C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/1) 5 days ago. Shaping better than the result and still capable from this mark if things drop right.

C&D winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 16 days ago (third past the post but subsequently disqualified). Mark looks fair if he can build on that.

2/1
3 wins from 10 runs this year. 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago, digging deep. Should go well under another positive ride.

9/4
4 wins from 11 runs this year. 5/2, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, well positioned. Likeable sort who should remain competitive.

11/2
One win from 26 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 5/1) 8 days ago. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. One to consider.

Forecasts

Dawaaleeb (2/1), Ayr Harbour (9/4), Assimilation (11/2), Firmament (11/2), Markazi (11/2)

Verdict

MARKAZI is on a reduced mark and was narrowly denied at Lingfield last time so, with blinkers and a tongue strap back on, he's taken to get his head in front despite stepping up in grade. Hat-trick seekers Dawaaleeb and Ayr Harbour also have solid claims, while the other pair can't be completely ruled out.

  1. MARKAZI (FR)
  2. DAWAALEEB (USA)
  3. AYR HARBOUR
