Mr Minerals^t⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss H Welch⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 72| D

22/1

Twice a winner on the AW but losing streak now stretches back to July 2017 despite being 8lb lower. Slightly unlucky last time out and now looks well handicapped. Has run well fresh and should not be too easily written off.

Form: 26-3479

Zafaranah¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 70| D

5/1

All three wins have come on the AW at Wolverhampton. Yet to win on turf but has gone close in just seven starts and interesting back on this surface getting to race off a 6lb lower mark. Down in grade and should go well.

Form: 301-165

Gottardo¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Sophie Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69

28/1

Won on his opening start for his new yard on the AW at Chelmsford (6f) back in March and has backed it up with two solid efforts since. Yet to win in 13 starts on turf but remains of interest off last winning mark.

Form: 248-136

Ballymount^p²⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| D

11/2

Comfortably held on all four starts since joining this yard and has now dropped 16lb in the process. One to watch for the moment, unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 089984-

De Bruyne Horse^b⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 67| D

50/1

Lost his way on the Flat and in three runs over hurdles last year and also out of sorts on return to action last month for new stable. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 06709-0

(15)

The Lamplighter^p,t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Shae Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 67| D

20/1

Quirky sort who is fairly useful on his day but can look less than generous in a finish with just one win from 23 starts. Down 3lb and well handicapped so place possibilities again.

Form: 644026

Fieldsman⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66| BF| D

4/1

Experienced campaigner, raced prominently at Salisbury when making winning stable debut on reappearance. Bit below that when fourth over the same C&D and while he can be involved, others are better handicapped.

Form: 2577-14

(13)

Leo Davinci^t⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: George Scott| OR: 69| BF| D

7/2

Struggled in his first four starts but left that all behind when a narrow third on Windsor handicap debut and then a winner over this trip at Redcar. Up 6lb but on the upgrade and likely to go well again.

Form: 66-5931

(14)

The Lacemaker^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mrs D Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 65

66/1

On a fair mark but below par in both starts this year including on this month's stable debut. Just one win from 16 starts on turf and hard to fancy at present.

Form: 3214-09

(6)

Evening Attire¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss A Peck⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 63| BF| C| D

8/1

Without a win since December 2016 but has finished third on his last three starts and a beaten favourite the last twice. Capable of being competitive but this is a stronger contest.

Form: 506333

(12)

Sayesse¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 63| C| D

50/1

Mostly consistent in the past and generally campaigned over this distance. Dropping to a good mark now, however his last three runs have been poor and others look stronger candidates.

Form: 6157-89

(5)

Incentive^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: W S Kittow| OR: 62

25/1

2lb higher than last winning mark with both her career wins coming over 6f. A fair third at Nottingham last time would put her in this but she hasn't convinced she sees out this trip twice previously.

Form: 360-103

(1)

Winklemann^p⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 61

8/1

Sole win came in Italy on debut back in 2015. Not disgraced the last twice and 6f looked on the sharp side most recently, however this is tougher still. Others preferred on that basis.

Form: 0D-4637

(7)

Peachey Carnehan^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss M Mullineaux| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 60| C| D

25/1

Seven-time winner but just two wins from 31 turf starts. Won on the AW off this mark back in March but his last four runs have been below that standard. Needs to get back to his best.

Forecasts

Leo Davinci (7/2), Fieldsman (4/1), Zafaranah (5/1), Ballymount (11/2), Evening Attire (8/1), Winklemann (8/1), The Lamplighter (20/1), Mr Minerals (22/1), Incentive (25/1), Peachey Carnehan (25/1), Dominannie (25/1), Gottardo (28/1), Gulland Rock (33/1), Sayesse (50/1), De Bruyne Horse (50/1), The Lacemaker (66/1)

Mr Minerals isn't one to get carried away with for win purposes but did catch the eye on his last run in March and should be ready to go fresh. Gottardo and Zafaranah are yet to win on turf but both hold realistic claims and the latter gets to race off an attractive mark switching from the AW. LEO DAVINCI has a good rider booked, remains progressive and lightly raced and has more upside than his rivals.
