Flavius Titus^v1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 85| C| D

14/1

Scored off a higher mark last season but seemingly going through the motions so far this term, down the field at York last time. Visor the new headgear of choice now.

Form: 08-0090

Nigel Nott¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: M Appleby| OR: 84

8/1

Won pair of AW novices for David Simcock in January. Last seen finishing second in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) in March. New yard well known for exploits with new recruits and has William Buick up.

Form: 3-1132

Dunkerron³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: J Tuite| OR: 82| D

Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 9/1) 38 days ago.

Form: 026-687

Fantastic Flyer^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 80| C| D

40/1

All 7 career wins on AW, including 2 at Chelmsford in February. Well held on turf at Windsor last month but ought to be sharper with that run behind her.

Form: 651146

Its A Given²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 81| BF| CD

4/1

Won AW novices over this trip on first 2 starts. Unbeaten run ended when third on Windsor handicap debut 3 weeks ago but it was another step forward in form terms. Potential for better still.

Form: 1-13

(11)

Freedom Flyer^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 79| D

9/2

Built on promising 7f Haydock debut when ready winner of 6f Wolverhampton maiden 23 days ago. Cheekpieces added for handicap debut. Surely more to come.

Fresh³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 79| BF

3/1

Promise when placed in novice/maiden events over 6f (turf/AW) on last 2 starts. Major surprise if there isn't more to come in handicaps.

Form: 542

(2)

Honore Daumier^b1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 79

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1 and cheekpieces on first time, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good) on reappearance 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip with blinkers added.

Form: 9542-0

Irish Acclaim^p¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox| OR: 78| C

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on first time, career best when winning 8-runner maiden here (7f) when last seen in February. Some of the other 3-y-os in this line-up look more progressive.

Form: 342-31

(6)

Mount Mogan²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 76| D

18/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 9/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 22 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Fresh (3/1), Its A Given (4/1), Freedom Flyer (9/2), Intrepid Italian (7/1), Nigel Nott (8/1), Honore Daumier (8/1), Flavius Titus (14/1), Dunkerron (14/1), Irish Acclaim (16/1), Mount Mogan (18/1), Rio Ronaldo (20/1), Fantastic Flyer (40/1)

Best to focus on the 3-y-os here. FRESH appeals as a typical steady improver from the James Fanshawe yard and is narrowly preferred to fellow handicap newcomer Freedom Flyer, who did it nicely at Wolverhampton last month. Intrepid Italian, also representing the owners of the selection, may prove best of the remainder.
