2 wins from 5 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 58 days ago. Vulnerable to less exposed rivals and all his form is on the all-weather.

Liger King¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Knight| OR: 73

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Shaped as though he'll improve in handicaps and makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut.

Form: 65-8

Cuban Cigar³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 73| BF

11/1

Winner at Kempton in March. Good third of 9 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago, not ideally placed. Each-way claims.

Form: 52-2413

(9)

Seasett³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 9/1) 33 days ago. Should improve for that outing and looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, interesting.

Form: 65-5

Saratoga Gold¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: C Hills| OR: 72

5/1

Winner at Lingfield in November. Creditable sixth of 11 in nursery (5/1) at Kempton (8f), not ideally placed. Off 143 days. One to consider.

15/2

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 25/1) 23 days ago. Looks to have his work cut out here.

Form: 85342-8

Mojandil¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Buckell⁽³⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 68

8/1

9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, going off too hard. Could bounce back here and he makes each-way appeal.

Form: 2426-85

(6)

Serious Intention¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| D

10/1

Good second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Pontefract (8f, good) 19 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 55145-2

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 9 days ago. Needs to improve.

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, seventh of 8 in nursery at Hamilton (5f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Easy to look elsewhere.

Bint Al Anood (16/5), Seasett (9/2), Saratoga Gold (5/1), Liger King (13/2), Distinction (15/2), Mojandil (8/1), Serious Intention (10/1), Cuban Cigar (11/1), Swinton Noon (33/1), One For The Ladies (80/1), Jakacan (80/1)

A tricky puzzle to solve and the handicap debutants make most appeal. LIGER KING caught the eye at Newcastle last October and he may have needed his reappearance run at Yarmouth last time. He could improve today with Tudhope taking the ride. Seasett has a similar profile and should improve from his Redcar reappearance, so he should play a part. Mojandil can't be ruled out either.
