Enmeshing^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 60| CD

5/1

C&D winner in December beaten just a neck when second over 1m2f at Lingfield last time out and again expecting a very bold bid,

Form: 70317-2

Liva²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 59

14/1

Ran six lifeless races since winning a Musselburgh handicap hurdle in March last year and has to be considered a highly risky proposition now.

Tulane^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: R T Phillips| OR: 57

6/4

Maiden looks to be getting very close to that so far elusive win after recent seconds here (1m6f) and at Kempton (1m4f). Everything appears in place for him today.

Sunshineandbubbles²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: P D Evans| OR: 56| CD

9/1

Five-time course winner has won over the distance although generally better at around 1m1f. Certainly in good form at present and rarely far away here.

Last Enchantment^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 56

12/1

Lone win in 29 starts was back in May 2018 and although she has run some solid races since she is hardly one to be confident in.

Necoleta^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Elinor Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 59| C

14/1

1m1½f winner here looked a non-stayer over 1m6f last time out but strangely trying this trip for the first time. Could very easily make her presence felt now.

Form: 74515-8

Shamrad²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54

20/1

Unexposed handicap debutant beaten double digit lengths in all three starts but going up drastically in trip. Market support would be very notable.

Cape Agulhas^p,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: W J Martin| OR: 50

8/1

Long-standing maiden placed twice at Southwell since joining this yard but less compelling elsewhere and has to be approached with a degree of trepidation away from the Fibresand.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 51

50/1

Placed in last two for Joseph O'Brien but basically a no-show since joining this yard. Trying a new trip so market support would make him more interesting.

14/1

Won twice here in 2018 (1m½f and 7f) but less compelling form since and this trip beyond his best.

Forecasts

Tulane (6/4), Enmeshing (5/1), Cape Agulhas (8/1), Sunshineandbubbles (9/1), Last Enchantment (12/1), Lyford (12/1), Liva (14/1), Final Attack (14/1), Necoleta (14/1), True Thoughts (14/1), Shamrad (20/1), But I Like It (50/1)

After a couple of solid recent seconds this looks the day for maiden TULANE to get off the mark at the expense of ultra-consistent Enmeshing who ran well again last time out. Best of the rest looks to be Sunshineandbubbles who does just about stay 1m4f; she loves this course.
