Fortamour^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 85| D

8/1

Dual AW winner who showed he's just as good on turf with 6f Ascot success last autumn. Enough to suggest he's in form in 3 outings this year. Ought to have a say from handy draw.

Form: 310-363

33/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2018. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 30 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Others more obvious.

28/1

Reacted positively to cheekpieces when returning to winning ways with 1m Haydock win (soft) last September. Headgear off on return and possibly best watched from an outside stall.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R L Moore| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 83| D

9/1

Improver in handicaps last year, winning 4 times over 7f (1 turf, 3 AW). Failed to figure in listed company final start but could resume her progression with sights lowered. Ryan Moore up.

Shawaamekh^t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 81| CD

15/2

Placed off higher marks than this in 2020 and made a sound return to action when keeping on for fourth over 7f at Chester last week. Former C&D winner. One to consider.

Form: 03649-4

Late Arrival²¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| D

80/1

Fairy useful form for the Crisfords last year, including 7f Kempton win in September. A feeling he might need this first run back for a new yard unless betting hints otherwise.

Form: 232510-

Get Knotted^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 80| CD

14/1

Three-time C&D winner. Looked rusty when last of 4 on Ayr reappearance 17 days ago but he's always a dangerous one to discount at this venue.

Form: 07430-4

Boardman⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| D

7/2

Failed to fire when sent off favourite on Redcar reappearance but it all came together faced with a softer surface when easily seeing off 7 rivals at Haydock last week. Big player if in same form.

Form: 0950-61

Silver Dust³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79

25/1

Trinity Lake¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 79| D

15/2

4/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good) 19 days ago, shuffled back before finishing strongly. He's one to be interested in.

Form: 4352-22

Red Poppy^v1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79

20/1

Winner at Newcastle in December. Shaped quite well when seventh of 18 at Doncaster (7f) in March and perhaps unsuited by a firm surface back there since (hung left and eased). Visor added.

Form: 13-4476

(7)

Muntadab²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| D

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 11/4, good second of 5 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good) 20 days ago. Has run well over this C&D before.

18/1

13/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good) 19 days ago, with the reopposing Trinity Lake narrowly ahead of him in second. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 0118-63

Presidential⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 76| D

50/1

Course winner who is now 14 runs without a win and has made little impact in 4 starts this year. Others more obvious.

Form: 00-0806

Bringitonboris¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74

22/1

Three 1mm wins last year. Shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 8 on Ayr reappearance and ought to be sharper now. First outing over short of 1m.

Forecasts

Boardman (7/2), Shawaamekh (15/2), Trinity Lake (15/2), Fortamour (8/1), Highfield Princess (9/1), Tom Collins (10/1), Molls Memory (12/1), Muntadab (12/1), Get Knotted (14/1), Danielsflyer (18/1), Cassy O (18/1), Red Poppy (20/1), Bringitonboris (22/1), Silver Dust (25/1), Ey Up Its Mick (25/1), Star Shield (28/1), Flaming Spear (33/1), Soar Above (50/1), Presidential (50/1), Late Arrival (80/1)

BOARDMAN was back to form with a bang when winning easily in the mud at Haydock last weekend and gets the nod to make light of a penalty. Highfield Princess was very progressive in handicaps in the second half of 2020 and the booking of Ryan Moore suggests she could be primed for a bold bid on her return. Declan Carroll pair Trinity Lake and Shawaamekh are also on the shortlist.
