Olympus^v1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, good third of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Redcar (14f, good) 29 days ago. Visor on 1st time and improvement needed if he's to emerge on top here.

Form: 775-3

Wor Willie²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 65

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm, 6/1) 26 days ago. Eased 2 lb since and needs considering in this lower grade.

Form: 33-353

Alambrista⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 63| BF

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in handicap (5/4) at Brighton (9.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago. This stiffer test could be just what she needs and a bold show anticipated.

Clansman¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 62

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good) 16 days ago. Up in trip and by no means a forlorn hope.

Form: 9-5444

Ventura Kingdom⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 49

10/1

Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 11/2) 8 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and should make his presence felt.

18/1

33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he has a bit to prove at present.

(4)

Madame Cholet¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 46

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Wor Willie (15/8), Olympus (9/4), Alambrista (5/1), Clansman (5/1), Ventura Kingdom (10/1), Desert Quest (18/1), Madame Cholet (150/1)

WOR WILLIE hasn't troubled the judge since switched to handicaps, but he's eased in grade now and is well worth another chance over this new trip given the level of ability that he showed in maiden/novice company. Alambrista failed to measure up to market expectations on return/handicap debut at Brighton, but this stiffer test should help and she is feared most ahead of Clansman.
