Mr Tambourine Man¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: D Pipe

25/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. First run since leaving John Halley when fifth of 12 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft, 8/1) 15 days ago, needing stiffer test.

Form: 0/5

Zaammit³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Owen Burrows

5/2

Twice-raced winner. 4/7, built on debut promise when won 9-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, good) 30 days ago, staying on to lead final strides after hanging left. Should improve further.

Form: 61

Ceci Wells¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: P R Webber

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, showed plenty more than first time up when fourth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago, keeping on well.

Form: 04

Broughtons Mission³²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: John Berry

Makashi⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 78

13/8

Fairly useful gelding. 5/2, respectable second of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Solid each-way claims.

Form: 472722

Napoleon Warrior¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley

125/1

Offered little when eighth of 9 in minor event (125/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago. Huge step forward required to feature.

Form: 8

Won Love²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ross Coakley| T: J Tuite

66/1

Twice-raced maiden who after 9 months off, went backwards from debut (had a breathing operation) when seventh of 10 in maiden at Bath (8f, firm) 26 days ago. Plenty more needed.

Form: 7-7

(11)

Apache Charm

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: R Brisland

40/1

£2,500 yearling. Half-sister to 6f (including at 2 yrs) winner Ayasha and 2-y-o 6f winner Armageddon. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers, so probably best to look elsewhere this time.

Dancing To Win^p,h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Louis Steward| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| BF

6/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 12 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, soft) 28 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Hood back on. Difficult to oppose.

Form: 22-242

(4)

Essme²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger

125/1

Little show in pair of minor events at long odds so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 06

(7)

Roman Power^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Tom Clover

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. Went backwards from debut when fifth of 7 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 19 days ago. Probably best watched ahead of handicaps.

Form: 65

(8)

Tara¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Richards

150/1

Once-raced maiden. 100/1, offered little when ninth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (soft) on debut 19 days ago.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Dancing To Win (6/4), Makashi (13/8), Zaammit (5/2), Mr Tambourine Man (25/1), Ceci Wells (33/1), Apache Charm (40/1), Roman Power (40/1), Won Love (66/1), Essme (125/1), Vice Royal (125/1), Napoleon Warrior (125/1), Broughtons Mission (150/1), Tara (150/1)

This looks to revolve around Hugo Palmer's filly DANCING TO WIN, who was collared on the line at Windsor 4 weeks ago and with the cheekpieces quickly discarded, can go a place better here for a first success. Makashi has filled the runner-up spot 3 times in his last 4 starts and he may have to settle for silver once again, ahead of Zaammit.
