Surrey Warrior^b1¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 77

4/1

Gelding making handicap debut in first-time blinkers and step up nearly half a mile on his final start last term. May improve for the longer trip, and with yard in fine form very much enters calculations.

Form: 7225-

Lord Lamington²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75

2/1

Bolted up over extended 12f at Newcastle penultimate start and not disgraced back at 1m2f last time at Lingfield when done for speed. Step back up in trip makes sense but has to defy further 5lb rise.

Form: 736-412

(2)

Seeusoon⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 72

5/6

Got off the mark on third and final start last term when scrambling home by a head in Newcastle 1m4f maiden. Looks the type who will stay well, yard in fine form, and doesn't appear overburdened on handicap bow.

Form: 0-41

(3)

Tigray⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 68

16/1

Just one place from seven outings last term for Joseph O'Brien and makes debut for new yard stepping up 6f in trip. Pedigree doesn't scream stamina but shrewd stable well capable of improving other yard's cast-offs.

Form: 50-6702

Forecasts

Seeusoon (5/6), Lord Lamington (2/1), Surrey Warrior (4/1), Tigray (16/1)

An interesting heat and in the hope the blinkers have a positive effect top weight SURREY WARRIOR is the choice as he tackles this longer trip for the first time. This distance will suit Lord Lamington better than the shorter race at Lingfield last time, but with the stable in great form Seeusoon, on his handicap bow, may give the selection most to do.
