Tabarrak⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 108| D

13/2

Has a decent strike-rate on turf with six wins from 19 starts, with his latest success coming last October at Redcar (7f). He has been well held on his two runs in 2019, including at Newmarket (7f) on his most recent outing. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 4511-46

Oh This Is Us²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| CD

8/1

A C&D winner who was successful twice on the AW earlier this year, while he has been running consistently well on turf recently without success. Was fifth of eight last time at Pontefract (1m). Down in trip and drops 3lb. Leading player.

Zhui Feng^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 98| C

12/1

Yet to score this season, however, he has gone close on a couple of occasions, including on his latest outing when second of 10 at Ascot (1m). Dropping down slightly in trip with a 1lb higher mark here. Should be in contention.

Form: 305902

Salute The Soldier²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 98| D

5/1

Won twice at the back end of 2018 on the AW but he is looking for his opening success on turf. He has come very close twice this season, including on latest start where he was second of 17 over this C&D, beaten a neck. Likely to be in the mix here.

Form: 2-D2082

Gossiping²²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 97| CD

5/1

C&D winner who has been in the best form of his career this year with three wins from his last four runs. He had to settle for seventh of 20 last time at this track over 1m. Is down in trip but remains off the same mark so he does need to find more.

Form: 0-01117

Lake Volta⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 97| C| D

6/1

Has had a busy campaign so far where he has been able to record two victories from his 13 starts. He was eighth of 17 on his latest attempt at Ripon (6f). Up in distance here off a 2lb lower mark. Others are preferred.

Form: 052978

Cliffs Of Capri^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 94| D

10/1

Has made a modest start to his campaign with his three starts. He was fourth of 18 last time here over this C&D where he was just 1¾L behind the winner. Remains off the same mark so another big effort can be expected.

Form: 430334

Sanaadh^t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: R Havlin| T: M Wigham| OR: 93| D

28/1

Scored on the AW back in March but has been unsuccessful in three attempts on turf this year. He did put in an improved performance on his latest start at Newmarket (7f) where he was just 3L away in eighth place of 17. Others appeal more.

Form: 341008

Kimifive²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: J Tuite| OR: 92| CD

5/1

A C&D winner back in May but his form recently has been poor as he has struggled off his latest mark. Could only come home 10th of 27 last time at this track over 6f. Up in trip here but needs to improve on what he has shown recently.

Form: 776200

Pattie⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 89| D

12/1

Returned to winning ways last time at Newbury over this distance where she scored by just a head in a close finish. Has gone up 3lb for that latest success so she will need a career best here but cannot be ruled out at producing it.

Form: 793851

Dutch Treat¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A M Balding| OR: 94| D

33/1

Her sole success came at Yarmouth over 7f in August 2018. This will be only her second run of the season and it comes after finishing 11th of 15 on her seasonal reappearance at Newbury (7f). Has been dropped 1lb in weights but difficult to fancy.

Form: 21256-0

Presidential^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 87| D

25/1

Without a win this year but he has come close on a couple of occasions, including latest at Doncaster (7f) when second of 10, beaten by a neck. Has gone up 2lb by the handicapper but he has each-way claims here.

Form: 795292

Forecasts

Salute The Soldier (5/1), Kimifive (5/1), Gossiping (5/1), Lake Volta (6/1), Tabarrak (13/2), Oh This Is Us (8/1), Cliffs Of Capri (10/1), Zhui Feng (12/1), Pattie (12/1), Presidential (25/1), Sanaadh (28/1), Dutch Treat (33/1)

OH THIS IS US has not been far away on a number of occasions this season on turf but off this latest mark he has been given a great opportunity to score once again over this C&D in what is a very competitive contest. Salute The Soldier looks to be the biggest challenger as he is getting closer to his opening win on turf and is unlikely to be far away here, while Pattie is bidding to follow up her latest success at Newbury and should be in the mix despite a 3lb rise in the weights.
