Mister Musicmaster¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R J Hodges| OR: 63| CD

20/1

Making his 22nd appearance at this track and has won here four times in the past. Not as good in previous three runs but has bounced back in the past and could threaten to get involved if recapturing the form of his second here in September.

Form: 2320-95

Waqt¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 63| D

15/8

Thriving at the moment and has proved the last twice he can do it on turf. Not disgraced when third in a Class 5 last time (1m; good), and is a major player on his return to this company.

Form: 416413

Orobas^v²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 62

7/1

Only just held on at Lingfield when winning over further (1m2f; standard) three starts ago. Not gone on since then and he is turned out quickly after weakening to finish fifth of six runners at Ayr on first run over 1m for some time.

Aqua Libre²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| CD

6/1

One of two representatives for Tony Carroll. Has good form in higher grade events than this (not disgraced in a couple of Class 4 races last summer) and is an interesting contender starting out for new yard.

Screaming Gemini²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61

9/1

Tends to run well without winning, and is subsequently still a maiden after 17 runs. Respectable effort last time in a competitive handicap at Yarmouth (1m; good), but likely to find one or two too good again.

Form: 03-3504

Accomplice¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: M Blanshard| OR: 60| CD

17/2

Not beaten far last time when third in a Class 5 at Nottingham (1m 1/2f; soft). That was on soft and her win over C&D was also achieved with give in the ground. More reliable than most in this field though which gives her fair claims.

Form: 227653

Junoesque^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher| OR: 57| D

13/2

Well-fancied and duly obliged on seasonal return (9-4f) at Brighton (1m; good to firm). Handicapper reacted leniently for that (raised only 2lb) and holds a strong chance of going in again.

Form: 17645-1

Brockagh Cailin¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J S Moore| OR: 55

16/1

Helmet-filly who is still a maiden after nine runs. Finished in midfield in each of her last three runs and mark looks an attractive one now. Possesses enough ability to be considered a player.

Form: 50-4566

Coachella^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 54| CD

14/1

40-1 C&D winner at this track last season in similar conditions (1m; firm). In good form at the backend of last season. However, previous two efforts have been well below-par. Headgear returns (not worn on reappearance).

Form: 02216-8

Aye Aye Skipper^b²³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 49| CD

20/1

Has gone well here in the past and is a C&D winner. Reappearance effort was fair (1m; good to firm) and holds each-way claims on the back of that.

Form: 24363-4

Ramblow^t,v³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45| D

50/1

Recent runs leave a lot to be desired. Makes first appearance on turf for over a year and has never raced on the forecast firmer ground. Others preferred.

Form: 70-8680

Machiavelian Storm^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-3| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: N R Mitchell| OR: 45

100/1

Cannot be recommended on the basis of previous efforts. Beaten a long way on seasonal bow when 17th of 18 runners at Salisbury (6f; good to firm).

Another low-grade affair to end proceedings and this looks set to go the way of WAQT. He is in fine form at present and is now showing his ability to translate his AW form to turf. Junoesque must be greatly feared after being raised just 2lb for a comfortable success at Brighton, especially with the possibility that there may be more to come, after that win was achieved on her first run of the season. Accomplice holds solid each-way prospects if able to cope with the forecast quicker ground, given that her overall profile suggests she prefers softer conditions.
