Ajrad^h1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 66| BF

11/4

2/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Hood on 1st time and he has to be high on the list here with conditions in his favour.

Form: 26369-3

Silver Dollar⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: David Egan| T: R Eddery| OR: 66

13/2

Latest win at Kempton in April. 5/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.2f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Tries a new trip here and one or two may prove too strong for him. Yard also saddles Arlo's Sunshine.

Form: 524115

Epic Express^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 62

5/1

Winner at Kempton in October. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 47213-6

Spanish Mane^p¹⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 60| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 10/1). Off 6 months and her record when fresh suggests that this may not be the day to lend her support.

Form: 945158-

Eyes⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 60| D

8/1

Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 43 days ago, left poorly placed. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 8-62205

Hi Ho Silver¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁷⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 58| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Last of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 20/1). Off 6 months and this 8-y-o is probably worth taking on, for all that he's capable off this sort of mark.

Form: 140810-

Oud Metha Bridge^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 57| C

10/1

Course winner. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft, 16/1) 20 days ago. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 60-1697

(6)

Habanero Star¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 53

9/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 7/1, creditable second of 10 in claimer at Leicester (7f, heavy) when last seen in October. Runner-up three times in 1m handicaps here last season and shouldn't be too far away.

Form: 224282-

Arlo's Sunshine⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R Eddery| OR: 50| BF| D

9/2

Latest win at Southwell in March. 3/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Hayne and he'll probably come up short returned to turf.

Form: 3-33116

Forecasts

Ajrad (11/4), Arlo's Sunshine (9/2), Epic Express (5/1), Silver Dollar (13/2), Eyes (8/1), Habanero Star (9/1), Oud Metha Bridge (10/1), Hi Ho Silver (16/1), Spanish Mane (22/1)

It's fair to say that AJRAD possesses his share of quirks, but the fitting of a hood could prove beneficial and he is appealing on the back of an encouraging reappearance third on the all-weather at Lingfield. Epic Express should be in the mix, while Habanero Star makes some each-way appeal back at this venue.
