Ascot Week^v⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 65

15/2

Putting in some consistent performances of late although remains 3lb higher than last win. Seems better suited by a mile but stays and likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: 8616-44

Move In Faster²⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 65

14/1

Gelded son of Monsieur Bond and a full-brother to Group 1 winning sprinter Move In Time. Shaped with promise on last two of just three starts last year but this trip poses a question on breeding.

Form: 325-

Rebel Cause²⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: R Ffrench| T: J R Holt| OR: 65

20/1

Yet to add to AW maiden win in May 2016 when trained by Richard Spencer. Regressed at the end of last year and although dropped in grade is best watched on season reappearance.

Form: 8/64347-

Thorntoun Care¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: K Tutty| OR: 65| D

8/1

Has tended to need his reappearance so should be fitter for last month's Beverley run and down in grade. Now 2lb below last winning mark. Suited by the conditions and could be competitive.

Form: 50340-5

Pinchpoint^h²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: J Butler| OR: 64

33/1

Four-race maiden showed some promise on his first two starts last year but disappointed the next twice including on handicap debut. More needed but bred to do better with time and on this step up in trip.

Form: 4460-

Lucy's Law⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: T P Tate| OR: 63

12/1

Sole win came in a nursery on Tapeta at Newcastle back in September 2016. Disappointed on reappearance and gets a welcome drop in grade but concern that there have been breaks between her previous two starts and a bit to prove.

Form: 2433/6-7

Apache Blaze²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 63| D

7/2

Went close at Chelmsford (AW) and Doncaster in March but proved most disappointing at Lingfield last month and needs to bounce back quickly. Back on last winning mark though and rain would be a bonus.

Captain Pugwash^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L P Keniry| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 63| D

16/1

Now 8lb below last winning mark but yet to add three career wins for current yard. Proving inconsistent and tailed off on latest Haydock start. Down in grade but hard to be confident in.

Form: 893640

Mr Coco Bean²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: T D Barron| OR: 62| D

9/4

On a hat-trick following a January win on the fibresand and following up back on the turf over this trip at Redcar. Up another 3lb but turf mark still remains 4lb than that on the AW and could have more to offer still. Leading hope.

Form: 0330-11

Seaborough^p1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: D Thompson| OR: 62

9/1

Now 2lb lower than sole win for Alan King and left first two runs for new yard behind when an unlucky third over this trip at Redcar. Therefore his latest run was very disappointing and has questions to answer.

Form: 6-57835

Forecasts

Mr Coco Bean (9/4), Apache Blaze (7/2), Ascot Week (15/2), Thorntoun Care (8/1), Seaborough (9/1), Lucy's Law (12/1), Move In Faster (14/1), Captain Pugwash (16/1), Rebel Cause (20/1), Duke Of Yorkshire (25/1), Pinchpoint (33/1)

Ascot Week is a reliable and consistent performer and in a race like this, with his rivals having a number of holes in their form, that remains a clear positive. MR COCO BEAN is bang in form and can land three in a row off this lower turf mark. Thorntoun Care is also well handicapped and should be fitter now.
