Enigmatic²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: James Doyle| T: J Parr| OR: 86| D

12/1

Twice a winner last season and came on from reappearance run when third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 24 days ago. Others look better treated, though.

Form: 1691-83

(6)

Hundred Isles²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 83| D

10/1

Twice a winner in April and back on track when good second of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Respected despite 4 lb higher mark here.

Form: 7-21102

(4)

Turntable²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C F Wall| OR: 83| CD

9/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap over Rowley Mile last month and not seen to best effect when third in Yarmouth follow-up bid. One for the shortlist.

Form: 504-313

(2)

Crackling¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Levey| T: M Meade| OR: 82| D

16/1

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) in February. Not seen since but remains low mileage and still looks on a decent mark.

Form: 1/4-21

(7)

Dogged¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R L Moore| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 81| D

6/1

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Likely to give another good account but overall strike rate is a concern.

Form: 1/385-53

(8)

Talbot¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Buckell⁽³⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 85

10/1

Fairly useful winner on debut last summer. Yet to add to that victory but shaped as if this trip would suit when a good third at Sandown (7f) latest.

Form: 070-263

(5)

Sir Maxi²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 83| BF

12/1

Won 2 of his 4 starts as a juvenile and looked rusty when down the field on Haydock return last month. Steps up significantly in trip now.

Form: 2112-8

(9)

Alabama Boy⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker| OR: 83| D

11/10

Promising type who has won both his starts this year, latest a 10-runner handicap at this venue (8f, good) 42 days ago, keeping on well. Likely more to come yet.

Form: 975-11

(3)

Fortune And Glory¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 70| D

25/1

Dual winner last year and arrives on back of respectable effort at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. This looks a deeper contest, though.

Form: 50-9547

Forecasts

Alabama Boy (11/10), Dogged (6/1), Turntable (9/1), Talbot (10/1), Hundred Isles (10/1), Enigmatic (12/1), Sir Maxi (12/1), Crackling (16/1), Fortune And Glory (25/1)

ALABAMA BOY has really upped his game since sent handicapping and has fine claims of completing the hat-trick. Crackling and Turntable rate the chief dangers.
