Philamundo^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: R Spencer| OR: 78| CD

7/1

Dual C&D winner a neck away from making that three here latest. Raised 1lb so really has a welter burden now but every chance he can overcome it.

Form: 630652

Al Reeh^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 73

7/1

Good second in a 1m handicap at Kempton in January. Struggled at Newmarket (1m, good-to-soft) a month ago on only subsequent start and is a notable runner on AW return.

Form: 2662-20

Lady Of Aran³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 72

4/1

7f Kempton novice winner in October 2017 failed to fire in first two after a long absence but took a notable step forward latest when a never nearer third of 12 over this trip at Haydock. Really interesting now off the same mark.

Form: 212/793

Glory Awaits^b¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| CD

20/1

Dual C&D winner but only sixth here latest and given Philamundo finished second that rival is obviously the more appealing here.

Form: 027476

Camelot Rakti⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Louis Steward| T: J Tate| OR: 77

8/1

1m½f Wolverhampton winner last October ran well twice subsequently in 1m handicaps before struggling badly upped to 1m2f and on soft latest. Back with ideal conditions today she isn't one to rule out.

Form: 0412-45

Love Your Work^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West| OR: 74| D

33/1

Dual Fibresand winner at Southwell but record elsewhere less compelling and after pretty dismal efforts here and at Kempton the last twice he's easily passed over.

Form: 018706

(9)

In The Cove⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: F Sweeney| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

16/1

Dual AW winner and based on his decent third at Newbury latest he should still be competitive here despite handicap mark remaining on an upward curve.

Form: 9-32153

Black Medick⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 72| D

33/1

Had looked to be going nowhere until springing a 33-1 surprise at Windsor two starts back. Below that effort latest when fifth at Sandown but only previous win came on AW so return to the surface here may help.

Form: 605515

(7)

Filles De Fleur²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: George Scott| OR: 71| C

33/1

Raised 6lb for her win here over 7f earlier in the season and has struggled generally since. First time back since that win so will be hoping that course can bring about a revival.

Form: 50-1307

(12)

Indian Sounds^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

12/1

Out of the frame in all seven starts since winning at Kempton last September and even though his fifth here latest may have been the best of them first-time blinkers would be the best hope today.

Form: 8-98685

(4)

Alma Linda^p1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 67

7/4

Unplaced in three starts to date but has shown ability in each of them. First-time in a handicap for red-hot yard and could very easily see a completely different performance here; very interesting sort.

Form: 4-56

Forecasts

Alma Linda (7/4), Lady Of Aran (4/1), Philamundo (7/1), Al Reeh (7/1), Camelot Rakti (8/1), Rakematiz (10/1), Indian Sounds (12/1), In The Cove (16/1), Glory Awaits (20/1), Filles De Fleur (33/1), Love Your Work (33/1), Black Medick (33/1)

In what is an otherwise trappy contest a chance here is taken on handicap debutant ALMA LINDA for the flying yard of Sir Mark Prescott who excel with such sorts. Course specialist Philamundo will give it a good go off top-weight and Lady Of Aran is also interesting after a resurgent effort last time out at Haydock.
