Rain Gauge¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 72

8/1

Raced only on AW so far, getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in April. Creditable third over 1½m at Lingfield since. Should be in the mix if as effective on turf.

Form: 334713

Reams Of Love⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

11/2

Frankel colt who showed promise on his first 2 starts but has taken a couple of backward steps since, including in Doncaster handicap on return. Too soon to write off but others have less to prove.

Form: 337-5

Wink Of An Eye²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 70| BF

4/6

Promising start in handicaps when runner-up at Goodwood last month. Possibly not ideally suited by testing ground when only third over C&D since and he's fancied to get back on the up now.

Form: 884-23

Red Glory^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69

12/1

Improved when off the mark with a bit to spare at Beverley (1½m) last month but not in anything like same form when last of 5 over 11.5f here since. Bounce back called for in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 906-515

Hafez^b¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 69| BF

25/1

Fair maiden for Richard Hannon, leaving that yard after a below-par par run at Wolverhampton in January. Back up in trip for new yard after 5 months off.

Form: 43433-5

Rattling Rosie¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 68

12/1

Matched the pick of her form in maiden/novice events when third on 7f Wolverhampton handicap debut 14 days ago, not going with fluency but staying on. Return to a much longer trip may help.

Form: 46-83

(5)

Whatzupwithme^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 64

66/1

Modest form for Mark Johnston at 2 and offered little on Musselburgh stable debut/reappearance 16 days ago. Will need to leave that run well behind.

Form: 449-6

(7)

Moorland Queen¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52

14/1

Modest form. Not disgraced in 1m handicaps on last 2 starts without shaping like a winner in waiting. Needs longer trip now to help.

Form: 77-846

Forecasts

Wink Of An Eye (4/6), Reams Of Love (11/2), Dream Chaser (7/1), Rain Gauge (8/1), Red Glory (12/1), Rattling Rosie (12/1), Moorland Queen (14/1), Hafez (25/1), Whatzupwithme (66/1)

There's a possibility WINK OF AN EYE wasn't ideally suited by a slow surface here last time and he's taken to resume his progression and get off the mark under Danny Tudhope. The return to a much longer trip could be in the favour of Rattling Rosie so she's put up as the chief threat ahead of Rain Gauge, who tackles turf for the first time here.
