50/1

12/1, very good second of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 48 days ago. Far from certain to back that up.

28/1

17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f). Cheekpieces go back on, but he's liable to need this first run for 8 months.

Form: 427483-

66/1

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

18/1

Very good third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 15/2) 27 days ago. Arrives in form but seemingly lacks the ability to defy even this basement mark.

Form: 6-86043

(11)

Forecasts

Motawaazy (6/5), My Thought (5/2), Desert Dream (7/1), Mudawwan (11/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (14/1), Gently Spoken (18/1), Lake Sand (20/1), Quercus (25/1), Thriller's Moon (28/1), B Fifty Two (33/1), Outtake (50/1), Straffan (66/1), Another Bond (66/1), Requinto's Rose (125/1), Sir Taaj (125/1)

MOTAWAAZY found only an improver too good at Beverley last week and, under another positive ride, he could prove a tough nut to crack if the race doesn't come too soon. My Thought is on the up and showed a good attitude when opening his account at Thirsk, so he's the obvious danger in a race that lacks depth despite the numbers.
