Couldn't Could She¹⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A West| OR: 60| D

16/1

Now 2lb below last win but has been suited by fast ground on turf. Proved regressive in final five starts last year and probably best watched on season reappearance.

Form: 270508-

Camile⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 59| BF| D

11/4

Dual purpose performer in Ireland with Joseph O'Brien and made a winning start for this stable over hurdles at Ayr. Disappointed back on the Flat on AW debut but well suited by these conditions and could bounce back.

Form: 11442-8

Baron Run¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁸⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 57| D

7/1

Ended a losing run dating back to 2014 when winning at Southwell (AW) in February. Has held that form since and now back to winning grade on switch to turf. Handles cut in the ground and likely to be competitive again.

Form: 213342

Snooker Jim^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Toby Eley⁽³⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 54

9/1

Remains a maiden following 10 starts but has raced to a consistent level in three AW runs since gelding operation. More needed now on switch back to the turf and others look stronger candidates.

Form: 7865-66

(10)

Sea Shack^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 53

9/1

Sole win from 27 starts came as a juvenile back in 2016 and number of near misses starting to add up for new yard this year. Proving consistent though and likely to be competitive again returning to turf although wouldn't want it too soft.

Form: 293334

Medici Moon^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Robert Dodsworth| T: R J Price| OR: 52| D

20/1

All three wins have come on the AW and just one third from seven starts on turf so far. Again failed to back up Wolverhampton win when disappointing at Leicester and best turf run came on quick ground. Others preferred.

Form: 000-810

(7)

Bee Machine^t⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Zak Wheatley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 52

8/1

Both turf wins have come with juice in the ground and 2lb higher than the last of them. Below par at Southwell last twice (well beaten by Baron Run latest) and yet to convince at this far.

Form: 650-239

(15)

Break The Silence^b⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Erika Parkinson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| D

7/1

Losing run is starting to add up but has fallen 2lb below his last winning mark and the conditions suit well. Not disgraced on last three starts (including a 3l fourth to Baron Run) and place possibilities back on turf.

Form: 547433

Aljunood⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Ella McCain⁽³⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 51| D

16/1

Modest sort who is often handicapped by his free-going nature and needs to settle better to be of real interest. Handles soft but poor on last three starts and easy to overlook.

Form: 70-3090

(8)

Sir Jamie³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁸⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| D

16/1

Has three AW wins to his name but yet to score in 10 starts on turf. Wouldn't want any further rain and still 3lb higher than his last win. Proving inconsistent of late and others look more reliable.

Form: 4-97027

(16)

Highwayman⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Russell Harris⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 47| D

12/1

Just two wins from 38 starts and on a poor run of form this year. Last win came in June last year on soft ground and now 5lb lower. Conditions are fine but needs to raise his game.

Form: 549986

Lukoutoldmakezebak^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 46| D

12/1

Dual AW winner in February last year but that's it as far as wins go from 32 starts (16 on turf). At least comes here in some form from the AW but hasn't appreciated juice in the ground previously.

Form: 59-3244

Forecasts

Camile (11/4), Break The Silence (7/1), Baron Run (7/1), Bee Machine (8/1), Snooker Jim (9/1), Sea Shack (9/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (12/1), Highwayman (12/1), Bidding War (12/1), Spiritual Star (14/1), Moretti (14/1), Couldn't Could She (16/1), Aljunood (16/1), Sir Jamie (16/1), Medici Moon (20/1), Mystical Mac (20/1), God Willing (25/1)

Camile perhaps didn't take to the AW and this ground is likely to prove far more suitable in a weak race. BARON RUN is an infrequent winner but he's in form and back down to the same grade he won in back in February. Sea Shack is at least consistent and should be vying for a place again.
