Ajrad³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dane O'Neill| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 76

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden who didn't seem to be putting it all in when only third in a novice at Lingfield on reappearance. Vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Form: 2323-3

Royal Tribute¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

12/1

Unable to build on promising debut at Kempton last year but liable to have needed his reappearance at Nottingham, so remains with potential now handicapping.

Form: 44-4

(14)

Time Interval^h1²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 75| D

5/1

Readily off the mark at the second attempt last term, then refused to settle in a nursery at Doncaster 8 months ago. Now hooded, and stable is getting going now.

Form: 614-

(11)

Hemsworth^h1⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Ferguson| OR: 73

13/2

In good hands and arrives with a progressive profile following his improved second at Kempton 86 days ago. Hood should help, so makes plenty of appeal on handicap bow.

Form: 63-2

(8)

Ancient Times¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 72

12/1

Won 5f Southwell maiden on final outing last term and shaped better than bare result (poorly placed) when fourth in handicap at Windsor on seasonal/stable debut. Not discounted up in trip.

Form: 3841-4

(2)

Final Watch¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 72

12/1

Fair form for Sir Michael Stoute last year and, while a little underwhelming on first go for current yard (at Wolverhampton), he may yet do better switched to handicaps under a useful claimer.

Form: 44-5

(4)

Hala Joud^h1⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 71

11/2

Fair filly who was consistent rather than progressive for Joseph O'Brien but hasn't been treated too harshly by the BHA. Hooded for stable debut and worth considering if strong in the betting.

Form: 4D-4335

(12)

May Night³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 70| BF| D

9/2

Enhanced a progressive profile when scoring at Kempton in March, then didn't seem ideally suited by the fibresand at Southwell last month. Could get back on the up if fully effective on turf.

Form: 8813-12

(3)

Tell'em Nowt²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 70

22/1

Good-topped colt who failed to go on from an encouraging start at Sandown as a 2yo but could get back on track following a winter break, so not ruled out from a fair initial mark.

Form: 979-

(1)

Laxton Ladd^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 68

22/1

Fair handicapper who followed a good second at Newcastle with a poor performance at Lingfield recently. Still unproven on turf, too.

Form: 592-520

(13)

Special Mayson²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 65

9/1

From the family of stable's 1000 Guineas winner Speciosa and has offered something to work on in a trio of novice runs. Likely to strip fitter for recent fourth at Doncaster, so warrants respect.

Form: 42-4

(10)

Lady Amalthea^h1¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 55

80/1

Has looked limited to date, so has a lot on her plate in this competitive environment.

Form: 67994-

Forecasts

May Night (9/2), Time Interval (5/1), Hala Joud (11/2), Dashing Dick (6/1), Hemsworth (13/2), Ajrad (8/1), Special Mayson (9/1), Final Watch (12/1), Ancient Times (12/1), Royal Tribute (12/1), Flibbertigibbet (20/1), Tell'em Nowt (22/1), Laxton Ladd (22/1), Lady Amalthea (80/1)

HEMSWORTH is improving by the run and should settle better in a first-time hood, so he's capable of overcoming an opening mark of 73 under another positive ride. Dashing Dick ran well here recently and looks a danger, while Time Interval should take a hand if he's ready to go on return.
