6/1

Useful gelding who racked up her fourth win of the year in 7f handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago, keeping on gamely. Is clearly progressive, but faces no easy task on these terms.

Form: 725211

Useful gelding who won 5 times in 2020 and even better form this year, second of 6 to Khaadem in listed race (4/1) at Doncaster (5f, firm) 28 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 111-322

Tabdeed³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 108| D

6/5

Hackwood Stakes winner in 2020. Yet to score in 2021, but he arrives in good nick, runner-up in York listed race 31 days ago. Sets the standard.

Form: 10-4322

Bahrain Pride^t1³⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 98| DWS

Forecasts

Tabdeed (6/5), Royal Crusade (9/2), Soldier's Minute (9/2), Stylish Performer (6/1), Bahrain Pride (14/1), Live In The Moment (18/1)

This looks a good opportunity for TABDEED, who has been operating close to his smart best all season. Royal Crusade got back on track with a respectable third at Haydock last time and is feared most ahead of the likeable Live In The Moment.
