Fares Poet^h⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: M Botti| OR: 75

10/1

Five-race maiden who finished runner-up to a good yardstick at Wolverhampton (1m; standard) recently. That was a career-best and now just 2lb higher he is a player if reproducing that effort.

Form: 934-62

(9)

Jack D'Or¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 75

11/1

Placed in minor events at Lingfield (AW) and Windsor since returning to action this term, thrice-raced maiden could have more to offer now going handicapping and is on the shortlist.

Form: 6-32

(3)

Edaraat¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 74

3/1

Showed something to work when 8L third on Yarmouth debut but failed to build on that in two further outings. Improved showing could be forthcoming now sent handicapping, with market vibes worth noting.

Form: 385

(8)

Songkran¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 74| C

13/2

Maiden winner at this track in January (20-1 chance) though form hasn't come up to that level since on turf. Others preferred despite sliding mark.

Form: 152879

In The Cove³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

6/1

Progressed with each start so far this season. Did well to overturn the well-fancied Revolutionise (11-8f) last time at Lingfield (7f; standard). Form of that victory has been franked and he is a fascinating contender.

Form: 169-321

(4)

Skyman¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 73

9/4

Good second of nine in handicap at Nottingham (1m½f, good to soft, 8-1) 13 days ago. Lightly-raced sort with room for further progress, on the shortlist.

Form: 55-52

(2)

Filles De Fleur^h1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott| OR: 72

20/1

Made a winning handicap debut in a 7f contest at Chelmsford before finishing third at Wolverhampton (1m½f) next under a penalty. Held since on turf and needs to improve in first-time hood here.

Form: 250-130

(11)

Thunderoad³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68

50/1

Has run some decent races in defeat for trainer Marco Botti, should have wins in him, worth market check now starting for this new handler.

Form: 0-42406

(5)

Max Guevara¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: W R Muir| OR: 65| D

33/1

Yet to spark this term, with plenty improvement needed after disappointing effort last month over a mile at Newbury. Others better placed right now.

Form: 6142-09

Padura Brave^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62| CD

12/1

Counted a C&D success amongst his pair of 2018 wins but has come up well short of that form so far this year and needs a big bounce-back to get in the mix now.

Form: 113-596

Image Of The Moon¹⁵

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: S L Keightley J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Skyman (9/4), Edaraat (3/1), In The Cove (6/1), Image Of The Moon (6/1), Songkran (13/2), Fares Poet (10/1), Jack D'Or (11/1), Padura Brave (12/1), Filles De Fleur (20/1), Max Guevara (33/1), Thunderoad (50/1)

Lingfield scorer IN THE COVE should have more progress in him and is fancied to run a big race in this follow up attempt, with the form of his success last time already boosted. There are unexposed dangers lurking in the form of Jack D'Or and Skyman while both Image Of The Moon and Fares Poet can also be given decent claims on their recent efforts.
