Jeopardy John²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55

20/1

17-race maiden not seen since late last year and was in dreadful form at the time. Conditions here very much against him and likely to struggle.

Form: 458300-

Tomily²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| D

1/1

Once rated 104 yet mark tumbled all the way down to 77. If any of his old ability remains this is a golden opportunity at the weights but he is clearly declining and there are major doubts whether he can actually run to 77 now.

Form: 8-79375

Upavon²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

8/1

Runner up in a similar AW contest latest and on the face of it he should go well today. He has been as effective on turf in his career but this season his form in AW is considerably stronger.

Form: 7-22862

Whirl Me Round^v⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 54

40/1

Yet to beat a rival in three races for this yard and was almost tailed off latest. Even at this low level he makes no appeal.

Form: 007/808

Time For Bed¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

11/8

Eight-race maiden has disappointed at three but her second in a £150k auction race at two stands out like a sore thumb here. Drop to selling company where she's best in at the weights could help her get back on track.

Form: 022-657

Forecasts

Tomily (1/1), Time For Bed (11/8), Upavon (8/1), Jeopardy John (20/1), Mother Brown (20/1), Whirl Me Round (40/1), Deer Song (50/1)

Even by selling standards this is a pretty woeful contest. Richard Hannon has the two most likely with the filly TIME FOR BED narrowly preferred to Tomily although neither arrive in anything like form. Upavon should prove better than the others and could be the fly in the ointment.
