Albert Finney¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 75| BF

6/4

Winner over an extended-mile at Wolverhampton in January and only narrowed denied this trip at Chelmsford next time. Possibly didn't see out 1m4f since at Wolverhampton (third) and should be challenging down in distance.

Form: 744-133

Lord Lamington⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64

6/4

Improved dramatically to win at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last week, coming in isolation and eased down. Appears to be well treated under his penalty, if replicating that effort now.

Form: 7736-41

Sarasota Star^h1⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Joey Haynes| T: M Keighley| OR: 69

16/1

Nothing strong in form of three maidens so far, hood is added for handicap debut and will have to improve plenty on the form shown so far.

Form: 56-7

(6)

Chinese Alphabet¹⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: W J Knight| OR: 68

5/1

Three starts in maidens, running best of those races here over a mile in September. Back from a break for handicap debut and has improvement to find tackling this new journey.

Form: 530-

Alramz¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Jones| T: L Carter| OR: 66

50/1

Failed to show much in three turf starts for John Gosden last year and has duly been moved on. Makes AW/handicap bow in debut for this yard and has plenty to work on it seems.

Form: 050-

Spirit Of Angel⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 60

12/1

Well held in trio of qualifying runs at Kempton, racing only over 7f/1m. Makes handicap debut over this longer trip and could have more to offer.

Form: 07-8

Forecasts

Albert Finney (6/4), Lord Lamington (6/4), Chinese Alphabet (5/1), Spirit Of Angel (12/1), Earl Of Harrow (14/1), Sarasota Star (16/1), Cromwell (16/1), Alramz (50/1)

Having taken a dramatic step forward in opening his account at Newcastle a week ago, LORD LAMINGTON will take some stopping under his penalty if in the same mood here and so earns the call. Albert Finney has been in good form lately and possibly just didn't see the trip out at Wolverhampton last time. He's the key danger on form. With plenty going handicapping for the first time, the betting will be informative but Spirit Of Angel looks the type to do better before long.
