Carn A Chlamain²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72

4/1

Fair form. Good runner-up efforts in Wetherby handicaps over this trip on last 2 starts and likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 936-722

Nastasiya²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: E Walker| OR: 68

3/1

Once again shaped as if in need of a stiffer test when fourth in 11.5f Windsor handicap 22 days ago. Gets that now and should have more to offer.

Form: 335-54

(2)

Olympus^b1¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

9/2

Showed a bit in 3 starts at up to 1¼m last autumn. Blinkers added now handicapping over a longer trip on return.

Form: 775-

Alnajeeb²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 67| BF

5/2

Took a step forward when third on 1½m Beverley handicap debut 21 days ago, taking time to get going before staying on. Step up to 1¾m ought to be right up his street. Leading claims.

Form: 46-33

(8)

The Guvnor^p1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: Tom Clover| OR: 66| BF

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden who finished ½ length behind reopposing Caran A Chlamain when third of 6 in handicap at Wetherby 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Another to consider.

Form: 5553

(3)

Prison Break²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62

12/1

Modest form. 10/1, behind Alnajeeb when fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (1½m, soft) 21 days ago.

Form: 403-95

(9)

Black Cyclone^t1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55

50/1

Beaten upwards of 20 lengths in all qualifying runs at up to 11f this spring but has a more realistic chance now handicapping in a first-time tongue tie. Worth a market check.

Form: 605

(6)

Freewheelin²⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 54

66/1

Never involved in 3 novice events around 1m last year. Up significantly in triup for this handicap debut/reappearance after 8 months off.

Form: 760-

(7)

Mitcham Fair²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 47

200/1

Poor form. 80/1, tailed-off last of 7 in handicap at Beverley (1½m, soft) on reappearance 21 days ago.

Form: 086-7

Forecasts

Alnajeeb (5/2), Nastasiya (3/1), Carn A Chlamain (4/1), Olympus (9/2), The Guvnor (7/1), Prison Break (12/1), Black Cyclone (50/1), Freewheelin (66/1), Mitcham Fair (200/1)

The step up to 1¾m promises to bring about improvement from ALNAJEEB and Nastasiya, with a narrow vote going the way of the former. The Guvnor may prove best of the remainder.
