(1)

Motawaafeq^p⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 70| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. 25/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 45 days ago, doing too much too soon. Every chance if back to best.

Form: 730-767

(5)

Calin's Lad²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| D

9/4

Below par latest but had been in form when placed on 3 of his 4 starts prior to that. Can play a part if back to his best.

Form: 42-5329

(6)

General Sago⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 69

2/1

Fair maiden. First run since leaving David O'Meara when third of 5 in novice at this course (6f) 41 days ago. Big player dropped into a seller.

Form: 03332-3

(4)

Silent Queen³⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 79

33/1

Good shout at this level if close to the form she showed when winning twice on AW for George Boughey at the start of 2021. Not in the same form when last seen in the summer of that year. First run for yard after 10 months off.

Form: 006784-

(2)

Wiseacre

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A Watson

4/1

375,000 gns yearling but changed hands for 8,000 gns last year. From a good yard and would very much enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied.

Namjong Boys^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 49

80/1

Poor form so far, including with cheekpieces added for last week's handicap debut/reappearance. Improvement needed.

Form: 090-7

Forecasts

General Sago (2/1), Calin's Lad (9/4), Motawaafeq (10/3), Wiseacre (4/1), Inaam (7/1), Silent Queen (33/1), Namjong Boys (80/1)

GENERAL SAGO could be sharper for his recent comeback outing for his new stable and is selected to take advantage of a drop in grade. Motawaafeq is more than capable at this level and is respected for Mick Appleby. Silent Queen would also be sure to play a prominent role if back to anywhere near her best on her return for a new stable, while a market move for Archie Wason newcomer Wiseacre would also look significant.
