Tempus³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

4/11

Finished just in front of the well touted Surfman when beaten a head on debut at Nottingham (1m) last autumn; made all and comfortably landed the odds on seasonal reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m+); clear form pick despite a penalty.

Form: 2-1

(2)

Lyndon B⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott| OR: 82

5/2

Has shown a solid and consistent level of form; gelded over the winter, returning to action as a runner up to Jalaad in an April Doncaster maiden (7f, good) - form franked with the third, fifth and eighth placed horses all winning since.

Form: 24-2

(3)

Power Player³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

33/1

Slade Power gelding; 70,000gns yearling; rather disappointing on the track (7f-1m) during the early months of this turf campaign (0-2), and has plenty to find with the other two declared runners on that basis.

Form: 90

Forecasts

Tempus (4/11), Lyndon B (5/2), Power Player (33/1)

Despite carrying a penalty for winning on the AW at Wolverhampton (1m+), TEMPUS boasts by far the strongest form on paper and assuming that he handles these testing conditions should have the measure of his only realistic threat Lyndon B.
