Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 65| BF| D

Two AW wins this spring. Respectable in-frame efforts on last 2 starts. Needs to show he can do it on turf now (well held on all 3 previous attempts).

Form: 241124

Foxtrot Sizzler^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 70

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 15 in novice at Windsor (6f, good) 22 days ago, needing stiffer test. Kept to 6f for handicap debut so others are preferred.

Form: 654

(2)

The Waterman¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 69| D

11/2

Improved performer this year, building on his 5f Salisbury reappearance second when going one better at Wolverhampton 14 days ago, suited by strong pace. Only up 3 lb and likely to go well again.

Form: 0579-21

(9)

Siberian Night¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 61| D

7/1

Made a respectable return to action when fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Should be spot on with that behind him. Considered.

Form: 76651-4

(6)

Sweet Pursuit^v⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: B R Millman| OR: 57| D

11/2

6/1, won 14-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, suited by a well-run race as she ran on to lead in the closing stages. Big player.

Form: 03-0651

(4)

Intrusive^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: L A Dace| OR: 65| D

10/1

Hooded first time, third of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good, 40/1) 16 days ago. First-time blinkers replace the hood now and William Buick does the steering.

Form: 36-4093

(3)

Secret Potion^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 57| D

Back to winning ways at Bath (soft) in May. 17/2, below-form fourth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good to firm) since.

Form: 480214

(7)

San Juan^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 56

80/1

Pair of Southwell wins to start 2021 but well held on last month's Ripon turf debut so needs to prove he's as effective on this surface.

Form: 113567

Forecasts

Foxtrot Sizzler (4/1), Lordsbridge Boy (11/2), Sweet Pursuit (11/2), The Waterman (11/2), Siberian Night (7/1), Maysong (15/2), Intrusive (10/1), Soyounique (11/1), Secret Potion (14/1), San Juan (80/1)

SWEET PURSUIT has won back to back on a couple of occasions in her career so might be able to defy a 4 lb penalty for last week's Windsor success. The Waterman is a 3-y-o heading in the right direction so he's an obvious danger, while Siberian Night could strip fitter with his reappearance behind him so also merits plenty of respect.
