Sash²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 82

7/2

Made odds-on and duly prevailed at Lingfield latest, his fourth start. Upped 2f for handicap debut and can improve further so has to be respected here.

Form: 226-1

Guildhall²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 78| BF

9/4

7f winner on heavy at two made a promising start to three-year-old/handicap career when third at Doncaster latest. Unknown commodity on fast ground but if he's as effective he ought to go well again.

Form: 314-3

(5)

Pytilia³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 77

8/1

Placed in first three starts before getting off the mark latest in a 1m Lingfield maiden (10/11F). Not sure he's done enough to warrant this mark but extra 2f could help.

Form: 322-1

(12)

The Pink'n¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: J W Mullins| OR: 77

20/1

Broke his maiden when winning over 1m1f on soft ground at Goodwood last October. Well held on return in a Windsor handicap however and that teamed with faster ground enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 661-5

Air Force Amy⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 75| BF

11/1

Promise of three two-year-old starts led to him being a 1/7F at Lingfield latest over 1m4f but he was headed late on. Perhaps this trip and turf may help but that effort was a huge disappointment given his odds.

Form: 323-2

Crackaway^p1¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 73

40/1

Showed hints in first three starts but poor effort latest and didn't really progress as you might have liked at two. Mark here looks plenty high enough.

Form: 4779-

Htilominlo^t⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: S Kirk| OR: 72

7/1

Son of Zoffany ran his best race to date latest when third of 10 at Kempton over 1m. Longer trip can help bring about improvement on handicap bow so not taken lightly here.

Form: 5-43

(9)

Mayfair Spirit^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 69| D

5/1

Hinted at improvement on return this season and confirmed that when gaining first win at Nottingham latest over this trip. Up 3lb but sure to go well even if vulnerable to handicap debutants.

Form: 4725-31

Purbeck Hills¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

16/1

Finished fourth in first two starts before being tailed off in stronger races in last two starts at two. This a drop in grade from opening handicap but hard to fancy having been 13th of 14.

Form: 440-0

Cromwell⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: L A Dace| OR: 62

33/1

Six-race maiden posted some decent efforts last year at up to 1m. Recent reappearance at Southwell over that trip was not encouraging and looks best watched at the moment.

Form: 75635-3

Forecasts

Guildhall (9/4), Sash (7/2), Mayfair Spirit (5/1), Dark Miracle (6/1), Htilominlo (7/1), Pytilia (8/1), Air Force Amy (11/1), Earl Of Harrow (14/1), Purbeck Hills (16/1), The Pink'n (20/1), Cromwell (33/1), Crackaway (40/1)

Although vulnerable to the less exposed sorts in this race a chance is taken on recent handicap winner MAYFAIR SPIRIT who looks to have been leniently treated with a 3lb rise for that win given he's still quite unexposed as a handicapper. Guildhall is a danger although this ground is an unknown for him and Htilominlo also looks the sort to do well now handicapping.
