Crimewave^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 77

5/1

Didn't stay 1m2f last time and happier back at this trip. One piece of form at Wolverhampton last winter would put him in the mix but on balance first time cheek pieces need to improve him.

Form: 852-75

Prince Of Harts¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: B R Millman| OR: 76

11/4

Latest run can be ignored as he was poorly placed off a steady pace. Better judged on his second to the progressive Cardano over C&D and a repeat of that gives him obvious claims.

Form: 55-1625

(6)

Motawaj²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 74

9/4

Progressed with each start over 7f last term and shapes as though the extra furlong on handicap/season debut will suit. Top yard in excellent form and looks a major player.

Form: 663-

(9)

Love Your Work²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West| OR: 73| D

18/1

2 wins on the AW at Southwell this season but turf form leaves plenty to be desired and although mark in this sphere is lower, not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 77-1018

Noble Fox²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 72

12/1

Ability first two runs and wasn't knocked about at all at Kempton last time. Very interesting now handicapping and market should reveal more.

Form: 349

(7)

Penrhos²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 72

16/1

Showed ability first two runs both on turf. Not so good on AW latest when getting his handicap mark and extra furlong should be in his favour as should return to grass.

Form: 3-38

(4)

Skyman²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 72

8/1

Promise both runs at two. Absent until Carlisle reappearance when seeming to find 1m1f on soft ground too much but should be fitter for handicap debut now and interesting to see any market strength.

Form: 55-5

Miss Pollyanna¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 60

66/1

Didn't show a great deal in trio of maidens in the winter over shorter and needs to improve a good deal to trouble the best of these on handicap debut after 6 months break.

Form: 66-6

(5)

Whenapoet^p⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| D

10/1

Front runner who has found 1m2f beyond him last two runs. Happier back at this trip but beginning to look more an AW horse and exposed compared to quite a few of these.

Form: 1-26270

Forecasts

Motawaj (9/4), Prince Of Harts (11/4), Rambaldi (4/1), Crimewave (5/1), Skyman (8/1), Whenapoet (10/1), Noble Fox (12/1), Penrhos (16/1), Love Your Work (18/1), Miss Pollyanna (66/1)

Plenty can be fancied and it may pay to forgive PRINCE OF HARTS his latest run and instead concentrate on his second to a progressive type over C&D prior to that. A few similar sorts making their handicap debuts form the dangers and in a race where the market should prove informative, Motawaj and Noble Fox are feared most.
