Jaariyah⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 79| BF

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Ten wins from 39 Flat runs. Four wins from 14 runs last year. Too free when last of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago, folding tamely. Others more persuasive.

Shoot To Kill^p⁹

8/1

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago, leading close home. Should give a good account nudged up just a couple of pounds.

Form: 250-5U1

Street Parade¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 75

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Ran his best race since joining this yard when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (12/1), nearest finish. Off 125 days. Must improve further to figure.

Kapono^p³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73| BF| D

7/1

Never on terms when ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/2) 39 days ago, not clear run under 3f out. Can give a good account but may find a few too good on this occasion.

Form: 93-5069

Forecasts

Declaring Love (11/4), Jaariyah (7/2), Kapono (7/1), Shoot To Kill (8/1), Spring Romance (10/1), Diamond Dougal (10/1), Jumira Bridge (10/1), Inaam (12/1), El Hombre (12/1), Street Parade (18/1), Freedom Flyer (28/1)

JAARIYAH failed to meet expectations having been strong in the betting on her handicap debut over 7.2f here last week. She's worth another chance to double her career tally from this potentially lenient mark. This switch back to sprinting will suit Declaring Love, who gets the vote for second having raced freely at Chelmsford last month, with Jumira Bridge another who merits consideration.
