Our Oystercatcher¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: M Pattinson| OR: 72| C

5/1

Won at this course over the extended 5f trip at the back of last year. Has been running consistently well this season without success. Was third of 10 last time at Sandown (5f) in a respectable appearance. Capable off this mark.

Form: 210-643

Desert Ace¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: P J Dobbs| T: P T Midgley| OR: 71| CD

12/1

Was successful over this C&D back in 2014 but his recent performances have led to him falling to a career-low mark. Was much better on his latest appearance where was third of 12 at Pontefract (5f). Not to be ignored.

Form: 16-0703

Big Lachie¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| CD

8/1

A C&D winner 12 months ago and went close to adding another success here on his latest run when he was second of 10 over 5½f. He is now 4lb lower than his last win and acts on this ground. Each-way contender.

Form: 4-69492

Three Little Birds¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Mahon⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 70| CD

25/1

Her last win came over this C&D last September where she was was off a 2lb higher mark than she is now. Was third of seven last time at Lingfield (5f, good to soft), her best run for a while. Has to be respected off his mark but others preferred.

Form: 1335-43

Coronation Cottage¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: M S Saunders| OR: 69| CD

14/1

Form: 43-1729

Delagate This Lord¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M J Attwater| OR: 69| CD

9/1

Looking to end a losing run which stretches back to September 2017 when he won over this C&D. Has been poor on all three starts this season, including when last of 10 last time at Sandown (5f). Needs to improve but interesting off this mark.

Form: 430-550

Storm Melody^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: A Stronge| OR: 67| C

4/1

Won over the extended 5f trip at this course on his last start where he justified favouritism to make all, scoring by 4l. Has gone up 9lb for that victory but has won off this mark before. Strong jockey booking again. Leading contender.

Ghepardo^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: P R Chamings| OR: 66| D

28/1

This filly's sole success came off this mark and there have been signs she is close to scoring again as she has been second on her last starts, including at Brighton over the extended 5f earlier this month. Each-way chance.

Form: 279-522

Powerful Dream^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 65| CD

14/1

All three of her wins on turf have come at this track, including a C&D success . Has been in the frame a couple of times this season at this course but has to bounce back from her seventh place finish of 13 last time over this C&D.

Form: 4-65237

Silverrica⁵⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: F Sweeney| T: M S Saunders| OR: 65| CD

50/1

Experienced mare who won over this C&D last month. Has struggled to follow that victory up in four outings since then. She had just one horse behind her last time at Chepstow (5f). Now off a 2lb lower mark than last victory. One to watch.

Form: 6/1448-7

Bahamian Sunrise^b¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: J Gallagher| OR: 64| D

10/1

Has been on a long losing sequence and has shown no sign of ending that this year so far. Was eighth of 10 last time at Sandown (5f, soft). Now off a career low mark but has to improve on recent showings. Others preferred.

Look Surprised¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 63| D

7/1

Recorded two consecutive wins over this distance in the middle of last year but has not scored since. Her form has been poor in 2019 but she was much better last time when third of 10 here over the extended 5f trip. One to watch.

Form: 35-7P83

Secret Potion⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: R Harris| OR: 63| CD

10/1

Has been busy on the AW earlier in the year where he had success over 6f at Kempton back in April. Was fifth of 14 at Chepstow (6f) on his return to turf on latest run. Has won over this C&D so worth respecting on drop down in trip.

David's Beauty^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 60| BF| D

25/1

Was denied success last time at Chepstow (5f) by just a short-head when going off as the 5/2 favourite. Gone up 4lb for her narrow defeat but if she can build upon it, she can be competitive once again off her new mark.

Form: 72-6432

Edged Out¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-6| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 55| CD

50/1

Experienced mare who has taken a serious slide down the weights over the last couple of years as she has struggled to replicate her form from earlier in her career. Is a C&D winner but hard to see her adding to her tally here today.

Form: 4656-56

Storm Melody (4/1), Our Oystercatcher (5/1), Rewaayat (6/1), Look Surprised (7/1), Big Lachie (8/1), Delagate This Lord (9/1), Secret Potion (10/1), Bahamian Sunrise (10/1), Prominna (10/1), Desert Ace (12/1), Powerful Dream (14/1), Coronation Cottage (14/1), Three Little Birds (25/1), David's Beauty (25/1), Ghepardo (28/1), Edged Out (50/1), Silverrica (50/1)

STORM MELODY was successful here earlier this month and although that was over ½f longer than today's trip, it shouldn't give him any problems as he made all on that occasion. The gelding has won off a higher mark than this so he can defy his rise in the weights to add another success at this track. Although he is still a maiden, there is still a lot more to come from Rewaayat who should enjoy this distance, while Ouroystercatcher has been knocking on the door a few times this season and has to be respected off this mark.
