Amity Island^b1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 47

6/1

Well beaten in recent starts in handicap company. Has a difficult task on these terms and first-time blinkers need to have a galvanising effect.

Form: 76-5507

(6)

Lone Voice³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: B A Curtis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 43

12/1

Maiden after 11 starts and last two efforts on the AW have been underwhelming. Plenty to do if he is to make any sort of impact.

Form: 8785-08

(1)

Prince Consort^p,h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

80/1

Has failed to hit the frame in 18 starts. Needs to find dramatic improvement from somewhere, but that seems most unlikely.

Form: 9-66068

(2)

Mandarin Princess³⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 50

33/1

Failed to reach the frame in eight starts when trained by Philip McBride. Sets out for a new stable and the change of scenery will need to have been beneficial.

Form: 50/8585-

(9)

Al Mortajaz¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 64

9/1

Showed decent form as a juvenile, but has been regressive this year and first run for this yard saw him finish last of 13 over 1m at this track. Has the ability to figure, but current form is a worry.

Form: 50-0080

(4)

Half Full¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rachel Richardson| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 47

8/1

Low level of form in five starts, four of them on he AW. Has hinted at ability and this is a weak race, but others have more compelling claims.

Form: 08-987

(5)

Our Boy Zeus^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 18

50/1

Has failed to beat a rival in four starts over a variety of distances, latterly at Wetherby last month. Needs to make huge improvement for the application of cheekpieces.

Form: 090-0

(10)

Zoom Out^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50

6/1

Little impact in maiden, novice and handicap company over 7f and 1m. Steps up in distance and is one of several in this race with plenty to prove.

Form: 057709

(8)

Izvestia^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 85

4/7

Not at her best on her last three starts in France and Sweden, but last summer's form from 7f to 1m was fine and puts her some way in advance of her rivals providing she retains that ability. Cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

Form: 31318-0

Last Glance¹²⁸

Weight: 9-10| Age: 4

T: Miss Tracy Waggott J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Izvestia (4/7), Amity Island (6/1), Zoom Out (6/1), Half Full (8/1), Al Mortajaz (9/1), Lone Voice (12/1), Mandarin Princess (33/1), Our Boy Zeus (50/1), Last Glance (50/1), Prince Consort (80/1)

Official ratings suggest this should be at the mercy of IZVESTIA, who was below par on her reappearance in France but looks to have plenty in hand over some moderate rivals assuming her ability is intact. Al Mortajaz should be the main danger if he can find something approaching his best form, while minor honorus may go to Half Full.
