17/2

5/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) when last seen in December, left poorly placed. Big chance if he puts his best foot forward here, but record fresh is off-putting.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 54| D

5/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 28/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago. 1 lb lower back on turf, but others preferred all the same.

The Sunday Club⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Quinn| OR: 50

40/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 80 days ago. Fair effort sole previous run on turf, but he makes limited appeal all the same.

Cherish³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

Major Valentine (5/2), Twice As Likely (7/2), Porto Ferro (5/1), Amnaa (15/2), Pastfact (17/2), Pedestal (12/1), Cherish (16/1), Spreadsheet (16/1), Perfect Symphony (22/1), The Sunday Club (40/1)

Having hit the target at Wolverhampton the last twice, TWICE AS LIKELY arrives in good form, which is more than can be said for her rivals. She is taken to complete the hat-trick, perhaps at the chief expense of Perfect Symphony, who has a big run in him off this lowly mark if the addition of blinkers works the oracle. Pastfact would be higher on the list but for his poor record when fresh.
