Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 59| D

Decent third over C&D on good-to-firm ground at the start of May. Return to this trip should suit following a sixth over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last time out.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 60

5/2

Promising 6L fourth on the fibresand at Southwell (7f) when making his handicap debut in May. Remains open to improvement stepping up in distance on turf debut.

Form: 7600-4

(7)

Bonny Blue¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 55

12/1

Well beaten 18L third in a 5f maiden on firm ground here earlier this month. Struggled on only previous handicap start and others make more appeal stepping up in distance.

Form: 8-9403

(6)

Sea Tea Dea⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Wintle| OR: 45

25/1

Won just once from 31 career starts but performed well when fourth over 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) early last month. Best form has come over shorter than this trip and she is racing from out of the handicap in this event.

Form: 3-58054

(3)

Ramblow^t,v⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Amelia Glass⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 45| D

50/1

Out of form this season including when seventh over C&D on firm ground in May. Well handicapped on old form but probably best watched from out of the weights on return from a break.

Form: 0-86807

Forecasts

The Game Is On (5/2), Red Gunner (3/1), Imperial Act (5/1), King Oswald (5/1), Tally's Son (8/1), Johni Boxit (10/1), Bonny Blue (12/1), The British Lion (20/1), Sea Tea Dea (25/1), Ramblow (50/1)

THE GAME IS ON showed ability on handicap earlier this year and stepping up in trip he can get off the mark on his first start on turf. The selection looks capable of getting the better of his rivals here with King Oswald capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Johni Boxit who should appreciate the return to this distance.
