Ring Of Gold²⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72

20/1

Signs of encouragement a couple of times last year, but final Flat outing was uninspiring and he was pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Catterick when last seen 6 months ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 2340-

Majalaat¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 72| D

5/2

Scored at Pontefract in good style in April on second of 3 outings for Paul Collins. Latest effort best excused, so not without hope having joined another new stable.

Form: 944-217

Cote d'Azur⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 70| BF| D

6/1

Runner-up the last twice, albeit in only a 4-runner race at Pontefract 43 days ago. Tricky customer who hasn't won for a long time.

Form: 438-922

Toro Dorado⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 68| D

9/1

Last of 5 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 69 days ago. Back down in trip. Can't be completely dismissed from lower turf mark.

Form: 653425

Corazonada²⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: I Mohammed| OR: 68

16/1

Bit disappointing on handicap debut at Newmarket (10f) last summer but her previous form reads well and it could be too early to write her off.

Form: 5/55-

Richard R H B¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 67

14/1

4-time Wolverhampton winner who wasted no time returning to form when third there back in January. Poor effort over C&D returning from 4 months off last time, so bit to prove.

Form: 911-634

(3)

Precision Storm²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 66

7/2

Likeable type who is potentially thrown in on AW form and arrives on the back of a good second at Bath over this trip last month. Leading claims.

Form: 212222

Estate House^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 66| BF

7/1

AW winner. Effort flattened out when only fourth of 7 back on turf at Yarmouth last time and needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

Form: 4621-34

(9)

The Throstles³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: K Frost| OR: 65| D

11/1

Looked rusty when a respectable sixth at Doncaster on return. Excuses for poor run over hurdles subsequently and he's well handicapped in this sphere.

Form: 93009-6

Channel Packet²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby| OR: 61| D

25/1

Won at Chelmsford in February, but has underperformed back on turf lately, so others are more appealing.

Forecasts

Majalaat (5/2), Precision Storm (7/2), Cote d'Azur (6/1), Estate House (7/1), Toro Dorado (9/1), The Throstles (11/1), Richard R H B (14/1), Corazonada (16/1), Ring Of Gold (20/1), Channel Packet (25/1), Hooflepuff (25/1)

PRECISION STORM showed he can make a big impact from his lower turf mark when second at Bath and might not have to improve on that to go one better in a moderate race. Toro Dorado is another who looks well handicapped on AW form, so he's feared along with Majalaat.
