15/2

Hooded first time, career best when winning 1m handicap at Thirsk (good to firm) under Laura Pearson in April. Creditable fourth of 12 at Yarmouth off revised mark since. Up in trip.

Kelmscott²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: David Egan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 72

3/1

Failed to improve switched to handicap company for the first time at Leicester last month but still doesn't look the finished article and retains potential.

Form: 03-64

(5)

Eton Blue³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 72

12/1

Has shown ability in 3 qualifying runs this spring but he didn't look that straightforward at Windsor last time, hanging badly left.

Form: 947

Jawhary¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 72

8/1

Fair form in novices at up to 1¼m this spring and open to progress now switching to handicap company for the first time.

Form: 925

Kornflake²³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 69

17/2

All four outings for Karl Burke as a juvenile came over 6f, finishing fourth on a couple of occasions. Does have some stamina in pedigree and needs a betting check on first start for Mark Johnston.

Form: 7446-

Uncle Dick⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68

4/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in January and creditable placed efforts since, the latest back on turf at Beverley. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 47-1233

Oriental Art⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 66

10/3

Well-related colt who showed ability in 3 starts over 7f/1m earlier in the year and appeals as a likely improver now handicapping over a longer trip. Very interesting.

Form: 458

(4)

Way Of Life²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: J G Portman| OR: 62

22/1

No significant impact in handicaps this spring, including here. Headgear left off now. Has been cut some slack by the assessor but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 6-45577

Tarneemat^b,h1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: M Madgwick| OR: 60

150/1

Modest form for Karl Burke earlier in year. Well held setting out for new yard in 7f Lingfield handicap (AW) 17 days ago. Up in trip for turf debut with hood added to blinkers.

Form: 85340

Ambarella^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: T Ward| OR: 58

40/1

Yard among the winners but she's failed to make an impact in 2 handicaps this spring. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 9084-70

Forecasts

Kelmscott (3/1), Oriental Art (10/3), Uncle Dick (4/1), Addosh (15/2), Jawhary (8/1), Kornflake (17/2), Eton Blue (12/1), Way Of Life (22/1), Ambarella (40/1), Tarneemat (150/1)

ORIENTAL ART is certainly bred to be better than an opening mark of 66 (brother to smart Madame Chiang among others) and there was definite promise in his 3 qualifying runs. He gets the nod, with confidence increased should the market vibes be strong. Jawhary is another potential improver in handicaps, while Uncle Dick and Addosh have both shown they can be very competitive form their mark.
