De Bruyne Horse^p,t¹³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 72

20/1

Last win came in a Listed race in France almost two years ago but has been in decline since then; now on a handy mark in comparison but plenty to prove on debut for another new yard.

Fortune And Glory¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tuite| OR: 70| D

10/1

Enjoyed a profitable spell last season and still possible he has more to offer. Versatile regarding the ground too, worth bearing in mind.

Connaught Ranger²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: D J Coakley| OR: 69| D

25/1

Dropped to a handy mark but form has taken a dip; needs to bounce back from a handful of moderate performances.

Form: 513/08-8

Sir Roderic¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| BF| D

3/1

Hints of a return to form in his last two starts and should cope with the step up in trip. Has a choice of entries this week so noteworthy he comes here. One to monitor closely in the betting.

Form: 3740-34

Geranium²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 67| D

14/1

Won on his handicap debut on the AW last summer but didn't make much progress after. Off since October and needs to improve upon past form on turf.

Form: 731506-

Kyllachys Tale¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 66| D

12/1

8lb below her last winning mark but form under both codes has been mixed; returns from a break since January and has a bit to prove now.

Form: 79270-0

(6)

Less Of That¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Racheal Kneller⁽⁵⁾| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 66| D

25/1

Won on good to soft ground at Ayr last October but below par in two starts for her current yard since. Needs to up her game now.

Form: 5801-05

Zapateado^h,t⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: Paul George| OR: 65| CD

12/1

C&D winner from a 4lb lower mark last August and feasible to suggest she's still got room to move from her current mark. The return to turf is in her favour, one to consider.

Form: 21438-4

(8)

Dashing Poet³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: H Main| OR: 65| BF| CD

2/1

Held her form well since winning on the AW in December; interesting that she's being kept busy after a solid effort at Lingfield on Saturday and suited by the drop in trip. High on the shortlist.

Form: 233242

Waqt¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 63| D

11/2

Gained his first win on turf when scoring at Brighton at the end of last month. 3lb higher and needs to prove he can hold his form but still has to be respected.

Form: 7-41641

(11)

Takeonefortheteam¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| D

25/1

Won on first attempt over a mile with a gutsy display at Kempton last month but held off this mark back on turf last time. Has a bit to prove.

Form: 58-9610

(12)

Edge^b¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 62| D

33/1

Won on his final start last winter but was brushed aside on seasonal debut at Salisbury last month. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 66321-0

(9)

Tally's Son^p²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 49| CD

33/1

Was a surprise winner over C&D last May but been inconsistent since. Dropped to a handy enough mark but needs prove he can stop the rot.

Form: 657066-

(13)

Bob's Girl^h⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J Quinn| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

66/1

Reasonable effort on seasonal return last time but no easy task from out of the weights and needs to prove the drop in trip suits these days.

Form: 65400-4

Forecasts

Dashing Poet (2/1), Sir Roderic (3/1), Waqt (11/2), Fortune And Glory (10/1), Kyllachys Tale (12/1), Zapateado (12/1), Milan Reef (12/1), Geranium (14/1), Descendant (14/1), De Bruyne Horse (20/1), Takeonefortheteam (25/1), Less Of That (25/1), Connaught Ranger (25/1), Edge (33/1), Tally's Son (33/1), Bob's Girl (66/1)

DASHING POET is more consist than most of her rivals and is thriving on being kept on the go. She doesn't have much to find in this company and looks worth a wager now she's dropped in trip. Zappatedeo likes it here and is another to bear in mind, while Sir Roderic and Fortune And Glory also have solid enough form to merit consideration.
