Majestic Dawn^b³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: P & O Cole| OR: 105| D

11/1

Seen to good effect when landing last year's Cambridgeshire (blinkered first time) under this rider. Good third on return in Windsor handicap last month and expect to see him go forward.

Form: 513/01-3

Johnny Drama^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 103| D

17/2

Enjoyed a fine AW campaign and back to form when winning the John Smith's Cup at York earlier this month, all out from Cockalorum. Up 5 lb and he'll need a career best to follow up.

Form: 1115-51

Victory Chime¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101| CD

14/1

Likeable C&D winner who scored again at Epsom (10f) in April from Sky Defender. Held in the Wolferton and John Smith's Cup the last twice though, and clearly needs more from this sort of mark.

Form: 2-31200

Cockalorum¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 99| D

12/1

Has made up into a cracking handicapper, winning twice in May before a gallant second to Johnny Drama in the John Smith's Cup at York. Up 4 lb and having first run here. Wouldn't dismiss.

Form: 13-2112

(7)

Sky Defender¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 99| D

16/1

Second to stablemate Maydanny 12 months ago off 5 lb higher (course form figures are 22) on the back of a shocker in the John Smith's Cup and heavily beaten again at York this year. Not won in 18.

Form: 442490

Lucander¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 97| D

13/2

Four-time winner and split Majestic Dawn and Bell Rock in last year's Cambridgeshire. Not seen to best effect in the John Smith's Cup last time but might benefit from further now.

Form: 283-200

Caradoc⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 96| D

9/1

Multiple winner in 2019 and didn't run too badly in some strong handicaps last season. Should be sharper for last month's Haydock return and leaves the impression he has a bigger performance in him.

Form: 4/6903-4

(10)

Ouzo³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 96

18/1

Won big-field York handicap in October and best effort this year when hitting the frame in the Royal Hunt Cup penultimate start. Not sure he wants this far.

Form: 01-7045

(14)

Migration³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 95| BF| D

2/1

Dual winner in 2019 and unlucky not to make a successful return after 21 months off at Salisbury, finishing strongly after conceding first run. Has the potential to climb even higher and respected.

Form: 77125/4

(13)

Data Protection^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: P J McDonald| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 92| D

33/1

Back to winning ways in 6-runner Newmarket handicap over this sort of trip last month and possibly did too much too soon in front at Ascot next time. This is even tougher.

Form: 05-3315

(8)

It's Good To Laugh¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Candlish| OR: 92

9/1

Has just a maiden win to his name but again went close in a class 2 handicap at Chester (11.3f, soft) earlier this month, losing out dying strides. Wouldn't dismiss back in trip under Murphy.

Form: 2725-92

Forecasts

Migration (2/1), Maydanny (6/1), Lucander (13/2), Harrovian (8/1), Johnny Drama (17/2), Caradoc (9/1), It's Good To Laugh (9/1), Majestic Dawn (11/1), Cockalorum (12/1), Victory Chime (14/1), Sky Defender (16/1), Dream With Me (16/1), Bell Rock (16/1), Ouzo (18/1), Breath Caught (20/1), Bugle Major (20/1), Plantadream (25/1), Data Protection (33/1)

MAYDANNY is 12 lb higher in the weights than for last year's pillar-to-post success but it's more than fair judged on his excellent Sandown second earlier this month and his claims are obvious. Migration made a most eye-catching return at Salisbury and is capable of better if building on that. Caradoc has a big handicap in him and is another to consider.
