Thunder Of Niagara³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86

10/1

Went backwards after a winning start last season but got back on track when third in a 7f handicap at Kempton on return. Still has a bit to prove back on grass, though.

Form: 1604-3

(6)

Tawleed^b1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| BF| D

4/1

Opened account at third attempt in 7f novice at Leicester in September, making all and quickening clear. Below expectations on Kempton handicap bow but remains with potential. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 221-4

Inveigle¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: M L W Bell| OR: 85| D

7/2

Showed improved form to get off the mark in good style in 7f novice at Chelmsford in October. Subsequently gelded and could have more to offer in handicaps this year.

Form: 8331-

(8)

Apres Dark¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: M Botti| OR: 81

9/1

Won here on debut and posted an improved effort after 4 months off when second at Wolverhampton in March, but his temperament is now under suspicion following another slow start at Beverley last time.

Form: 0374-24

Lovely Breeze³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 79| BF| D

13/2

Lightly-raced winner who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 8 on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/2) 34 days ago, not ideally placed and possibly needing run. Worth another chance.

Form: 312-6

(4)

Bonnyrigg²³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 75| BF

10/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing a 6f maiden here in June. Excuses on York handicap debut but disappointing at Chester last time. Has been gelded ahead of return.

Form: 2196-

(3)

Sayifyouwill^b⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 67| D

6/1

Is holding her form well at present and improved to land a first win back at 7f at Lingfield last week. This is a stronger race but she should be competitive under her penalty.

Form: 366-221

(9)

Dashing Dick^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 71

5/1

Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced upped to a 1m at Windsor last time, but already looks fully exposed. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 22-5377

Forecasts

Inveigle (7/2), Tawleed (4/1), Dashing Dick (5/1), Sayifyouwill (6/1), Lovely Breeze (13/2), Apres Dark (9/1), Bonnyrigg (10/1), Thunder Of Niagara (10/1), Mere Green (20/1)

TAWLEED ran below expectations on his Kempton handicap debut, but he still looked a bit raw, so has to be worth another chance, especially with some of his 2-y-o form reading well. Lovely Breeze can also be expected to bounce back having been poorly placed at Wolverhampton last time, while Inveigle did the job nicely at Chelmsford in October and could have more to offer in handicaps this year.
