Perfect Refuge¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 72| BF| CD

10/1

Very disappointing on her last AW start following some progressive form, however the very slow pace wouldn't have suited her style. C&D winner in this grade and goes well fresh. Likely contender.

Form: 337-120

Bakht A Rawan²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 70| C

50/1

Well handicapped on old form for Stuart Kittow but lost his way for that stable and tailed off on season and stable debut. Best watched for now.

Form: 52080-0

Jai Hanuman^h,t⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 70| D

11/2

Hugely progressive in completing a four-timer on the AW this year. First run since April but goes well fresh and only second start now on turf. Up in grade but first try at this distance produced a career best and an obvious hope.

Form: 2-21111

Jumping Jack^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: C Gordon| OR: 70

16/1

Below par at Newbury recently on soft ground and much better suited by these conditions. Losing Flat run now stretches over two years but place possibilities.

Form: 6243-74

Cogital^h³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 68

10/1

Remains a maiden after 11 starts but caught the eye when not getting a clear run until it was too late at Sandown last time. Is starting to frustrate but possible he may have more to offer again at this trip.

Form: 2393-38

Le Maharajah³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 67

13/2

Disappointed in handicaps last year but back to his initial promise on reappearance following wind surgery when a front running narrow second. Race was run in a poor time and this is a tougher grade.

Form: 27707-2

Dashing Poet¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 65| BF

7/1

Proving very reliable in racing to a consistent level in nine starts since December 2018. Form on a quicker surface is nowhere near that on easier ground and would likely need rain.

Form: 324222

Broad Appeal¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 64

6/1

Yet to run a bad race this season and followed up a win at Leicester (1m4f) with a running on fourth of 13 at Windsor off this mark over 1m3½f latest. Likely to go well again although this trip is on the sharp side.

Form: 424-214

(5)

Blue Medici³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63

16/1

Second run for this yard having struggled at Haydock. Yet to win a race and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance but much more needed.

Form: 23480-9

Mullarkey^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 60| D

9/1

Sole turf win came off 8lb higher back in 2017, however on a good run of consistent form judged on his last four starts. One concern would be the move up in class but can't be dismissed.

Form: 193D52

Junoesque^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: J Gallagher| OR: 60| D

10/1

Beat Dashing Poet last time to make it two wins from three this year. Up 3lb but this distance produced a career best at Lingfield and she can continue upwards. Versatile regarding ground and a tough mare who looks likely to go close.

Form: 645-141

(9)

Midnight Mood²⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 56| D

20/1

Absent since September last year and still 1lb higher than last winning mark. Fast conditions are ideal but weighted up to her best and has never won in a grade this high.

Form: 022166-

Brecqhou Island¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 49

33/1

Ran on strongly over a mile on heavy ground at Yarmouth on turf debut and a return to this distance should suit now. Has been pulled out of races due to good and also firm ground previously, so conditions a major concern.

Form: 8-80662

Jai Hanuman (11/2), Broad Appeal (6/1), Le Maharajah (13/2), Dashing Poet (7/1), Mullarkey (9/1), Junoesque (10/1), Cogital (10/1), Perfect Refuge (10/1), Miss Blondell (10/1), Blue Medici (16/1), Jumping Jack (16/1), Midnight Mood (20/1), Brecqhou Island (33/1), Bakht A Rawan (50/1)

Perfect Refuge can be forgiven her last run, goes well following a break and is a former C&D winner. Jai Hanuman also has fresh form, is seeking a five-timer and everything revolves if he can transfer his progressive AW form to this surface and in a tougher grade. JUNOESQUE is also in fine for, and seems to be improving again at the age of five following a really likeable and game win.
