13/2

Still a maiden but second at Kempton (7f) and third at Wolverhampton (1m½f) the last twice suggest his time will soon come. Certainly one to consider in a wide-open contest.

9/2

Stable debut and return to the Flat not without promise here as he finished fifth over 1m1½f at Wolverhampton 23 days ago. Not sure dropping back to this trip is ideal however and draw a further negative.

7/1

Well travelled six-time winner won off higher marks in the past. Running on C&D fourth latest doesn't give him much to find and certainly an EW option today.

5/1

Unplaced in six since winning a seller for Paul Howling and signs are that days before turning 10 he is in decline now.

16/1

13-race maiden ran well to be second here over 1m two back before flopping in a similar contest. That illustrates well her inconsistency at this stage.

Prince Rock¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 52| BF| CD

7/2

Deservedly off the mark here in November over C&D and only beaten ¾L here subsequently off this 6lb higher mark. Going from strength to strength and highly respected again.

Elusif¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M Dwyer| T: S L Keightley| OR: 52| D

6/1

Had several of today's rivals behind when a neck second to Axel Jacklin over C&D latest. Upped 2lb for that success but leading claims if able to negotiate stall number 1.

16/1

C&D win over a year ago remains his lone score and although rarely disgraced since he has done little to suggest imminent victory; others preferred.

Alisia R⁴²

33/1

5f Musselburgh winner ran well over that trip at Southwell latest. Not tried this distance since the spring but appeared a non-stayer then.

Come On Bear¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A Bailey| OR: 45

16/1

Six-race maiden but getting closer in the summer when last seen. Layoff since raises a few doubts and the market now may prove a help.

Form: 49-9446

Roca Magica¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 45

20/1

Long standing maiden whose lone placed effort came well over a year ago. Getting no nearer and makes little appeal.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

66/1

Made the frame for the third time in 15 starts here two races back although even then she was beaten over 6L. May some day break her maiden tag but from 1lb out of the handicap in stall 14 doubt it's today.

Forecasts

Maqboola (11/4), Prince Rock (7/2), Zayriyan (9/2), Declamation (5/1), Elusif (6/1), Disruptor (13/2), Vincenzo Coccotti (7/1), Come On Bear (16/1), My Law (16/1), Keep It Country Tv (16/1), Roca Magica (20/1), Alisia R (33/1), Ramblow (33/1), Yfenni (66/1)

There is precious little to choose between PRINCE ROCK and Elusif on their second and third placed finishes here last time out and once again they are leading candidates today with slight preference for the former. If Saturday's cosy winner Maqboola runs under penalty she ought to go close also.
