Ajrad²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 76

11/4

In the frame on both starts in novices (C&D latterly) but bthis opening handicap mark not obviously generous.

Form: 23

Majd Al Arab¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76| D

8/1

Came good at the fourth time of asking when seeing off 5 rivals at Chelmsford (7f) 12 days ago. More required now switching to a nursery but no surprise if he's capable of better.

Form: 6281

Blue Hero¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 72

16/1

Promising third over 6f on first 2 starts. The fitting of a visor backfired (raced too freely) on 7f nursery debut but he remains capable of better with the headgear left off this time.

Form: 338

Sonderbar⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 71| BF

5/1

Second on 7f Ayr debut and ran to a similar level when fourth at Catterick next time despite being forced wide throughout. Likely he has more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 24

Kingmania³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: C F Wall| OR: 66

5/4

Shaped quite well in her 2 qualifying runs and there should be more to come with the step up to 7f likely to suit. Respected for in-form yard.

Form: 64

Obtuse²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: P D Evans| OR: 64

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to make an impact in a couple of nurseries over this trip last month. Best to look elsewhere again.

Form: 84466

Forecasts

Kingmania (5/4), Ajrad (11/4), Sonderbar (5/1), Majd Al Arab (8/1), Blue Hero (16/1), Obtuse (25/1)

Chris Wall has his team in good form so the suggestion is KINGMANIA with the step up 7f likely to see her in a better light. Sonderbar and Chelmsford-scorer Majd Al Arab are likely threats, while Blue Hero can probably have his latest run ignored and remains open to progress.
