Time To Reason^p⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: R Kingscote| T: C Wallis| OR: 66| C

8/1

Won twice over 7f in younger days in Ireland but was on a long losing run in Britian prior to scoring here over 5f in February. Went close over C&D last time off 2lb higher mark. High draw may be a concern though.

Form: 32-6313

Global Exceed^v1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 66| D

12/1

Landed two sprint handicaps for Ed Dunlop in 2017 but patchy form in four outings since joining current yard in February. Wears first-time visor after a poor run last time over 7f. Top apprentice booking is noteworthy.

Form: 73-3437

Nautical Haven¹²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: T P Queally| T: J & S Best| OR: 65| D

6/1

Only win in 19 starts came as a juvenile at York when trained by Kevin Ryan. Regressive form last term for current handler and has tumbled down the weights. Returns from four-month break and will do well to figure.

Desert Fox¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 65| CD

7/1

Both wins came over C&D in early-2018. Hasn't shown much since and returns following 161-day break off 3lb lower than last modest effort at Wolverhampton. Well handicapped on pick of old form but looks a risky proposition.

Form: 2D7699-

Evening Attire²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 64| D

4/1

Drops to this trip for first time since winning at Leicester in October 2016 and has been campaigned at up to a mile since then. Fair third there latest (7f), eased 2lb and has 5lb claimer on board this time. May not be far away.

Form: 6-65063

Zefferino^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 62

16/1

Landed 7f maiden for Roger Charlton two years ago but has been mainly disappointing since and dropped down the handicap. Signs of a return to form when keeping on into 4th at Lingfield 7f latest, but not certain drop in trip is ideal.

Form: 4960-54

(3)

Diva Star^t¹⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Spencer| T: Rae Guest| OR: 61

10/1

Bits and pieces of form in nine starts at up to a mile for Marcus Tregoning but remains a maiden. Makes debut for new connections, eased 3lb and drops in trip. Good jockey having first ride for this yard.

Form: 7/626U5-

Spenny's Lass^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: B Doyle| T: J Ryan| OR: 59| D

8/1

Only success in 22 starts came over this trip at Wolverhampton in September off 3lb lower mark. Went close here on penultimate start though and is in fair form.

Form: 4-96823

Admiral Rooke^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| BF| C

9/1

Got off the mark at the 28th time of asking when landing 5f h'cap here on penultimate start. Free going sort who faded last 100 yards when beaten a length over C&D last time and suspicion minimum trip is his optimum.

Form: 062515

Daring Guest^b,t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Tom Clover| OR: 56| D

8/1

All three career wins came for George Margarson at up to 7f, and although placed many times for current connections has proven very hard to win with despite fall in his rating. Failed by only a nose though last time off 1lb lower mark.

Form: 2-33832

(9)

Mystical Moon⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 54| CD

16/1

Won over C&D off mark of just 45 last month, then followed up off 6lb higher at Wolverhampton. Poor effort last time back on turf at Doncaster and no surprise to see connections revert to this surface. Yard has 13% strike rate here.

Form: 661150

Charlie Alpha^b⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 45

33/1

Still a maiden after 14 attempts but has gone very close on two most recent attempts over C&D, beaten in photo finishes each time. Poor effort latest though over 5f. 1lb out of the handicap.

Form: 947-390

Lambrini Lullaby⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

66/1

Handicap bow on sixth start for Captain Gerrard filly who has shown precious little to date and runs here from 1lb wrong at the weights.

Form: 57-958

Forecasts

Evening Attire (4/1), Nautical Haven (6/1), Desert Fox (7/1), Daring Guest (8/1), Spenny's Lass (8/1), Time To Reason (8/1), Admiral Rooke (9/1), Diva Star (10/1), Global Exceed (12/1), Canimar (14/1), Mystical Moon (16/1), Zefferino (16/1), Charlie Alpha (33/1), Lambrini Lullaby (66/1)

EVENING ATTIRE is a tentative choice in a race of generally disappointing performers. The drop back in trip may be just what he has been looking for. Among a host of runners with a squeak on their best form are Time To Reason, Diva Star, Spenny's Lass, and Daring Guest, while the booking of young Ceiren Fallon catches the eye for Global Exceed, who has the visor on for the first time..
