Borak^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 75

50/1

Experienced gelding who is having his first run on the Flat in just short of three years. Was a winner at Chepstow over 1m4f back in 2015. Ran well last time over hurdles at Aintree (2m½f) where he was third of five. Each-way claims off this mark.

Singing The Blues¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: B R Millman| OR: 73| BF| C

7/2

Has been in fantastic form this year on turf and the AW with four victories and four seconds to his name. Was unlucky not to score last time at Salisbury (1m4f) where he was runner-up, beaten by a short-head when the 15/8 favourite. Leading player.

Tidal Watch³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: L P Keniry| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 71

10/1

Dual-purpose gelding who is rated as high as 123 over hurdles. He was third of nine last time at Bangor (2m½f) when beaten as the 6/4 favourite in a handicap hurdle. Yet to score on five Flat starts on turf but should be in the mix off this mark.

Form: 22624-3

Sufi¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P J Dobbs| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 71

8/1

Still a maiden after 20 races but he has come close to his opening victory on a few occasions, including at Newbury (1m4f) on opening run of the season where he was second of 12, beaten by ½l. Needs to bounce back from latest at Goodwood (1m3f).

Form: 2276-26

Ourmullion^p,t³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 68

33/1

Has been busy over hurdles throughout the winter without success. Back on the Flat where he is back on a winning mark. Was third of 10 on his last appearance at Uttoxeter (2m) over hurdles. One to watch.

Mouchee^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 62

100/1

Was successful on the AW at Lingfield (1m4f) at the back end of last year but has been a long way down the field on his five starts since then, including latest at Chepstow (1m4f). Hard to make a case for.

Form: 1-97060

Famous Dynasty¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR: 61

40/1

Experienced gelding who does not win very often. Ran respectably well at Windsor (1m4f) on his opening turf start of the year when fourth of 14 but was a long way down the field last time at Goodwood over the same trip. Others preferred.

Form: 6-64349

Rosie Royale¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Teal| OR: 59| CD

20/1

A former C&D winner who has been out of form for a couple of years now. Did fare much better last time on her first run since a wind-op when she was sixth of 13 at Chepstow (1m4f). Likely to build on latest but much more needed.

Form: 23/860-6

(13)

Surrey Warrior^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 73

50/1

Has come close to breaking his maiden on a couple of occasions but took a huge step backwards last time when last of eight runners at Nottingham (1m6f). Has to bounce back from that last run and much more needed to land his first win.

Form: 7225-38

Enhanced²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 72

13/8

New Approach gelding who is lightly-raced, with just four appearances so far. Produced his best performance last time on his handicap debut when third of 12 at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm), beaten by just ¾l. Open to improvement. One to consider.

Form: 0-043

Moghram¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: F Norton| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 67

5/1

Was second of 12 in a novice race at Bath (1m3½f) on just his second start. Did not improve on latest though as he was last of eight at Salisbury (1m4f). Handicap debut today so keep an eye on any market confidence behind him.

Form: 828

Hermocrates^b1⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

9/1

Broke his maiden on the AW at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) back in January. Has been a long way down the field on his two starts since then. Taking a big step up in distance here and blinkers are on for the first time. One to watch.

SINGING THE BLUES has done very little wrong this season and he can go one better than his second place finish on his last start over the slightly shorter trip. He is versatile on all ground conditions so he can act on any surface. Enhanced showed he is capable on his handicap debut and warrants respect as there is likely to be more to come from him, while Tidal Watch is off a much higher mark than this over hurdles and should be staying on when many of these have cried enough.
