Equality¹¹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 82| D

10/11

Career best when bounding clear in 10-runner handicap at Windsor (5f, good) on reappearance 11 days ago. 7 lb well-in under a penalty so he'll take a lot of stopping if able to repeat that form this afternoon.

Form: 00364-1

Rebel At Dawn^v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 86| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Probably needed the run when below-form sixth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, soft, 12/1) on reappearance 11 days ago. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 54253-6

Ancient Times²⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 80| BF| D

13/2

Largely progressive last season, winning twice over 6f. Possible he could kick on again this term but got to be a chance he'll need it after 6 months off.

Form: 315125-

Cooperation¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 77

16/1

Three wins last year but he was beaten 6¼ lengths into fourth by Equality at Windsor (5f, good) last week so he'll do well to turn the tables.

Form: 5103-84

J R Cavagin²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 75| D

25/1

Dual winner in 2020 but very lightly raced since, finishing last of 11 on Newcastle return 25 days ago. Can only be watched after that.

Form: 611/96-0

Lynns Boy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 72| BF| D

6/1

Easy winner at Southwell (5f) in March. Couldn't fully confirm that improvement when third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 5/4) 10 days later. Freshened up ahead of this return to turf. Is unexposed at 5f.

Form: 492/3-13

Buniann²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: P T Midgley| OR: 67| D

25/1

Won off 9 lb higher on AW last autumn but well below form in recent starts. Bounce back needed on turf return.

Form: 18-3889

Forecasts

Equality (10/11), Rebel At Dawn (4/1), Lynns Boy (6/1), Ancient Times (13/2), Cooperation (16/1), J R Cavagin (25/1), Buniann (25/1)

EQUALITY had a good deal in hand at Windsor at the start of last week and will be very hard to beat under a 5 lb penalty if showing up in the same form. Lynns Boy has made a decent start for the Denis Quinn yard and may follow the selection home ahead of Rebel At Dawn.
