Mr Tyrrell¹¹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

9/2

Already won twice this season and carries a 5lb penalty here for latest 6L win on firm ground at Bath. Will have no problem with that and looks sure to make another bold bid in current form.

Form: 243-161

Glenn Coco^t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| D

7/2

Reeled off an AW hat-trick coming into this and although he's 0-11 on turf he races off a mark 7lb lower than he would on AW and he has placed five times on turf. Suspect he will be winning on turf sooner rather than later now.

Form: 01-3111

Dance Teacher^p1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 79| BF| D

20/1

Got her head in front in a six-runner race at Epsom last season and with a good record when fresh she was made favourite on return at Doncaster but was almost tailed off last of seven. That run obviously a concern.

Form: 21768-7

Young John¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 78| D

15/2

Hacked up at Leicester last season and followed up at Newcastle. Showed handicap mark still within range first time out when second back at Leicester but flopped badly on AW next at Chelmsford. Better form on turf so willing to forgive that.

Form: 1145-26

Sea Fox^t,v1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 78| D

9/2

Won three times last season (1-17 before) and showed aptitude for big handicaps here when third in the 7f Victoria Cup. Well held in big field 1m handicap at Ascot latest but 7f suits better. Handicapper may still have his measure.

Form: 7-65600

Rock of Estonia¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: C Hills| OR: 76| D

7/2

Stepped into the unknown when upped to this trip latest at Southwell and absolutely bolted up by 4½L. Could be open to more improvement over the trip back on turf and 7lb rise doesn't temper enthusiasm.

Form: 80-5721

(8)

Call Out Loud^t,v⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| D

17/2

In good form on AW throughout the winter winning at Newcastle and remaining consistent and competitive since. Not as compelling now back on turf and handicapper probably has his measure.

Form: 524143

Trulee Scrumptious^v²⁶⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: J Quinn| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 66

25/1

Another starting out for a new yard but is still 1lb above her last winning mark and has a long absence to overcome. Record when fresh isn't so great these days.

Forecasts

Glenn Coco (7/2), Rock of Estonia (7/2), Mr Tyrrell (9/2), Sea Fox (9/2), Young John (15/2), Custard The Dragon (8/1), Call Out Loud (17/2), Dance Teacher (20/1), Trulee Scrumptious (25/1)

One couldn't fail to be impressed by ROCK OF ESTONIA at Southwell latest and although winners there rarely follow up at HQ he could be an exception given that was a first start over 7f; he actually looked like he may even get further. In form duo Mr Tyrrell and Glenn Coco may not be done just yet with the former the more appealing of the pair given his recent wins have come on turf where the latter's have all been on AW.
