Seesawing²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland

33/1

Ran to a fair level when second on 6f AW debut in March but not in the same form when 6 lengths second on turf at Brighton (5f) 4 months later. Even a return to debut form unlikely to be enough.

Form: 32

Clownsman²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan| T: T Ward

100/1

25/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Salisbury (7f, soft) on debut 24 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Form: 9

No Sacrifice

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: B Lund

250/1

Coach House gelding. Dam 5f/5.3f winner. Likely this one is best watched on debut.

Prop Forward¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

11/10

Promising start to his career when only narrowly denied at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Likely to improve and another prominent showing looks assured.

Form: 2

Strike¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman

11/1

50/1, offered something to work on when fourth of 9 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) on debut 11 days ago but Prop Forward was ahead of him in second.

Form: 4

Tistaahal³⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P TregoningWS

6/1

33/1, well-held seventh on 6f Goodwood debut a year ago. Absent since. Has had wind surgery. Probably best watched unless the betting hints an improved showing is expected.

Form: 7-

(11)

Twilight Secret²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J Tate| BF

5/2

Lots of promise when second in 6f Wolverhampton novices 4 months apart, bumping into Dragon Symbol on debut. The horse who beat him latterly also looked very useful when winning again here on Friday.

Form: 22

Just Amber¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C G Cox

16/1

Better effort in 6f AW novices earlier in the year when third of 13 at Wolverhampton in March. Should have more to offer but jockey bookings suggest Prop Forward is the stable first string here.

Form: 63

(2)

Ray Day³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: E Walker

9/1

Left her course debut run behind when narrowly denied at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago. It's likely there's more to come from her. Respected.

Form: 52

Where's The Dog

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Brotherton

300/1

Mortga filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Slow Down and 1½m winner Natsovia. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 6f winner).

Forecasts

Prop Forward (11/10), Twilight Secret (5/2), Strike Me A Pose (5/1), Tistaahal (6/1), Ray Day (9/1), Strike (11/1), Just Amber (16/1), Seesawing (33/1), Clownsman (100/1), No Sacrifice (250/1), Where's The Dog (300/1)

TWILIGHT SECRET was turned over as a favourite at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago but the form received a boost when the winner readily landed a handicap here last Friday and James Tate's charge is well worth another chance. Prop Forward and Ray Day are the pair likely to give him most to think about.
