My Boy Sepoy¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: A Kirby| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| CD

5/2

Recorded the fourth success of his career two starts ago over this C&D. Stepped up in class last time over the same C&D where he struggled, finishing at the rear of the nine runner field. This assignment is easier so he has to be considered.

Zzoro^t1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 77| D

9/4

Has been running consistently well recently without success. He was fourth of seven last time at Kempton (1m3f) on the AW, finishing 1¾l off the winner. Is now off a 1lb lower mark and drops down in trip. Has each-way claims.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: G & J Moore| OR: 75| C| D

8/1

Experienced operator who scored for the first time this year at Chelmsford (1m2f) on the AW on his previous start. Is rated 8lb lower on turf so if he can transfer his form across to this surface, he has a great chance here.

Swilly Sunset¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 71| D

11/1

Dual-purpose gelding who has won four times on the Flat. Switched yards earlier this year and since then he has come home down the field in his two starts, including latest at Yarmouth (1m2f) where he was fifth of seven. Others are preferred.

Form: 8625-55

Elhafei^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| BF

11/4

Remains a maiden after 10 starts. He has not been too far away on her latest four starts though, including at Yarmouth (1m2f) last time where he was third of seven after going off as the 9/4 favourite. Looks capable of success off this mark.

Rollicking³⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

10/1

Her sole success came at Windsor over 1m three starts ago. Has been unable to add to that in two runs since then. This is her first attempt at this new trip. She does need to prove her stamina, therefore, she is best watched for now.

Forecasts

Zzoro (9/4), My Boy Sepoy (5/2), Skyman (5/2), Elhafei (11/4), Quick (7/1), Secret Art (8/1), Rollicking (10/1), Swilly Sunset (11/1)

SKYMAN was impressive over this C&D last time and the manner of that success suggests he can follow up off this 6lb higher mark as he has certainly improved for the step up in distance. My Boy Sepoy was outclassed on his previous start but he is more than good enough to be in the mix here from top weight, while although Secret Act often shows his best form on the AW, he has to be respected off this mark on turf so take him to finish in the frame.
