Cousin Khee¹⁹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr William Clesham⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 65

50/1

Veteran soon to be teenager returns from six months off here and is probably best watched with hurdles exploits better these days.

Form: 670337-

(6)

Outcrop¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Ryan Holmes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 65

16/1

Been in decent form over hurdles and returns to the level for first time in well over a year a potentially improved horse. Not sure he wants soft ground ideally but certainly one of the more appealing runners in a weak race.

Form: 721/590-

(9)

Bazooka^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr C A Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: D Flood| OR: 65| C

28/1

Never involved back on the level at Lingfield last time out and recent chase and hurdle exploits also suggest him out of sorts.

Form: 9608-58

(3)

Power Home²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Jerome Power⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 64

20/1

AW specialist (0-3 turf) recently reappeared at Kempton where she looked in need of the run. May strip fitter now but more appealing on synthetic surfaces.

Form: 541140

(14)

Banksy's Art¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Jamie Perrett⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 60| BF

15/2

Still only won once but plenty of his summer form suggests this mark well within range. Withdrawn on heavy in the past so would want ground to dry out a little here.

Form: 426358

(1)

L'Un Deux Trois³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 65

11/1

Seven-race maiden showed promise earlier this season although that seems to have petered out now. Unraced on soft ground; needs something to click.

Form: 428486

(15)

Country'n'western¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: George Eddery⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 60

8/1

Three-time winner's last success came at Southwell in December. Hit and miss since but turf form certainly less compelling than AW in recent times and others more appealing.

Form: 744706

(2)

Onomatopoeia²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Nathan McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: C Poulton| OR: 60

66/1

Last of 11 and 12th of 14 since sent handicapping and this maiden has a lot to prove at this juncture.

Form: 96/300

(8)

Milan Reef⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: B Roberts⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 59

9/4

Made all to win impressively over 7f at Leicester two starts back before fading under similar tactics over 1m at Bath. Never raced over this far but second over 1m2f in only try at that trip so could stay and danger to all with a soft lead.

Form: 323617

(10)

Essenaitch^v³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr P Thomas⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 58| C

8/1

0-12 since winning on soft ground at Chepstow in June 2018 (beat Power Home by 2¼L); has plenty to prove at present; others preferred.

Form: 9-63539

(12)

Spirit Of Angel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr G Tregoning⁽⁷⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 62

7/1

AW winner not disgraced in turf debut at Brighton latest when sixth of 15 over 1m2f on good to soft ground. Can build on that and highly respected here.

Form: 319546

(13)

King Athelstan^b³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr George Gorman⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57

14/1

1m4f winner at Brighton last time out and only raised 3lb for the score. That on good to firm and he's relatively untested on soft conditions but probably the one to beat if handling them.

Form: 630751

(11)

Para Queen¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr J Harding| T: H Main| OR: 51| CD

8/1

25/1 winner here on handicap debut over C&D on good ground. Respectable effort over 1m4f at Southwell latest and one to consider although soft ground a complete unknown at this stage.

Form: 0-8616

(5)

Highway Robbery^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46

16/1

Lingfield winner probably marginally better on AW. Mostly quite consistent without winning since but on soft ground for the first time he may struggle.

Form: 153635

Milan Reef (9/4), Spirit Of Angel (7/1), Banksy's Art (15/2), Para Queen (8/1), Essenaitch (8/1), Country'n'western (8/1), L'Un Deux Trois (11/1), King Athelstan (14/1), Outcrop (16/1), Highway Robbery (16/1), Power Home (20/1), Thermal (25/1), Bazooka (28/1), Cousin Khee (50/1), Onomatopoeia (66/1)

In a very weak contest where solid recent form is very sparse KING ATHELSTAN is chanced on unfamiliar ground having won at Brighton last time out. Unexposed on turf; Spirit Of Angel ran well enough last time to merit respect. Hurdler Outcrop is also on the shortlist.
