Motajaasid^p1,t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 74| D

9/2

Yet to win on turf (two on AW) and disappointed at Ascot after being placed in two of three AW starts this year. May prefer a softer surface and two or three to falter off these terms but respected dropping significantly in class.

Form: 15-2837

(2)

Robero^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 78

6/1

Eight-time winner, four on turf and has won over further in the past. Disappointed from a good draw at Chester latest but perhaps better suited by the visor being removed and had previously been consistent. Leading contender down in class.

Form: 1-54540

(9)

Time To Rock⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Kieren Fox| T: J J Bridger| OR: 30

100/1

Sent off at triple-figure odds in all three starts and yet to beat a single rival home. Huge task off these terms and easy to dismiss.

Form: 0-07

Scofflaw^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| D

5/1

Six-time winner but raced too freely when not seeing out the race on very fast ground at Brighton latest. These conditions are more suitable and formerly very reliable for this yard. Leading hope back in this grade off favourable terms.

Form: 536566

(10)

Toriano¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 63| D

8/1

Four wins on the AW but yet to place in three starts on turf. A winner on the AW here two starts back but has been inconsistent and disappointed last time. More needed off these terms.

Form: 9462-17

Facethepuckout^v⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: J Ryan| OR: 75

3/1

Sole win from 18 starts came in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. Not far off that level in two starts on the AW here and maybe unsuited by Kempton in the race in between. Likes the conditions and should be involved down in grade.

Form: 46-5283

(1)

Oofy Prosser^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 60

16/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in a Salisbury claimer on his first run on quick ground. May have more to offer on this surface and over a half furlong further but would need to progress again off these terms in a tougher contest

Form: 0068-71

(5)

Barbarosa¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan| OR: 71

3/1

A €78,000 yearling by Holy Roman Emperor who showed promise in last two of three races a juvenile but has struggled to make any impact in three runs this year. Claims off these terms if returning to previous form but hard to be confident in.

Form: 725-89

Forecasts

Facethepuckout (3/1), Barbarosa (3/1), Motajaasid (9/2), Scofflaw (5/1), Robero (6/1), Toriano (8/1), Oofy Prosser (16/1), Lollipop Lady (20/1), Valentine Mist (50/1), Time To Rock (100/1)

There were excuses for SCOFFLAW last time and this reliable performer rates as the best suited by these weights. It's likewise worth giving Robero another chance with the change in headgear a plus. Facethepuckout likes this faster surface, is in form and rates the main danger off favourable terms.
