Critique^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 55

5/1

Tenth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (10f, soft) 18 days ago, feasible to think underfoot conditions were against him. Not one to write off in refitted blinkers/back on AW.

Form: 6423-50

Arlecchino's Arc^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

9/2

Latest win at Chelmsford (10f) in April. Not disgraced since, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 7 days ago, better placed than most. Each-way claims from this sort of mark.

Tanqeeb^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54| C

15/2

Course winner. 6/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, making no serious impression. Mark has eased a little more and he's interesting under William Buick.

Form: 84-3036

Imajorblush^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 54| BF

15/8

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, 3/1) 22 days ago. Is proving consistent for all he remains a maiden and another good showing certainly not ruled out.

Form: 444-235

Opine^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 52

16/1

33/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on and booking of Hollie Doyle does catch the eye.

Form: 0/4845-9

Enmeshing^v1⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 52| CD

25/1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 51| D

9/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 11/1, career best when winning 14-runner minor event at Kempton (12f) 56 days ago by ½ length from Arlecchino's Arc. Can go well again.

Form: 135771

Dolly McQueen⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 51

22/1

Below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft, 20/1) 46 days ago. Has first start on the level for present stable and interesting what the market makes of her.

Form: 59/83P0-

Aussie Breeze²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 50

66/1

50/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Stratford (22f, good to soft) in October. Had run with credit previously on the level for Tom George but acquired for just £800 in January.

Form: 004262/

Genuine Approval^p,t⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J Butler| OR: 50| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 7/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 53 days ago. Can only be watched unless market vibes are particularly positive.

Form: 32-5006

A typically wide-open handicap in which it may pay to side you TANQEEB. He wasn't at his very best at Bath on his most recent start but has good claims on the pick of his form back on all-weather and the booking of William Buick catches the eye. Kempton-scorer Cinzento, Imajorblush and Critique head up the dangers.
