3/1

Thrice-raced gelding, only seventh of 10 in Wolverhampton novice 12 months ago on final run for Mark Johnston. Fitness a concern and market can guide.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon

100/1

Mia Dolan²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

10/1

28/1, failed to progress from debut when eighth of 13 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, soft) 22 days ago. Can still do better but she needs to if she's to figure.

Form: 38

(4)

Pertemps Sia

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon

16/1

Canford Cliffs filly. Half-sister to 7f-9f winner Dutchmans One. Dam unraced. Bred to be no back number so not totally dismissed on her belated debut. Worth market check.

Form:

Forecasts

Harmonious (6/4), War Defender (15/8), Imperial Square (3/1), Mia Dolan (10/1), Pertemps Sia (16/1), Brazen Hussy (100/1), Bo Taifan (125/1), Tilsworth Emerald (250/1)

HARMONIOUS is a consistent sort and proven on fibresand so looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account at the sixth attempt here. War Defender rates much the biggest threat on form but is unproven on the synthetic surface. Mia Dolan and Imperial Square appeal as the pick of the rest.
