Garth Rockett^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: M Murphy| OR: 55| CD

9/1

All four wins have come at this trip, including over C&D in 2017. Out of sorts since April and has dropped 10lb but still doesn't appear to be an obvious winner-in-waiting.

Form: 1-38997

Spanish Mane⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 49| CD

7/1

Emerged from the doldrums to land a shock 33/1 success last week over C&D last time out, battling home in a bobbing finish. Carries 5lb penalty and is no model of consistency but cannot be ruled out of the equation.

Form: 3F0901

Bidding War^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 52| BF

10/1

13-race maiden but looked capable of winning a race when runner-up at two-length third in Doncaster 7f h'cap last month. Normal service resumed last time though when favourite and last of 10 at Chelmsford where possibly failed to stay 1m2f.

Form: 604530

Little Miss Kodi^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51| D

10/1

Only 2-38 but has gone close on a number of other occasions including last time when caught close home over this trip at Chepstow. Up 2lb but should be competitive if in a similar mood.

Form: 427602

Global Acclamation^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 55

7/2

Sole victory came in 6f Chelmsford handicap in February. Solid efforts last three outings, the last two over C&D. Champion jockey booked so no surprise to see him go well.

Moretti⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 46

12/1

Frustrating filly who has yet to score in 18 starts. Slightly hampered at vital stage at Thirsk last time before rallying to finish third. May not be far away but clearly finds winning a tough task.

Form: 980-673

One Flew Over^p1³⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45

16/1

Has hinted he should be up to winning a small race but has still yet to reach a place. Patently failed to stay 1m3f last time, a year ago, having finished fourth in Epsom 7f h'cap previous start when made favourite. Long absence to overcome.

Conqueress^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 45| D

40/1

Three years since sole win in Lingfield 7f maiden and hasn't ever looked liked wining a race in the eight starts since she joined current yard. Hard to fancy.

Form: 896059

Herringswell²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 45| CD

20/1

Course and distance handicap winner on handicap bow off 55 thirteen months ago. Form has deteriorated in 13 starts since then and has been well beaten recent starts off around this mark. Very hard to see her winning.

Form: 750900

(11)

Gulland Rock^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Eight wins to his name but not since May of last year has he hit the target. Has failed to make any impression in five starts this term and others are preferred despite presence of promising apprentice claiming 7lb.

Form: 0-05966

My Footsteps⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Keniry| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 45

40/1

Two starts in bumpers with little promise prior to racing on Flat with equally limited success. Gelded prior to latest run when weakened over 1f out over Brighton mile. Drop back may help but needs to take a big step forward to figure.

Form: 9808

Tilsworth Prisca^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Toby Eley⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

66/1

1lb out of the handicap and has yet to reach even a place in 10 efforts so far. Beaten 26 lengths over C&D last time out.

Form: 50-9040

(3)

Parknacilla^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 48

7/1

Stable companion of Herringswell. Modest maiden but has run well in defeat last two placed starts at Bath. Strongly run 7f may suit and has potential place prospects if in similar mood.

Form: 540932

(4)

Exning Queen^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46

25/1

Very modest form all five starts but ran better than eventual position suggests last time when lost 8 lengths at start and was beaten only five lengths at finish over 6f. Not a complete no-hoper.

Form: 89684

Lottie Deno³⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 46

7/2

Three starts for John David Riches showing little in novice events at up to 7f. Makes debut for new yard and could hardly go handicapping off a lower mark. Hard to see her playing a major role.

Forecasts

Global Acclamation (7/2), Lottie Deno (7/2), Master Poet (4/1), Parknacilla (7/1), Spanish Mane (7/1), Garth Rockett (9/1), Little Miss Kodi (10/1), Bidding War (10/1), Moretti (12/1), One Flew Over (16/1), Herringswell (20/1), Gulland Rock (25/1), Exning Queen (25/1), Conqueress (40/1), My Footsteps (40/1), Tilsworth Prisca (66/1)

Most of these are woefully out of form or of very limited ability, but Master Poet put up an improved effort on soft ground last time and with Ryan Moore taking over may be persuaded to go and land the spoils. Spanish Mane won over C&D and should give it another bold shot under his penalty, and Little MIss Kodi, Global Acclamation, and Bidding War are not out of it on recent form either. If fit from a long absence One Flew Over could be the dark horse with first-time cheekpieces applied. He had enough form in the book when last seen to give him a decent chance.
