11/4

Suited by return to AW when staying on to lead post over C&D 25 days ago. 5 lb rise may not prevent the follow up (runner-up twice off 6 lb higher over C&D at end of 2019).

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 55| CD

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 53| D

6/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2019 but he did go agonisingly close to snapping that losing run here (5f) on Friday. Thereabouts again if in similar form.

40/1

14/1

(12)

God Of Dreams¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T Hamilton| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 46| BF

13/2

Still a maiden but not long with this yard and, though unable to justify market support, he was a respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good) 16 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 058-084

(10)

Guardia Svizzera¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: A D Brown| OR: 45| D

T: C J Teague J: Connor Murtagh

Forecasts

Zebulon (11/4), Anna Maria (9/2), Lucky Beggar (6/1), God Of Dreams (13/2), Ingleby Molly (8/1), Highlight Reel (11/1), Fard (12/1), Star Cracker (14/1), Quercus (14/1), Grandma (20/1), Jungle Capers (22/1), Guardia Svizzera (28/1), Refuge (40/1), Shortbackandsides (40/1)

ZEBULON was put up 5 lb for his recent C&D win but remains well treated on his form at the end of 2019 and can enhance his good track record. Lucky Beggar will be a threat if reproducing the form he showed when narrowly denied over 5f here on Friday, while God of Dreams was only fourth last time but the fact he went off 7/4 suggests better was expected and he hasn't been with Keith Dalgleish long.
