Majeste¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 65| C

11/2

Won his last two starts, including at this course over 1m1f (heavy). Up in distance on hat-trick bid where he is unproven over this trip but he is in good form and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 50-6311

Can Can Sixty Two¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: R M Smith| OR: 64| D

25/1

Was a winner at Goodwood (1m3f) last August but since switching stables her form has not been great. Was last of eight runners at Carlisle (1m3f) last time. Has to improve; others preferred.

Form: 0613-58

Seaborough^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: D Thompson| OR: 62

4/1

Produced his best run of the year so far last time at Redcar (1m2f) when second of 14 and only beaten by ½L. The extra distance may help his chances. He has won off a 2lb higher mark. One to consider.

Form: 835482

So You Thought¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Elliott| T: S G West| OR: 61

16/1

Has been unable to follow up his maiden win as a three-year-old at Navan (1m) in 2017. Was a long way down the field in 7th place of eight runners at Southwell (1m4f) on the AW last time. Needs to improve a lot.

Form: 47500-7

Hillgrove Angel¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58

3/1

Ended his long wait without success at Ayr (1m2f) last time where he ran on well inside the last 1f to suggest this step up in trip will suit. Was rated as high as 76 before wind-op so there could be more to come.

Form: 8800-81

Ninepin Bowler¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 57

15/2

Still a maiden after 12 races but he went close to success at Newcastle (7f) when beaten by a neck in a 13 runner field. Never really troubled on last start at Redcar (1m2f). Improvement needed so others preferred.

Form: 69280-6

Elite Icon^v1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50

6/1

A winner at Musselburgh over 1m6f last month. Has hit the frame twice since then, including at this track on his latest start over 1m5f. Down in trip and visors on for first time which both could help. Each-way claims.

Form: 031393

Sosian^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 48

6/1

Broke her maiden at 20th attempt at Redcar (1m2f) on last run. Was rated as high as 74 on handicap debut so capable of much more. Up 3lb for her win and that shouldn't be enough to put you off her following it up.

Form: 753401

Morley Gunner^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: S Donohoe| OR: 45

40/1

Has not looked like scoring in his six starts so far where there has been no market confidence behind him. Was last of 16 runners at Ayr (1m) last time. Blinkers are tried for the first time here but it's unlikely to help him to success.

Form: 7800-70

(4)

Jock Talk¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 45

50/1

Still looking for maiden success after 10 runs. Was never in the race last time at Carlilse (1m1f) where he struggled to settle before finishing eighth of nine runners. Needs to produce a lot more to hit frame.

Form: 0089-08

Forecasts

Hillgrove Angel (3/1), Seaborough (4/1), Majeste (11/2), Sosian (6/1), Elite Icon (6/1), Ninepin Bowler (15/2), So You Thought (16/1), Can Can Sixty Two (25/1), Morley Gunner (40/1), Jock Talk (50/1), Just Heather (50/1)

Now that SOSIAN has broken her maiden, she may just go on a winning run, including here as she has only gone up 3lb for her success. She was rated much higher than this earlier in her career but it looks like she is getting the hang of it now. Majeste has to be respected on his hat-trick bid, the slight concern is the trip though as he has yet to prove himself over it, while Seaborough is a horse who looks as though the extra distance will help his chances.
