Bakr²⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler

17/2

Sole run for James Ferguson when 14/1-winner of 10-runner maiden at Kempton (7f) 8 months ago. Should have more to offer, so she can't be discounted on yard bow/return.

Form: 0-1

Cape Sunset¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: Rae Guest

5/4

Promising debut third of 15 in minor event (40/1) at Windsor (6f, good) in May. Off 137 days, but he's still not taken lightly.

Form: 3

River Tweed²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| BF

7/2

Twice-raced maiden, only seventh of 10 in minor event (9/4) at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago. Needs to step forward.

Form: 37

Dream A Little^h1,t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: E Walker

11/4

Off 12 months and tongue strap on when encouraging third of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 28 days ago. Hooded now and sort to progress further. Well worth considering for in-form yard.

Form: 7-3

(4)

Highest Wave²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: G R Oldroyd

12/1

66/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on her debut 21 days ago. Lots more is required here.

Form: 6

Cape Sunset (5/4), Dream A Little (11/4), River Tweed (7/2), Bakr (17/2), Highest Wave (12/1)

DREAM A LITTLE made an encouraging return when third at Kempton and with her fitness proven and further progress in the pipeline she gets the nod. A good case can be made for lightly-raced duo Cape Sunset and Bakr but they have absences to overcome which tips the balance in favour of Ed Walker's filly.
