Peckinpah²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D C Costello| T: A King| OR: 69

9/2

6/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good) 22 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Remains of interest.

Form: 380-432

Restive²⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| D

66/1

Below form last 3 starts for Michael Appleby. Returns for new yard after 8 months off and likely to be of more interest once returning to fibresand.

Form: 1727-37

Dream Magic²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| CD

20/1

3-time C&D winner who most likely needed the run when last of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (12f) 29 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: 4-12420

(4)

Prince Llyr²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S W Kelly| T: H Main| OR: 67| BF| CD

Ray's The One^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 70

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Not disgraced when eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (11f) 32 days ago and can probably do better when the emphasis is a bit more on stamina.

Form: 34228

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 62| C

7/1

Course winner. 9/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 11 days ago. Up against some unexposed 3-y-os here but can make presence felt again.

Form: 785563

The Cincinnati Kid⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

13/2

11/1

Returned to form in first-time blinkers when fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, though had the run of the race. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 63-9094

Chairman Power¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 67

7/2

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh| T: W R Muir| OR: 65

20/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm, 9/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Must improve.

Forecasts

Chairman Power (7/2), Prince Llyr (4/1), Peckinpah (9/2), The Cincinnati Kid (13/2), International Law (7/1), Nibras Wish (11/1), Lord Torranaga (12/1), Ray's The One (12/1), Ruby Shield (14/1), Mazikeen (20/1), Dream Magic (20/1), Restive (66/1)

CHAIRMAN POWER made a decent start to life in handicaps when third at Kempton last month, and has the pedigree to progress again, so he’s an appealing candidate. Peckinpah was produced a bit too early at Salisbury last time and remains of interest, while Ruby Shield is another 3-y-o open to improvement.
