Hawaam^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S De Sousa| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 77| CD

2/1

Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in October (good/soft), and drops in class after a couple of respectable efforts in better handicapas than this. Should go close.

Form: 410-033

Something Lucky^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 70| D

12/1

All his UK wins have come on AW, and while he's well handicapped on the pick of this year's form,. he has now run below form on his last three starts, and is probably best watched as a result.

Form: 752657

Global Melody^v⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 66| BF| D

15/8

Running consistently without quite hitting the mark this season, and shaped as if worth another try at this trip when 1¾L fourth of 7 to Stallone over 6f here last time.

Form: 342644

Rickyroadboy³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 65

7/1

Seems to act on any ground and ended a poor run of form with a second to Peggy Sue at Pontefract. Followed that with a poor effort over C&D, however, and not the easiest to predict.

Form: 550-026

National Glory^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 64

11/1

Sole win from 23 starts came in an Irish maiden back in July 2018 when trained by Joseph O'Brien. Racing to a consistent level of late, though, and was better than the result after meeting interference at Chepstow (5f) last time.

Form: 537333

Just For The Craic⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 59| D

14/1

Won for this yard at Bath (5f, soft) in October 2017. Missed last year, and although not discredited on first two starts back, he was disappointing at Wiindsor last time, and has something to prove now.

Form: 518/450

Prominna¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| CD

12/1

A C&D winner here on softish ground, although that was back in 2015. Running creditably on tge whole this year, and on a fair mark if building on latest AW run which came after a break.

Form: 862244

Forecasts

Global Melody (15/8), Hawaam (2/1), Rickyroadboy (7/1), National Glory (11/1), Prominna (12/1), Something Lucky (12/1), Just For The Craic (14/1), Brandy Station (20/1)

Not a strong race for the grade, and the top-weight HAWAAM mkaes most appeal. This former C&D winner has been running creditably in better class races of late, and should make the most of the ease in status. Global Melody hasn't been getting home over six furlongs of late, and is well worth another try at this trip, so is shortlisted, with National Glory likely to be placed again for all his win record is not inspiring.
