Mr Tyrrell²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

5/1

Regularly placed and consistent but remains frustratingly a 19-race maiden. In career-best form when last seen in June and absence to overcome on ground that may be slower than ideal.

Form: 023243-

Uther Pendragon^p¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J S Moore| OR: 76| D

12/1

Well placed to win at Amiens last year but struggled back in a warm handicap at Kempton in December. Gets a significant drop in class but would need plenty of rain to be at his best.

Form: 300145-

(6)

High Acclaim^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R A Teal| OR: 75| D

7/2

Infrequent winner but sprang a surprise in the Spring Mile last March off 6lb higher. Better at Wolverhampton last start and possibilities down in grade. Any rain would be a plus.

Form: 97-4472

(5)

Hackbridge^v³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 73

10/1

Progressive on the AW this winter and his neck second at Kempton showed he isn't just a Lingfield specialist. Likely to be involved again if handling this different surface on turf debut.

Form: 0114-22

The Warrior^b¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: L Carter| OR: 71| D

14/1

Just three wins from 57 starts and 2lb lower than the last of them. Proving consistent without winning for new stable and place possibilities again.

Form: 68-3565

Mr Mac³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: P Hedger| OR: 71| D

7/1

Disappointed up to this grade at Lingfield last month and although lightly-raced back on turf, is looking held by the handicapper currently.

Form: 161-129

(4)

Nezar¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 71| C

4/1

Down a further 2lb and starting to look well handicapped on his best form, however needs to raise his game on recent efforts and questionable up in trip.

Form: 003-748

(12)

Gainsay²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 69| D

17/2

Posted a career-best when winning with a bit in hand on the AW at Lingfield. Could kick on again back on turf but would prefer fast ground.

Form: 43728-1

(7)

Duke Of North¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 63| D

16/1

Back-to-back winner at Epsom last July but can be very slowly away and disappointing last twice including on reappearance. Others preferred.

Form: 56350-7

(2)

Cuttin' Edge^b1¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 60| D

11/1

Lightly-raced and an AW winner off 2lb higher last November. Unexposed back on turf but not running to same level since win and others look stronger candidates.

Form: 416-485

Anif¹³

Weight: 9-1| Age: 5

T: P D Evans J: Non Runner

(3)

Love And Be Loved¹⁸²

Weight: 9-0| Age: 5

T: J L Flint J: Daniel Muscutt

Forecasts

Anif (3/1), High Acclaim (7/2), Nezar (4/1), Mr Tyrrell (5/1), Mr Mac (7/1), Love And Be Loved (8/1), Gainsay (17/2), Hackbridge (10/1), Cuttin' Edge (11/1), Uther Pendragon (12/1), The Warrior (14/1), Duke Of North (16/1)

High Acclaim is hard to win with but is respected down in class. He in contrast to Gainsay would like some rain to give some ease in the ground while a chance is taken that the improving HACKBRIDGE will take to turf at the first time of asking.
