No Recollection³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A King| OR: 85| D

11/2

Second career win when shading a tight finish at Salisbury (1¼m, good) last month. 5 lb rise demands further progress up against some progressive sorts now.

Form: 431-431

(3)

Camelot Tales³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 85| D

6/1

Redcar novice winner over this trip on reappearance in April. Disappointed on AW at Newcastle since but he's better than that and retains potential for handicaps.

Form: 4-17

(6)

Thunder Sun³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 83

11/1

Promising individual who stepped up on debut effort when landing 7f Kempton novice last autumn. Improved again when third in 1m Windsor novice on return. More to come now handicapping over further.

Form: 01-3

(7)

Otyrar²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83| D

14/1

Built on Kempton novice win with second on Redcar handicap debut in April. Perhaps unsuited by softer ground when well held at Newbury since. No surprise if he bounces back.

Form: 5-3127

Surefire⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82

11/4

Left debut behind to win on AW in December. Improved again when chasing home the promising Siskany on 1¼m Windsor reappearance and likely he has more to come in handicaps.

Form: 91-2

(2)

Oz Legend²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: H Palmer| OR: 82

11/4

AW maiden winner in December. Good efforts on turf so far this year, his latest Newbury handicap debut fourth coming in the traditionally strong London Gold Cup.

Form: 51-34

Realist³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78| D

7/1

Improved to make a successful handicap debut on Chelmsford's AW and stepped up again when runner-up at Redcar since. Has the potential for better still.

Form: 875-12

Forecasts

Surefire (11/4), Oz Legend (11/4), No Recollection (11/2), Camelot Tales (6/1), Realist (7/1), Thunder Sun (11/1), Otyrar (14/1)

A very interesting 3-y-o handicap. SUREFIRE bumped into subsequent easy Sandown handicap winner Siskany when second on his Windsor return and doesn't look overburdened from an opening mark of 82 so he's narrowly preferred to Sir Michael Stoute's Thunder Sun. Realist is another in this line-up who likely has more to come.
