Oasis Fantasy⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 86| D

6/1

Infrequent winner (3-44) on turf but returns to this surface fitter for two runs back and not disgraced in a stronger AW contest here in March. On a competitive mark and could be involved.

Form: 2231-45

Amourice^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84| D

11/4

Dual handicap winner last year at up to 1m6f and back on the same mark as the last of them, however not near that level in two starts this year and refused to go to post at Newmarket. Others look more reliable.

Form: 1854-05

Hollywood Road¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 82| CD

3/1

Now 3lb lower than when winning this on good ground last year. Shaped well in two placed starts this year before soft ground didn't suit over 1m5f here last time. Conditions now ideal and handicapped to go close again.

Form: 447-235

Lawn Ranger¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 82

7/4

Gradually coming to the boil on the AW at Kempton before gaining a first turf win at Windsor over 1m2f. Only up 3lb and suited by extra trip and this ground. Still improving and every chance he can back up the success.

Form: 05-3321

El Borracho^h⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 74

10/1

Remains high in the handicap at 6lb higher than his last of two successes. Well below form in two AW starts at Kempton this year and has questions to answer at present. Others preferred.

Form: 2226-90

Forecasts

Lawn Ranger (7/4), Amourice (11/4), Hollywood Road (3/1), Victory Chime (5/1), Oasis Fantasy (6/1), El Borracho (10/1)

Hollywood Road is well handicapped in his bid to back up his success in this race last year and can be forgiven his latest run on unsuitable ground. He's likely to make a strong bid along with Oasis Fantasy who gets a welcome drop back to his last winning grade. Preference though is for the progressive LAWN RANGER who should have plenty more to come following his breakthrough turf win and is proving very reliable.
