66/1

Well held on both starts so far most recently when 37L last of ten over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) last month. Looks up against it in this event.

Form: 4-0

Aquascape²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 79

11/10

Making his first start since wind surgery when beaten a short-head off a mark of 74 in a 1m2f event on handicap debut at Goodwood (good-to-firm) just under a month ago. Likely to play a leading role once more.

Form: 43-2

Ridgeway¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

10/1

Slowly away prior to finishing a fair 6¼L sixth in a 1m2f maiden on the AW at Lingfield in March. Interesting to see how he fares on his first start on turf.

Form: 6

Tenfold¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: M Meade| OR: 80

11/10

Stepped up on previous efforts when finishing 1½L second in a three runner 1m6f event at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) on handicap debut at the end of last month. Drop in trip not certain to suit returning to maiden company.

Form: 5-52

Forecasts

Aquascape (11/10), Tenfold (11/10), Ridgeway (10/1), Yer Tekkin Mick (66/1)

AQUASCAPE was narrowly beaten in a handicap event last time out and he can break his maiden at the fourth time of asking by taking this small field maiden event. Tenfold is another to have run well in handicap company last time out and he can claim second spot dropping back in distance while third place can go to Ridgeway who ran on the AW at Lingfield on his only previous start.
