Silent Echo¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: George Wood| T: S Hodgson| OR: 97| D

22/1

Won a 6f Newmarket handicap before a fine fifth in the Wokingham and then not seen to best effect when fourth over C&D. Rare poor effort last time but quick bounce back would be no surprise.

Form: 3-21540

(8)

Walk On Walter^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 92

100/1

Scored at Bath towards the end of last season but can't really be fancied on the back of such a tame return at Windsor 13 days ago.

Form: 55014-9

(3)

Impressor^p⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: M Dwyer| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 97

20/1

Showed useful form as a juvenile, albeit seeming better with cut in the ground, and he made no impression on good ground at Sandown on return two months ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 4183-6

(12)

Cold Stare^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| D

14/1

Not badly treated and made a better fist of things for all he was only eighth at Haydock 8 days ago, not beaten far in the end. Others still look more appealing, though.

Form: 3-02908

(11)

Lexington Dash¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 95

15/2

Returned an improved model this year, winning a couple of 6f Newmarket events before a cracking effort in a 3-y-o handicap on the July course. Underperformed at Goodwood but too soon to write off.

Form: 4-21140

(18)

Danyah^h⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 93| D

11/4

Highly promising type who made an emphatic winning return in a handicap at Doncaster a couple of months ago. More expected following a break, so he boasts leading claims.

Form: 173-1

(9)

Kondratiev Wave^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 91

22/1

Won 6f Kempton event in January and even better in defeat when touched off at Lingfield in racing's first week back. Not so good in competitive events on turf since, though.

Form: 2-15209

(14)

Ice Lord⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C F Wall| OR: 86| BF

22/1

Made a pleasing return at Newmarket before seeming amiss at Doncaster. Given a break since and mark looks pretty appealing, so he's worth considering for an in-form yard.

Form: 6792-30

(5)

Boardman^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 85

100/1

Maiden winner over 1m for Pascal Bary in 2019, but has failed to beat a rival home in 2 starts for new connections this year.

Form: 2/138-60

(6)

River Nymph²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 90| D

6/1

Took his form to a new level when seeing off some more-fancied rivals at Ascot 3 weeks ago, albeit getting first run to some extent. Further progress hard to rule out.

Form: 321-381

(7)

Tranchee¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: D Loughnane| OR: 84| BF| D

16/1

Made winning start for new yard when taking a 12-runner Wolverhampton handicap (7.2f) last month. Unseated rider after stumbling out of the stalls at Catterick since. Remains of interest.

Form: 15241U

(13)

Mottrib¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 87| CD

4/1

Debut winner at this track last summer and not disgraced subsequently. No obvious reason to expect better other than that he's still relatively unexposed and in good hands.

Form: 13-25

(16)

Powertrain⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 85| D

14/1

Fairly useful as a 2yo, scoring twice, and might well have needed his comeback run at Haydock. Off a further 2 months, though, and mark demands more.

Form: 63115-5

(1)

Blackcastle Storm³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hughes| OR: 78| D

8/1

Winner at Southwell in March but good form ended when only sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 34 days ago. Engaged Newmarket 2.40 Saturday.

Form: 46-126

Forecasts

Danyah (11/4), Mottrib (4/1), River Nymph (6/1), Lexington Dash (15/2), Blackcastle Storm (8/1), Light And Dark (10/1), Zhui Feng (10/1), Cold Stare (14/1), Powertrain (14/1), Dirty Rascal (14/1), Tranchee (16/1), De Vegas Kid (16/1), Impressor (20/1), Silent Echo (22/1), Kondratiev Wave (22/1), Ice Lord (22/1), Boardman (100/1), Walk On Walter (100/1)

DANYAH forged away in ready style at Doncaster on his reappearance and, having wisely been granted time to get over that, he makes plenty of appeal up against mostly more exposed types following a 10-lb rise. Ascot-winner River Nymph is the chief threat ahead of Tranchee.
