Spirit Power²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: E J Alston| OR: 70| C

28/1

Successful here in 2019 and displayed a willing attitude when narrowly prevailing at Southwell (5f) last month. However, dropped out tamely 17 days later at Newcastle and needs to bounce back.

Form: 159-410

Dana Forever²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 70| BF

6/1

Remains a maiden following 15 attempts, but she has finished runner-up on no less than 7 occasions, including over 5f here last summer and on her latest start at Wolverhampton. Should be in the mix.

Form: 28326-2

Soul Seeker¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69

3/1

Showed plenty of ability in maidens for Dermot Weld. Well held on debut for new yard in first time cheekpieces at Redcar (6f) recently, but down 2 lb and he's certainly not one to write off just yet.

Form: 32/540-0

Production¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: E Walker| OR: 69| BF| D

5/2

Hasn't got his head in front for a while, but was placed twice off higher marks than this in September and should be all the better for his recent reappearance spin at Kempton (6f). One to consider.

Form: 59239-5

Onebaba^b,e/s⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Mackie| OR: 68| D

17/2

Winner of 4 of his 5 starts on the AW since the turn of the year, the latest a 3-runner seller at Wolverhampton (6f) in February. More on his plate back on turf for new connections.

Form: 0-14111

Camachess¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P J McBride| OR: 66| D

6/1

Successful twice last summer, including off a 4 lb higher mark at Yarmouth in July. Generally below par on the AW this year, but there were more encoraging signs last time and she's not discounted.

Form: 16-0775

Madrinho⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| D

11/1

Goodwood winner off this mark in 2020 and added to his tally at Kempton (6f) last month. Another good shift when third over the same C&D 7 days later, but one or two of these make greater appeal.

Form: 9-77713

Ustath⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 65| D

17/2

Opened his account on turf at Thirsk (6f) last weekend, but more will certainly be needed if he's to follow up here off a 5 lb higher mark.

Forecasts

Production (5/2), Soul Seeker (3/1), Camachess (6/1), Dana Forever (6/1), Ustath (17/2), Onebaba (17/2), Madrinho (11/1), Spirit Power (28/1)

PRODUCTION isn't the easiest to win with by any means, but he has edged down to an attractive mark and gets the nod here following an encouraging enough reappearance at Kempton 15 days ago. Soul Seeker is likely to come good at some point soon for David O'Meara and is next on the list ahead of Dana Forever and Camachess.
