Heights Of Abraham¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 91| BF| C

5/1

Course winner who arrives in good nick, unsuited by drop in trip when fifth at Haydock (8.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly granted this stiffer test of stamina.

Form: 251-415

(3)

Dhushan⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

11/10

Improving Sea The Stars colt who confirmed previous promise with ready win in 1m4f Haydock novice. Goes into handicaps with plenty more to offer. One to beat.

Form: 2-21

(5)

Annandale²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84| BF

13/2

Fairly useful effort when bagging 1m2f Nottingham handicap in April. 7/4, only eighth on softer ground at Newbury 22 days ago. Remains capable of better. Not written off.

Form: 311-218

(6)

Glen Again¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

11/1

Gained second success of 2021 in 4-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Up 2 lb but he's not ruled out now stepping back up in trip.

Form: 2-2141

(2)

Golden Dove²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Megan Nicholls| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74

14/1

Redcar novice winner who posted good second of 6 to Heights of Abraham in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, heavy) 20 days ago. This longer trip should prove within her compass. Shortlisted.

Form: 681-62

(1)

Baileys Derbyday¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 74| BF

5/1

Still to register a victory, but he recorded good second of 6 in handicap (2/1) at Newmarket (12f, soft) 14 days ago. Not dismissed off an unchanged mark.

Form: 35-5222

Forecasts

Dhushan (11/10), Heights Of Abraham (5/1), Baileys Derbyday (5/1), Annandale (13/2), Glen Again (11/1), Golden Dove (14/1)

Most of these offer potential, not least Willie Haggas' Sea The Stars colt DHUSHAN who steps into handicap company on a lenient mark and can follow up his Haydock novice victory before tackling better company. Mark Johnston is triple handed and his duo Annandale and Baileys Derbyday look the two to chase home the selection in a useful handicap.
