Capricorn Prince^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 53

7/2

Got off the mark at the seventh attempt at Kemtpton (1m4f) in a similar event last Saturday, where he was all out to hold on after going clear. Didn't run badly over this C&D three runs back and has to be respected.

Form: 00657-1

Cat Royale^b⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 51| CD

4/1

Another front-runner who won over C&D nine days ago in an identical contest. Has never won two on the bounce and is more exposed than some but evidently in good heart and likely to make a bold bid.

Form: 55552-1

Candesta^b,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 47| C

50/1

Has been disappointing in all five starts since winning at Southwell (1m) in December 2018. Beaten 14L and 28L on his two runs since a 259-day break and hard to be enthusiastic on that evidence.

Form: 1/08000-

Kerrera⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D K Ivory| OR: 49| C

7/2

Ran well on two of her last three outings here, winning over 1m before going down by ¾L to Cat Royale over C&D last week. Hasn't had too many races for a mare her age and has place claims once again.

Form: 70816-2

Molten Lava^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: S Gollings| OR: 45| C

12/1

Winner over 1m here in October 2018 and his form was a mixed bag last year. Is 6lb better for a 3L third over C&D with Cat Royale last week but his record of 0-17 over 1m1f or further is a cause for concern. Others more persuasive.

Form: 79764-3

Muzaawel³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Fahy| T: R J Smith| OR: 50

14/1

Godolphin cast-off; joined this trainer for £6,000 in October 2018. Made his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m½f) last month when eighth, beaten 5½L and further improvement is required again, for all he is unexposed.

Form: 5/988-

Tebay⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: J R Best| OR: 47| BF

7/2

Maiden after 13 starts. Ran creditably when third on stable debut two runs ago at Kempton (1m) but was still beaten 7¼L. Disappointing again over C&D shortly afterwards and others are preferred.

Form: 797038-

Tilsworth Lukey¹⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 46| CD

14/1

One win in 27 starts (over C&D). One or two bits form last year that would entitle him to some sort of chance but hasn't got a good record when fresh and, back from a 151-day layoff, is best watched unless there is market positivity.

Form: 052673-

Windsorlot³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 43| D

25/1

Won off a mark of 59 in July 2018 but has mostly been on the downgrade since then. Beaten 64L on his last two runs, both over hurdles, and needs to show some signs of a revival now back on the level.

Form: 049558-

(2)

Anything For You⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 48

20/1

Showed precious little on her first three starts and that didn't change when making her handicap debut over C&D seven weeks ago, beating just two home and being 17½L adrift.

Form: 7080-

(10)

Hurricane Heidi³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 30

66/1

Had failed to beat any rival home in first three starts and not much better when eighth of ten here (7f) last month in a classified event. Upped in trip but faces a tough task once more.

Form: 0088-

Louisiana Beat⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Murphy| OR: 45

20/1

Posted a career best effort at Kempton (1m4f) last Saturday behind Capricorn Prince when finishing fifth, beaten 5L, despite being too keen as a result of her saddle slipping. Only had seven starts and potential for a little improvement.

Form: 09/769-5

Forecasts

Tebay (7/2), Kerrera (7/2), Capricorn Prince (7/2), Cat Royale (4/1), Molten Lava (12/1), Muzaawel (14/1), Tilsworth Lukey (14/1), Louisiana Beat (20/1), Anything For You (20/1), Windsorlot (25/1), Candesta (50/1), Hurricane Heidi (66/1)

A low grade affair when those with recent form are likely to dominate. CAPRICORN PRINCE and Cat Royale have both won in recent days but preference for the former who is far more unexposed, thus open to further improvement and may be suited by the drop back in trip. Kerrera wasn't far behind Cat Royale last time and is better off at the weights here whilst Louisiana Beat ran better than her finishing position suggested last time.
