Farhh To Shy²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 87| D

4/1

Gained second career success at Yarmouth (7f) in August and ran a cracker to go down narrowly over C&D last time. Worth a chance to think she'll get her head back in front from 2 lb higher.

Form: 512142

(3)

Bernardo O'Reilly⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: M Dwyer| T: R Spencer| OR: 85| D

13/2

Useful and consistent operator who found only one too good at Newbury 8 days ago. Handles cut in the ground, so likely to be on the premises if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 802492

Roman Dynasty¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: J Parr| OR: 85

11/2

On a reasonable mark and was back on track to some extent when fifth at Kempton recently. Return to this trip will suit, so he's one to note down in grade.

Form: 736275

(7)

Taawfan⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 80

4/1

Looked promising last year and, on just her second outing of this campaign, shaped as if in need of the run at Chelmsford 51 days ago. Claims if handling conditions.

Form: 1527-75

Areehaa⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 79

5/1

Fairly useful handicapper who shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 8 in 7f event at Sandown 50 days ago, going well when not clear run 2f out. Remains of interest.

Form: 24-3636

Ptarmigan Ridge^p1³⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Elinor Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 77| D

66/1

Over 3 years since his last success and absent since finishing down the field at Doncaster 11 months ago. In cheekpieces for the first time, but hard to know how much ability he retains.

Form: 28828/0-

Colonel Whitehead¹²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: H Main| OR: 77| CD

14/1

Three-time winner last season, including over C&D, but hasn't returned in the same form this time around. Needs to bounce back after a 4-month break.

Form: 139-048

(10)

Dandys Derriere⁴²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Louis Steward| T: B J Meehan| OR: 76

11/1

Wolverhampton novice winner who underperformed in a similar event at Ascot when last seen 14 months ago. Still has some potential but reappears in a competitive event.

Form: 2126-

Le Reveur^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Murphy| OR: 68| D

11/2

Edging down the weights without threatening to capitalise, only fifth at Chelmsford 7 days ago, so others are more persuasive.

Form: 268985

Forecasts

Farhh To Shy (4/1), Taawfan (4/1), Areehaa (5/1), Le Reveur (11/2), Roman Dynasty (11/2), Bernardo O'Reilly (13/2), Dandys Derriere (11/1), Lough Cutra (12/1), Colonel Whitehead (14/1), Ptarmigan Ridge (66/1)

FARHH TO SHY is progressive on the whole and ran a cracker when a narrow second in soft ground over C&D earlier in the month, so she's fancied to go one better at the likely expense of Bernardo O'Reilly, who has been reliable of late. Areehaa also warrants consideration.
