Bo Kaap

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry

11/4

Mount Nelson gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to hurdler Multiviz. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 7f). Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Desert Stranger

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: R M Smith

125/1

£12,500 3-y-o, Helmet gelding. Dam 7f winner. Best opposed unless he attracts good support.

Form:

Idem

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

13/2

€26,000 3-y-o, Rail Link gelding. A winner, and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Cote d'Azur and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fortuitous. Will probably lack the pace of some.

Form:

Legionar³²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris

10/3

Related to a number of Flat winners and showed up well when third at Huntingdon a month ago, finishing with running left. Stable is flying and the longer trip will suit. Player.

Form: 3

Profiles Mix

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

33/1

Gemix gelding. Half-brother to Belle du Bresil. Dam maiden on Flat. Others make more appeal.

Form:

Sandringham

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: M Hofer

5/1

Dream Ahead gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Surin. Dam lightly raced on Flat.

Form:

Saveasea

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

3/1

Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to useful 1m-2m winner Mandatario. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal for top yard.

Form:

Poetria³²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Walford

22/1

Hint of ability when mid-field at Huntingdon first time out, but unlikely to reverse form with Legionar.

Form: 6

Simply Red^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

50/1

Didn't offer much in a Market Rasen bumper 3 weeks ago, so hard to imagine she'll feature in this.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Bo Kaap (11/4), Saveasea (3/1), Legionar (10/3), Sandringham (5/1), Idem (13/2), Poetria (22/1), Profiles Mix (33/1), Simply Red (50/1), Desert Stranger (125/1)

LEGIONAR shaped with plenty of encouragement when third at Huntingdon on debut and should improve for this extra test of stamina. He's fancied to put his experience to good use against some interesting newcomers, the most notable of which are Saveasea and Bo Kaap.
