12/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 28 days ago. Doesn't look all that well treated at present.

25/1

9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 116 days. Perhaps didn't take to the headgear last time, so too soon to write off.

Bright Apparition^h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 59

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Wetherby (8f, good) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 4-0464

Solomons Judgement¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 58

7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Ed Vaughan when sixth of 13 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. May well do better still.

Form: 03-6

(1)

Amal⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 56

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Chelsea Banham when very good fifth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes turf debut. Considered.

Form: 7688-5

Mountain Ash³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: B R Millman| OR: 45

9/2

Sir Taweel²⁶

T: M Moubarak J: Mark Crehan

Forecasts

Solomons Judgement (7/2), Mountain Ash (9/2), Sir Taweel (5/1), There's No Danger (6/1), Emjaytwentythree (8/1), Headora (9/1), Pinball Wizard (10/1), Propagation (11/1), Zumaaty (11/1), Gosnay Gold (18/1), Amal (20/1), Rivers Lad (25/1), Bright Apparition (28/1)

SIR TAWEEL had more in hand than the narrow winning margin suggests at Windsor last time and, provided the pace is true, he may well prove capable of defying a small rise. Pinball Wizard leaves the impression there's a bigger effort in him when everything clicks, so his chance can't be ignored, while Propogation is another one to consider.
