Rakematiz¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 72

20/1

Very consistent since the autumn past, with three wins and just one run of the money in eight starts on the AW circuit. Last two wins have come over this distance and has won on turf previously. May need the run and more needed off this mark.

Form: 321-316

Delicate Kiss^b¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 71| D

7/1

In good form on the AW last winter with two wins and two seconds in her last four starts but yet to win on turf and after five months off she must prove she can be as effective on it now.

Form: 9012-21

Bounty Pursuit⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 67

5/1

Four-time winner (6f-7f) but has looked worthy of another go over 1m the last twice and his fifth of 18 at Newbury last time (7f) when running on strongly is form which suggests he may have a genuine chance today.

Form: 693-055

Copal²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 72

2/1

Plenty of promise from his three starts last season but yet to fire in two handicaps as a three-year-old with his 10th of 11 latest particularly disappointing. Gets another 4lb back and sure he can improve plenty on two runs in 2019.

Form: 642-60

Maximum Power¹¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: Tim Pinfield| OR: 61| BF

14/1

Nine-race maiden ran his best race to date when second at Kempton penultimately over 6f although disappointed next. Upped to 1m for the first time now but she is bred to suggest it's a possibility she stays. Layoff to overcome also.

Form: 405-526

Black Medick²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 70

33/1

AW winner for Richard Hannon in January crept to a 4lb lower mark now due to struggles subsequently. Two prior turf runs less than inspiring and others appeal more.

Form: 146055

Monsieur Fox^p1¹⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 56

14/1

Still looking for his first win after 10 attempts, but ran well to be second at Chelmsford when last seen in March. Has to prove himself back on turf and after a break but latest formline as persuasive as any in this weak race.

Form: 550-392

Orliko^b,t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 62| D

11/2

Won at Brighton in June in first-time blinkers and not beaten far without them at Chepstow latest (both over 1m). Blinkers back on here and arrives in good form which very few do so has A1 claims of doubling his tally.

Form: 86-6162

Sir Magnum¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: B Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52

40/1

Offered nothing in three AW qualifiers so 13th of 14 on handicap/turf debut wasn't sadly a great surprise. Hard to fancy.

Form: 887-0

Tally's Son^b1³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: G Harris| OR: 48| D

25/1

66/1 Chepstow winner in May 2018 but 14 months on we are still none the wiser as to where that came from with him not placing once since. Tailed off latest and blinkers now reached for probably out of desperation.

Form: 7066-66

Shifting Gold²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Egan| T: W J Knight| OR: 57

10/1

Six-race unplaced maiden shaped with some promise here on handicap debut but hasn't fired twice since. 8lb lower for second run at the course she ran best at so far she could well make a return to form.

Form: 544-560

In a very weak handicap Richard Hannon has found ORLIKO an excellent chance to follow up his Brighton win last month and with the blinkers back on he is worth siding with here. Although he's never won over 1m Bounty Pursuit looks worth another go at the trip based on his running in fifth at Newbury and he could prove the danger. Shifting Gold has a bit to prove but her one previous run here makes her look attractively handicapped.
