9/1

Winning for the seventh time on turf when successful by ½L in a 7f handicap at Catterick (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Carries a 5lb penalty for that success and has to prove his stamina stepping up in distance.

7/2

Returning from a break when finishing fourth in a 1m handicap at Sandown (good-to-firm) a fortnight ago. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and is now rated just 1lb higher than for his sole handicap triumph.

Form: 0-52274

4/1

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when winning over this trip at Brighton (good-to-firm) a month ago. Raised 4b for that success and is interesting on just her fourth appearance on turf.

Form: 54-5091

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62| D

7/1

Struggled in six starts for previous stable but well handicapped on his old form and worth a check in the market on stable debut.

Form: 00-0997

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Quinn| T: J Mackie| OR: 57

28/1

Well beaten on final start of 2018 and it's been a similar story in two starts this campaign. Races off a mark 7lb lower than for his only previous victory.

Salam Zayed⁷^{(ex 6)}

2/1

Appeared to appreciate the drop in trip when winning by 1L over an extended 7f at Chester (good) last time out. Remains open to improvement and is one for the shortlist under a 6lb penalty.

Form: 06-4901

Vincenzo Coccotti^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 51

14/1

Best effort this campaign came when finishing 5L second in a 7f selling handicap at Lingfield (good-to-firm) last week. Interesting to see how he fares on first start at this distance in over four years.

Form: 4-08802

Foxy Rebel¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45| CD

11/1

C&D winner was placed in this race 12 months ago. Ran well to finish third in a 1m handicap at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) on his most recent appearance but likely more needed if he is to take this event.

Form: 90-4553

Forecasts

Salam Zayed (2/1), Baashiq (7/2), Duchess Of Avon (4/1), Admodum (7/1), Shamaheart (8/1), Mr Strutter (9/1), Foxy Rebel (11/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (14/1), Lady Rouda (25/1), Kings Academy (28/1)

SALAM ZAYED impressed in winning last time out and with further improvement likely he is taken to follow-up that Chester success with victory in the concluding race on the card. Duchess Of Avon is another to have tasted success on her most recent outing and she can finish runner-up ahead of Shamaheart who showed signs he may be returning to form when fifth last time out.
