Joegogo¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 80| D

10/1

Generally better on the AW and over a shorter trip but was in good form at the end of last season and is capable of going well fresh. Chances but others preferred.

Form: 47-3123

Oeil De Tigre¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss S A Coll⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78| CD

6/1

Best effort last season came over 6f in a valuable handicap when finishing runner-up in the consolation Stewards Cup. Now back on a winning mark and very much respected under the conditions though could arguably have been better drawn.

Form: 900-604

Good Luck Fox^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

4/1

Dual winner last season and has been slowly racing in to form this term with his best effort coming last time out at Ripon when beaten by 1L over 5f. Might not want the ground to dry out too much as he likes a bit of cut.

Form: 0-06502

Major Valentine³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Kate Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 73| CD

13/2

Two of his last three victoires have come over this course and distance and showed his recent well being when not beaten far at Salisbury last month. Goes well for an inexperienced jockey and one to note.

Form: 8-13183

Strawberry Jack^t,v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 78

9/2

Dropping back in trip having been running fairly well up to a mile winning over 7f at Yarmouth at the end of May. Disappointed over a mile last time out and difficult to assess over this shorter trip.

Form: 233147

Mama Africa^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 66

16/1

Very inconsistent but not with talent. Mainly campaigned over a mile and was sent even further on her debut for new connections last time out at Goodwood. Hard to make a confident case for dropping down in trip.

Form: 727510

Princely¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 64| D

4/1

Campaigned to little efect on the AW during the winter but new connections seem to be getting a better tune out of him based on two decent runs at Salisbury and over this course and distance. Ideally drawn and should go close.

Form: 668524

Kinglami^p⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 64| CD

6/1

Won a handicap over course and distance around this time last year and has been consistent since without scoring again including over today's trip two start ago. Decent chance if everything falls right for him.

Form: 29-7536

Forecasts

Princely (4/1), Good Luck Fox (4/1), Strawberry Jack (9/2), Oeil De Tigre (6/1), Kinglami (6/1), Major Valentine (13/2), Joegogo (10/1), Mama Africa (16/1), Gottardo (20/1)

Not beaten far last time out at Windsor OEIL DE TIGRE can get back to winning ways after over a year out of the winner's enclosure and will relish the ground riding any faster than expected going. Good Luck Fox, conversely, will not want the ground to dry out too much for him to put his best foot forward. but he is in good form and should go well. Princely is well drawn and his recent form has been good enough to see him go close in this contest for his new connections.
