/1), Amity Island (14/1), Prerogative (16/1), Optima Petamus (20/1), Zarkavon (40/1), Blue Rocks (40/1)

Ubla has every chance of following up his recent success here where he shaped as though the extra distance shouldn't be an issue. False Id will appreciate a return to this course and is on a winnable mark. ZARKAVON is a longstanding maiden but considering that her previous efforts had been poor, something really seems to have clicked in two much improved runs this year and a win may not be far away.
