Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 84| BF| D

12/1

Obvious claims on his short head second at Doncaster on comeback. Didn't run up to that on AW since but may be happier back on turf now.

Form: 7547-26

Move In Time³⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| CD

8/1

Has good record at this track and emphatic winner of this race last year. Sure to come on for comeback run last month and should go close off just a 1lb higher mark than last year

Form: 28530-9

Harry Hurricane^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: George Baker| OR: 83| D

13/2

Backed up his close second at Brighton with another solid effort when third at Goodwood when ridden by this jockey for the first time. Just worrying that losing run now stretches back to 2016.

Form: 27-4623

Leo Minor¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 82| D

9/1

Yet to fire in two runs this season but handicapper has given him a chance as he is now 2lb below his win on the July course last summer. Worth monitoring in market.

Form: 2640-80

Daschas^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| BF| D

11/4

Runner up to Move In Time a year ago. Was having first run since at the minimum trip when good second at Ascot on recent comeback and that may well have been a career best run.

Form: 18105-2

Equimou⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Eddery| OR: 82| D

8/1

Busy spell in 2018 with just a Salisbury win to show for it. Rather hit and miss these days and others have stronger form claims.

Form: 90-8375

Foxy Forever^b,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 81| D

8/1

Helped by good draw when running with credit to chase home a progressive type at Musselburgh. In the veteran stage but still retains plenty of ability and has to be on the short list.

Form: 746942

Rio Ronaldo¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 81| D

16/1

Hold up performer who needs a strong pace to aim at but decent sprint handicapper when he gets the race run to suit and back down at a mark he can be competitive at.

Form: 20406-0

Boundary Lane²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 79| D

4/1

Totally unexposed having had just the six career runs and game effort to pip Zamjar (reopposes here) at Doncaster on first run for 9 months. Entitled to improve again and respected.

Forecasts

Daschas (11/4), Boundary Lane (4/1), Harry Hurricane (13/2), Foxy Forever (8/1), Move In Time (8/1), Equimou (8/1), Jack Taylor (8/1), Leo Minor (9/1), Zamjar (12/1), Rio Ronaldo (16/1)

MOVE IN TIME wasn't knocked about here last month and this is likely to have been the plan for a while and he can repeat his 2018 success in this race. Boundary Lane has few miles on the clock compared to his rivals and has to rate a big danger with Daschas likely to have more to come at the minimum trip.
