Guroor³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 62

13/8

Yet to score in 11 attempts, however, her last two performances indicate her first win is not far away. She finished second of 11 last time over this C&D, beaten by 1¼L. Remains off the same mark here. One to consider.

Zamani⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽³⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 62

9/2

Has won twice in Germany. He made his debut in the UK last time on his first run for his new yard where he finished third of 15 at Brighton (1m2f). Is now up in distance. Worth consideration.

Charlie Arthur¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 62

9/2

Broke his maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time out on what was his seventh racecourse appearance. He was green in the closing stages so there could be more to come here on this step up in trip. Big player.

Hooflepuff^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 60| BF| CDWS

9/2

Scored over this C&D two runs ago where the margin of victory was 4½L. Was unable to follow it up at Newcastle (1m4½f) last time as he was fourth of 10. Has since had a wind-op. One for the shortlist.

Swerved¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 54

25/1

Yet to score in six attempts. Her form has got worse with each start this year. She had just one horse behind her in an 11 runner field at Thirsk (1m4f) last time. Is down a further 3lb now but is hard to fancy on recent appearances.

Form: 394-470

Quare Lucky^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Cox| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52

50/1

Is 0-10 so far in her career. She was fifth of nine on her latest outing at Chepstow (1m2f). Will wear cheekpieces for the first time here on her opening start for her new yard. Best to watch at this new trip.

Waterproof^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 49| BF

9/1

Came close to his opening victory at Kempton (1m4f) on his penultimate start as he was second of 14 runners. Went off as the 9/2 joint-favourite last time but could only finish ninth of 13 at Chelsmford (1m2f). Looks capable off this mark.

Sinndarella^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Toby Eley⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 47

16/1

Still looking for his first win after 12 runs. She finished fifth of 14 last time at Kempton over 2m. Is stepping back down in trip where she has fared well at before. Now 1lb better off in the weights. Has an each-way chance.

Form: 623245

Riverina^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 46

33/1

Has shown very little encouragement in her nine starts so far. She had just one horse behind her in an nine runner contest at Kempton (2m) on her latest outing. Down a further 2lb now. Difficult to make a case for.

Forecasts

Guroor (13/8), Charlie Arthur (9/2), Hooflepuff (9/2), Zamani (9/2), Waterproof (9/1), Sinndarella (16/1), Swerved (25/1), Little Tipple (25/1), Riverina (33/1), Quare Lucky (50/1)

CHARLIE ARTHUR showed he was capable of success when he scored at Chelmsford last time out. He is now stepping up in trip but he has shaped like he will appreciate it so take him to follow up here. Guroor was second over this C&D off this mark on her latest start so expect to see her close by at the finish. while Hooflepuff knows how to score over this C&D and can fill the placings as he looks to repeat his feat off his latest mark.
