Intuitive^t,v⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 103| BF| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 6/4, 3½ lengths fourth of 6 to Stone Soldier in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Claims if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 610-244

Stone Soldier^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 100| D

11/4

Eight wins from 27 Flat runs. 5/1, didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago, driven out. AW record stands at 6-12 and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 31U-251

Tadreeb²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 89| CD

6/5

18/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and another bold show is anticipated.

Form: 3417-41

Papa Stour^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: S C Williams| OR: 88| D

13/2

Won 3-runner handicap (15/8) at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. This is more demanding, but he's clearly in good nick and likely to be on the premises once more.

Form: 1452-11

Bowman²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 84| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Six wins from 23 Flat runs. Four wins from 12 runs last year. 6¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Tadreeb in handicap at this C&D (AW, 33/1) 21 days ago. Clearly has work to do.

Form: 548-967

Forecasts

Tadreeb (6/5), Stone Soldier (11/4), Intuitive (11/2), Papa Stour (13/2), Bowman (11/1)

The vote goes to TADREEB, who displayed a potent turn of foot when striking at the second time of asking for this yard over C&D 3 weeks ago. There's a good chance that he has more to offer, particularly on the all-weather. Stone Soldier had Intuitive back in fourth when scoring at Southwell and is taken to confirm those placings and emerge as the main danger. Papa Stour merits respect, too.
