Fox Fearless^p⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: K R Burke| OR: 75

14/1

Six-race maiden showed promise in four starts for Ralph Beckett but well held in two starts for new stable and hasn't suggested he definitely wants this step up in trip. Drop in grade a positive if finding old form

Form: 3622-35

Mister Chiang²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75

5/1

One win from seven starts came on sole AW start and may be worth waiting for a return to that surface. Gets a big drop in class following two runs since and step up in trip raises stamina question. Stable also runs Anyonecanhaveitall.

Form: 2241-47

Surrey Warrior^b⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 75

33/1

Has shown a consistent level of form without winning in five starts so far including when a front-running third of four on handicap debut. More still needed but open to progress at this trip.

Form: 7225-3

Alpasu^p,t⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 73

50/1

Steady form in his first three AW starts and probably didn't handle fibresand on his fourth. Has kept on as though the step up from 1m4f should suit and on a workable mark for this handicap and turf debut.

Form: 3246

Palladium³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade| OR: 73| BF

7/2

Has run to a similar standard in four starts and made a pleasing handicap debut fourth over 1m4f at Doncaster in April. Bred to appreciate this longer distance and rates a leading contender.

Form: 37-24

(6)

Moon King²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70| D

11/8

Some promise in five starts last year but has left that well behind with back-to-back Wetherby wins over this trip following a gelding operation. Hit the line strongly on both occasions and may still be ahead of the handicapper off 4lb higher.

Form: 8032-11

(2)

Tigray¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 69

14/1

Formerly with Joseph O'Brien has done well for new stable with a fibresand win in between two Chelmsford seconds. Below that at Leicester and although dropping in grade, has a bit to prove on turf.

Form: 022124

Anyonecanhaveitall⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65

11/2

Gelded following three starts last year and improved with a third in a maiden handicap over this distance at Redcar on season reappearance. Likely to have more to offer at these staying distances and rates a player.

Form: 778-3

Forecasts

Moon King (11/8), Palladium (7/2), Mister Chiang (5/1), Anyonecanhaveitall (11/2), Tigray (14/1), Fox Fearless (14/1), Surrey Warrior (33/1), Alpasu (50/1)

Anyonecanhaveitall can progress again after showing plenty of stamina on his reappearance and looks the pick of his trainer's two runners. MOON KING represents a stable in good form and it may take time for the handicapper to get a hold of him following two impressive wins. Palladium is likely to progress again moving up in distance and is the main danger while Alpasu is expected to fare better.
