Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| BF| D

11/4

Lost his way after a good start to 2018 and to a certain extent has struggled to get his career back on track since. Penultimate run at Beverley suggested he was just bubbling under but failed to progress last time (not seen to best effect).

Shady Mccoy¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: James Doyle| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89| D

13/2

Sliding down the handicap but with a long losing run that indicates why that's the case. Hard to judge him on his last run (badly hampered) and this 0-90 grade at least gives him a chance; can be slow away and more needed to make an impact.

Quick Breath¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| BF| D

8/1

Came good and delivered on his previous promise this year when taking a 7f AW handicap off a 9lb lower mark in June under today's rider. Done little wrong since in two subsequent 7f handicaps (AW/turf) proving that he's capable off this mark.

Call Out Loud^t,v²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| D

7/1

The likely pace angle he's still off a slightly lesser rating on turf and ran well at Chester last time in a claimer (faced a tough task at the weights). 7f soft ground winner the time before in weaker handicap his consistency makes him a player.

Moraawed³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 87

6/4

Back up to 7f after all his 3yo runs have come at 6f this looks easier than his last two handicap tasks. Been dealt a couple of poor scenarios in his last two races; will appreciate the return to this grade; already won a 0-90 this year at 6f.

Form: 42-2140

Buckingham¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 84| D

9/1

Three-wins to his name last season but did appear to have a rather all-or-nothing nature about him. That trait has continued this year with a couple of good runs including a Lingfield turf win mixed in with some modest performances; more needed.

Forecasts

Moraawed (6/4), Qaysar (11/4), Shady Mccoy (13/2), Call Out Loud (7/1), Quick Breath (8/1), Salt Whistle Bay (8/1), Buckingham (9/1)

This represents a drop in grade for MORAAWED having had excuses for defeats in his last two starts in more exacting company than he faces here. Already successful in this grade this year he may well enjoy this return to calmer waters stepped up to 7f again a distance he started his career over. Qaysar is another who can be excused his last start with the Polytrack at Chelmsford looking far from the ideal surface and he’s better judged his Beverley third the time before. Call Out Loud will be dangerous if allowed the run of this with Quick Breath looking a consistent sort who enjoys a battle albeit one who has been a beaten favourite on his last two starts.
