Good second on the AW over this trip at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Failed to built on that back on turf at Brighton (6f, good-to-firm) subsequently and cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are absent for this contest.

7/2

7/1

Held in three starts in novice company including over 7f on soft ground at Haydock early last month. Gelded since and market support would be notable for a top yard on handicap debut.

18/1

Ran well to finish a close 1½L fourth in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience too much.

25/1

Improved on stable debut when finishing eighth in a 1m handicap at Carlisle (good-to-soft) last month. Probably best watched on this occasion.

Coastal Cyclone^b⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 46| D

9/1

Some decent efforts in defeat this campaign including when fifth over C&D on good ground early last month. Interesting contender following a 2lb drop in the weights.

Dubai Elegance^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 46| D

14/1

Vicky Cristina¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Barry McHugh| T: J R Holt| OR: 45

16/1

17 runner maiden has finished well held in two outings over around 1m so far this season. Others make more appeal down in trip.

50/1

13 race maiden returned from a break with a 2¾L ninth over 5f at Redcar (good) last month. Shapes as if a return to this distance will suit.

Dual AW winner most recently in a match over this trip at Lingfield in March. Out of form since however and races off a mark 2lb lower than for that victory as a result. Blinkers tried for the first time.

Forecasts

Aghast (7/2), Queen Of Kalahari (9/2), Bold Show (7/1), Coastal Cyclone (9/1), Coastal Drive (11/1), Red Tycoon (12/1), Dubai Elegance (14/1), Congress Place (14/1), Vicky Cristina (16/1), Always Amazing (18/1), Champagne Mondays (20/1), Amelia R (25/1), Grandstand (25/1), Whigwham (50/1)

AGHAST can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her to take this big field sprint handicap. The drop back in trip is in her favour and she can get the better of Queen Of Kalahari who was a winner on her most recent start while third place can go to Coastal Cyclone who ran a decent race here last time out.
