13/8

Opened his account for the season in emphatic style in 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (16f, firm) 15 days ago. Up 4 lb but reliable sort who is expected to be bang there over this longer distance.

9/2

Back on song when bagging 12-runner handicap (6/1) at Kempton (16f) 21 days ago, running on. Up in trip and can give another good account despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 11-4871

Be My Sea¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

15/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2016, and only sixth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (16f) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back now stepping up in trip.

Forecasts

Tigerten (13/8), Van Meegeren (10/3), Anisoptera (9/2), Be My Sea (15/2), Russian Rumour (8/1), Cloud Thunder (8/1), Vorashann (12/1), Mukha Magic (33/1), Clongowes (66/1)

TIGERTEN won in excellent style at Chepstow last month and can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights with this longer trip expected to play to his strengths. Course-winner Van Meegeren rates next on the list, with Kempton-victor Anisoptera another who is worth considering despite having a career-high mark to overcome.
