6/5

Landed Nottingham nursery on final 2-y-o start but has presumably been hard to train since, only twelfth of 20 in handicap (20/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) 34 days ago. Up in trip but tough to assess.

Form: 3151/4-0

2/1

Ayr specialist, winning 3 times at that track during last summer. Looked rusty after 6 months off when down the field at Ripon 15 days ago but should come on from that here. Respected back up in trip.

Form: 74520-7

Mukhayyam^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

5/2

Disappointing in a very light 2020 campaign but at least offered something to work on returning from 7 months off when fifth at Ripon 15 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper back up in trip.

Form: 44/759-5

Forecasts

Dubai Souq (6/5), Glasses Up (2/1), Mukhayyam (5/2)

Impossible to rule any of the trio out here but preference is for GLASSES UP, who looked rusty after 6 months off when finishing down the field at Ripon just over a fortnight ago and should come on from that back up in trip here. Mukhayyam offered something to work on after a disappointing 2020 when finishing in front of the selection that day but may have to settle for silver here.
