Bowling Russian^v1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: George Baker| OR: 80| CD

7/1

C&D winner who arrives in good form from spell at Deauville, fourth of 12 in claimer there last time. Visor replaces cheekpieces now and in the mix.

Form: 156144

(5)

Princes Des Sables¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

11/1

Winless this term and in just fair form of late, sixth of 11 in 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and needs bit more if she's to gain first success since 2019.

Form: 064376

(3)

Cobra Eye¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 78| D

80/1

Fair 6f juvenile winner but has made little impact in handicaps this term, beating only one at Chepstow (6f) 103 days ago on final run for John Quinn. Falling in weights but work to do for new yard.

Form: 169-985

(7)

Newyorkstateofmind^b⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 76| BF| CD

10/11

Thriving at present and followed C&D victory with second of 9 in 5f handicap here when caught further back than ideal. Leading claims returned to 6f off unchanged mark.

Form: 386212

(2)

Dazzling Des¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| CD

17/2

C&D winner but only fair fourth of 6 in 5f handicap at Chelmsford City last time when hindered by another slow start. Shortlisted all the same.

Form: 818324

(6)

Vandad^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Moubarak| OR: 70| BF

4/1

Remains without a win but not disgraced dropped to 5f when third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City 13 days ago. Tongue strap back on upped in trip so he must enter calculations.

Form: 573843

(4)

Brunel's Boy^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 70

16/1

Fair maiden but yet to hit top form in three AW runs, cheekpieces tried when last of 12 to Newyorkstateofmind in handicap over C&D last time. Visor reached for now but others more persuasive.

Form: 432670

Forecasts

Newyorkstateofmind (10/11), Vandad (4/1), Bowling Russian (7/1), Dazzling Des (17/2), Princes Des Sables (11/1), Brunel's Boy (16/1), Cobra Eye (80/1)

NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND is the one to focus on here as he arrives at the top of his game and is weighted to go in with excellent claimer George Rooke again taking a valuable 5 lb off his back. In-form Vandad will also appreciate the return to 6f so is feared most, although C&D winner Bowling Russian is another sure to make his presence felt if the visor ekes out some improvement.
