Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 51| D

12/1

Winner in first time cheekpieces at Brighton (1m2f, good) last October. Excuses in two starts this campaign however and worth a check in the market with cheekpieces returning for the first time this season.

Form: 3417-58

20/1

11 race maiden beaten 15L when finishing sixth over 1m4f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last September. Drop in trip looks likely to suit on first appearance of the season.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 46

22/1

15 race maiden finished a good 4L third in a 1m handicap on the AW here in April. Hasn't always convinced on previous starts at this distance.

Form: 0-74253

25/1

Beaten just 1¼L when finishing fifth in a race over this trip on the AW here at the end of March. Interesting runner on return from a short break.

Form: 70-9005

Cherry Cola²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: Miss S West| OR: 55

28/1

Stepping up markedly in trip when 17L fifth over 1m4f at Ascot (soft) last month when debuting for this stable. Probably best watched dropping in distance.

Form: 049-405

Mongolia^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 55

4/1

Placed on three most recent starts including when third over this trip at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time out. Cheekpieces tried for the first time and is one for the shortlist on this occasion.

Form: 50-8323

Sir Canford^p1⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: A Stronge| OR: 55

12/1

Signs of ability when seventh over 7f at Leicester (good) in April. Given a break since and is of interest stepping up in trip with cheekpieces tried for the first time on handicap debut.

Form: 877

Invincible Sea⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 54

40/1

Placed in a 7f AW novice event here in December but has disappointed on three starts since including at Kempton (1m) last time out. Stamina to prove over this distance.

Form: 03-700

Forty Four Sunsets³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 54

12/1

Fair sixth on first attempt at this distance at Salisbury (good-to-firm) a month ago. Dropped 2lb for that effort and interesting to see how she performs.

Form: 37-76

(9)

Act Of Magic²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R P Downey| T: M Moubarak| OR: 54| BF| C

5/6

Winner of two of his last three starts including a 1m1f handicap on good-to-firm ground here on Thursday. Carries a 6lb penalty for that victory and is likely to play a leading role stepping up in distance.

Form: 582141

Jazz Hands¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 52

10/1

Victorious by a neck in a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) a month ago. Struggled with the trip upped to 1m4f subsequently and this looks a more suitable affair.

Form: 733-018

(12)

Chutzpah³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 48

50/1

Held in four starts since joining this stable most recently over 1m at Chelmsford at the end of April. Others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 06-7988

(3)

With Pride⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: C Ellam| OR: 45WS

50/1

Well held in five starts for previous stable and probably best watched on stable debut and first outing since wind surgery.

Act Of Magic (5/6), Mongolia (4/1), Jazz Hands (10/1), Sir Canford (12/1), Forty Four Sunsets (12/1), Rocksette (12/1), Allofmelovesallofu (20/1), Ahfad (22/1), Altaira (25/1), Cherry Cola (28/1), Cala Sveva (33/1), Invincible Sea (40/1), With Pride (50/1), Chutzpah (50/1)

ACT OF MAGIC impressed in winning here on Thursday and he can follow-up that victory with a success in the opening handicap. The selection remains open to improvement and he can get the better of Mongolia who wears cheekpieces for the first time while third place can go to Jazz Hands who was a winner on his penultimate outing.
