Motakhayyel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 98| D

4/1

Unlucky not to be unbeaten in four starts, only narrowly denied at Yarmouth two runs ago. Made all in fine fashion when back up in trip at Newmarket last time out and only up 6lb for that; well bred and more to come.

Form: 1-121

(2)

Wings Of Time¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 96| D

7/2

Narrowly got up on handicap debut at Newmarket last time out having shown plenty in two previous starts this year. Front two pulled clear and he may still have more to give.

Form: 7-121

(6)

Kuwait Currency⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 93| D

9/1

Listed winner on just his third start when winning at Salisbury as a juvenile but hasn't gone on from that. Showed some signs of a return to form at Newmarket last time and feasibly handicapped if he can build on that run.

Form: 50-7604

Flashcard¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 91

3/1

Won a pair of novice events at Salisbury as a juvenile but has found this year's switch to handicaps tough. Well beaten second to Motakhayyel at Newmarket last time and not guaranteed to reverse the form, despite arriving better off at the weights.

Form: 112-652

Rectory Road¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 87| D

12/1

Made it two wins from three starts in novice company at Kempton last time. Handicapper taken no chances with his opening mark but unexposed on turf debut here back up in trip.

Form: 1-61

(3)

Sash¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 87| D

15/2

Made it two wins from seven starts at Windsor last time out and there could be more to come at this sort of trip given how he won eased down. 7lb rise perfectly fair for that and holds solid claims here.

Form: 26-1561

(8)

Prince Of Harts¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: B R Millman| OR: 83| D

4/1

Two wins from nine starts and while his best turf efforts have come with cut in the ground, he ran well in defeat over C&D last time out. This looks a bit tougher but has each-way claims again from the same handicap mark.

Flashcard (3/1), Wings Of Time (7/2), Prince Of Harts (4/1), Motakhayyel (4/1), Beatboxer (5/1), Sash (15/2), Kuwait Currency (9/1), Rectory Road (12/1)

It might be worth siding with SASH who won with plenty in hand at Windsor last time out and the stiff finish off this track should suit given his ability to stay further than this. Motakhayyel only has a 6lb rise in the weights to cope with while Wings Of Time may be able to build on his run last time out.
