Clarendon House²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 99| D

7/1

Progressive at 3, winning 4 of his 6 starts. Smart effort will be needed to defy this sort of mark on his return but he could easily have more to come in 2022.

Form: 114211-

(10)

Tone The Barone^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 97| D

10/1

Twelve wins from 28 Flat runs, including Lingfield handicap and Wolverhampton conditions events on his last 2 starts. Effective on turf. Should give another good account.

Form: 91-3511

(6)

Atalanta's Boy^h²⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Menuisier| OR: 96| C

10/1

Won for a fifth time over 6f here when seeing off 8 rivals in handicap last August. Likely has the speed for 5f but he can be a slow starter which he likely wouldn't get away with at this trip.

Form: 19P010-

Raasel^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: M Appleby| OR: 94| CD

11/4

First leg of a quick 5-timer last autumn came over C&D. Shaped as if possibly just needing run when fifth of 11 on Musselburgh reappearance 13 days ago. Should be spot on now. Respected.

Form: 11111-5

Stone Of Destiny¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 94| D

11/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Shaped with some encouragement when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Well treated if he can build on that.

Form: 050-607

(1)

Live In The Moment⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: A West| OR: 93| D

13/2

Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Failed to make a significant impact in Dubai at the start of this year but certainly very competitive off this sort of mark if back to near his best.

Form: 256-477

(5)

Fine Wine^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 87| BF| D

13/2

Latest win at Southwell in April. 10/3, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago.

Form: 441123

(4)

Mokaatil^b,t¹⁰^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Planas⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82| D

12/1

Won Epsom Dash in 2021 and back to winning ways returned to Epsom last week, running on strongly from off a good pace to lead in the closing stages. 4 lb penalty demands more again.

Form: 006-761

(9)

Lihou^v1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 79| D

20/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 11 days ago. Visor on first time.

Form: 36-2438

(2)

Lucky Ava¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 77| D

40/1

Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsfordy in February. 16/1, below form 4¼ lengths seventh of 12 to reopposing Mokaatil in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago.

Form: 23-3137

Forecasts

Raasel (11/4), Stone Of Destiny (11/2), Fine Wine (13/2), Live In The Moment (13/2), Clarendon House (7/1), Tone The Barone (10/1), Atalanta's Boy (10/1), Mokaatil (12/1), Lihou (20/1), Lucky Ava (40/1)

A chance is taken on STONE OF DESTINY who has dropped to a good mark and shaped as if back in form at Newmarket last time. Raasel should be sharper with a recent reappearance run behind him and can resume his progression and provide the chief threat ahead of Tone The Barone.
