Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy| BF

Mantovani²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: H FryWS

8/1

Showed decent form in novice/maiden company for previous yard in spring 2018 and ran well when placed over hurdles at Exeter (2m1f, good-to-soft) in November of that year. Disappointed next time and is making his first start since wind surgery.

Form: 44-

Master of The Moon³⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 68

16/1

Signs of ability in four starts so far most recently when 4L fifth in a 1m4f handicap at Lingfield earlier this month. First start since being gelded on that occasion and is worth a check in the market.

Form: 5645-

Passing Clouds²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 46

50/1

22 race maiden was beaten off a mark of 46 in a handicap over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good-to-firm) on his penultimate start. Others make more appeal.

Alignak²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 85| BF

6/4

Good second in a 1m2f novice race at Salisbury (good-to-firm) in May but disappointed when odds-on favourite at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) last month on his only subsequent start. Better expected dropping back in distance.

Form: 8-23

Omnivega^h1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 79

3/1

Signs of ability in two starts last year but was beaten 15L when third of six on his belated seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) last month. Hood tried for the first time.

Form: 76-3

Prime Approach^v⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: B R Johnson

150/1

Struggled in three starts so far including when 58L last of eight over 1m6f at Goodwood (good) in June. Visor worn for the first time that day is retained on first start back from a break.

Form: 008

Que Quieres²⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow

100/1

Beaten a minimum of 17L in two starts over 1m late last year most recently when last of 14 over C&D in December. Others make more appeal upped in trip on first start since being gelded.

Form: 00-

Sea It My Way¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe

16/1

Stepped up markedly on debut effort when finishing fourth in a 1m2f novice race at Chelmsford earlier this month. Interesting to see if he can replicate that effort on this occasion.

Form: 04

Noble Music¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 77

10/3

Placed on all three starts so far including when 1L third in a maiden over an extended 1m3f at Haydock (soft) earlier this month. Notable runner on first start on this surface.

Form: 323

Ruby Wine²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: J Scott

100/1

Promising fourth in a 1m2f novice race at Windsor (good-to-firm) on debut early last month but struggled upped to 1m4f at Ffos Las (good) subsequently. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 44

Forecasts

Alignak (6/4), Omnivega (3/1), Noble Music (10/3), Mantovani (8/1), Master of The Moon (16/1), Sea It My Way (16/1), Disciple (33/1), Passing Clouds (50/1), Que Quieres (100/1), Ruby Wine (100/1), Prime Approach (150/1)

ALIGNAK sets the standard on form and with the drop in trip here a positive he can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this novice contest. Sir Michael Stoute's charge had run well when runner-up prior to that and a repeat of that can see him get the better of Noble Music who performed well when third on soft ground on her most recent start. Third can go to Mantovani who showed decent form in this sphere in 2018.
