Born To Finish⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 70| D

3/1

Placed on both previous visits here and lost all chance at Goodwood last time when badly hampered. 2lb higher than last win at Bath in July but liking for this track helps his cause.

Form: 2137-46

Foreign Legion^p⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: L McJannet| OR: 67| D

12/1

Completed excellent AW four-timer at Chelmsford in February before winning run came to an end there next time out. Not seen for three months and has run only once on turf so market may reflect expectations.

Form: 211110

Mont Kiara¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Dow| OR: 67| D

13/2

Coming down the weights following thin time of it during winter season but not disgraced in better race than this at Ascot last time. Dropped 2lb since and down in class so is worth a second glance.

Form: 195780

Cent Flying^t³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 65| CD

7/2

C&D winner last summer off 6lb lower mark and also landed the spoils at Ffos Las in September. Beaten less than three lengths at Salisbury recently and bids to make it 2-2 at this venue.

Form: 1518-56

National Glory^b⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 65| D

5/2

Yard has 17% strike rate here. Having 12th start since December and has failed to score for current handler, but ran well enough when thrid at Goodwood last time to suggest he may not be too far away.

Form: 685373

The British Lion^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 64

14/1

Usually campaigned at 7f or further and was third here over that trip last time, staying on. Interesting to see how he fares returning to sprinting off 1lb lower mark.

Form: 696773

King Crimson²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Butler| OR: 62| C

8/1

Three wins here at 5 1/2f when trained by Mick Channon. Won Leicester 5f h'cap last June for current yard off 72 but no joy since. 1olb lower now so theoretically well handicapped but not at all certain to last home.

Form: 8075-97

Forecasts

National Glory (5/2), Born To Finish (3/1), Cent Flying (7/2), Mont Kiara (13/2), King Crimson (8/1), Foreign Legion (12/1), The British Lion (14/1)

CENT FLYING won on his only previous visit to this tricky track and shaped well enough at Salisbury recently to suggest he could hit the target this time. There are plenty of others with claims including Born To Finish and Mont Kiara, both of whom could win if the cards fall their way. National Glory is another who can make his presence felt.
