Be Prepared^v⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 72| D

6/5

Seemingly perked up by the first-time visor when making all in 6f Salisbury handicap on Saturday. Another bold show likely under a penalty here.

Form: 7/69-771

Sir Rodneyredblood⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 70| D

18/1

Looked better than ever when notching sixth AW success at Chelmsford in April, but he has failed to shine on each of his 4 previous starts on turf.

Form: 542216

Iconic Knight¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| D

25/1

Four-time winner for Ed Walker, but still appears to be finding his feet for this yard judged on latest effort at Bath and others make more appeal.

Form: 303773

Kath's Lustre^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hughes| OR: 69| D

20/1

Made winning return at Chelmsford in April. Yet to strike following 10 attempts on turf, but did little wrong when third off this mark at Windsor (5f) last time and she's not without each-way hope.

Form: 453-133

Amathus⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 68| D

15/2

Windsor maiden winner last June and belatedly added to that when getting up in the shadow of the post at Salisbury (6f) last time. 2 lb rise faoir, but this is more competitive.

Form: 5978-71

Madrinho^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| CD

6/1

Successful over C&D last summer and returned to form when scoring at Kempton in March. Found just one too good a Haydock (6f) last week, but he's not the most genuine of types.

Form: 771352

Physics²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 63| D

22/1

Improved when bagging 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Lingfield for Henry Spiller during the autumn. Will be a danger to all if able to translate that form back to turf on return/debut for new yard.

Form: 64/7011-

Siberian Night²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker| OR: 62| D

17/2

Capitalised on a drop in the weights when narrowly prevailing in a heavy-ground Yarmouth handicap (6f) on final start of 2020. 4 lb higher back from a 7-month break and faster ground to contend with.

Form: 076651-

Under Curfew²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| D

22/1

Ended 2020 campaign on a low-key note, but he's 2 lb lower than for his latest success at Bath in September and could have a part to play if fully tuned-up.

Form: 138605-

Edessann^t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 57| D

9/1

Bagged a Cork handicap for Joseph O'Brien off a 4 lb higher mark last summer. However, more miss than hit back with former yard this year and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 8-40850

Amnaa^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45| D

80/1

Strike rate (2-29) is hardly compelling and, having trailed in last of 13 at Lingfield recently, she's hard to warm to from 6 lb out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Be Prepared (6/5), Madrinho (6/1), Amathus (15/2), Siberian Night (17/2), Edessann (9/1), Storm Melody (16/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (18/1), Kath's Lustre (20/1), Under Curfew (22/1), Physics (22/1), Iconic Knight (25/1), Amnaa (80/1)

BE PREPARED bounced back with a decisive all-the-way success at Salisbury recently and will take plenty of stopping under a penalty if the visor works equally well second time round. Physics raised his game on the all-weather at the end of last season and, still on a potentially workable mark, he'll be a threat if reproducing that level of form back on turf. Under Curfew is also shortlisted.
