Invincible Swagger^b³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 85| D

13/2

Overcame greenness to make a winning debut in 7f maiden at Kempton in January but hasn't advanced his form significantly since, and ran poorly tried in this headgear latest, albeit on heavy ground.

Form: 12247

If You Dare²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

10/1

Recorded a useful effort on the clock when making his second start a winning one at Southwell (6f) in March. However, well held in handicaps switched to turf last 2 starts so bit to prove now.

Form: 21248

Riffaa Wonder²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

17/2

Two wins from 4 runs last year but yet to hit form this season, though at least hinted at a revival when fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago, going with zest.

Form: 114-075

George Morland²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 82| D

11/1

Winner at Kempton in March before improved second of 10 in novice event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm). Pulled too hard on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m) next time. Back down in trip.

Form: 128

Riknnah²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 82| D

13/8

Improving filly who arrives on a hat-trick after bagging 7f novices at Wolverhampton and Lingfield. Makes handicap debut and one for the shortlist.

Form: 411

Yorkshire Pirlo^t1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jefferson Smith| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 78

28/1

Career best when winning 8-runner nursery (3/1) at Southwell (6.1f) on final outing for Philip Makin. Given a considerate reappearance on yard debut here last week. Headgear off, tongue strap on.

Form: 23961-7

Sugauli²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 72| D

14/1

Yarmouth 7f novice winner on debut last summer. Not up to a 1m Salisbury listed race the following month but shaped encouragingly off what looked a stiff mark when third at former track on return.

Form: 17-3

(5)

Dashing Dick^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: W Stone| OR: 72

10/3

Still seeking first success (0-12) but has found just one too good with cheekpieces enlisted in 7f handicaps at Newmarket and Yarmouth before respectable fourth at Sandown. Should make presence felt.

Form: 377224

Forecasts

Riknnah (13/8), Dashing Dick (10/3), Invincible Swagger (13/2), Riffaa Wonder (17/2), If You Dare (10/1), George Morland (11/1), Sugauli (14/1), Yorkshire Pirlo (28/1)

RIKNNAH's opening mark is an appealing one given the form she showed when beating a subsequent winner under a penalty in a novice at Lingfield so she is taken to complete the hat-trick. Dashing Dick should be on the premises again, while Sugauli shaped quite well on his handicap bow/return at Yarmouth and will be suited by the return to 7f.
