Haunted Dream²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 85| D

10/3

Has returned in top form this spring, scoring comfortably at Beverley and Lingfield. Only up 4 lb for latest success and return to this trip shouldn't be an issue, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 6512-11

Bolthole²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84

11/8

Made winning start at Windsor in August and, following a breathing operation and 7 months off, got back on track when third in a Sandown handicap on reappearance. Needs to build on that.

Form: 16-3

Spy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80

14/1

Gelded and much improved when making all in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in March, but failed to back it up at Epsom later that month. Could bounce back.

Form: 438-19

Canters Well¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 78

11/2

Fair maiden who made a mildly encouraging start for this stable when third in a maiden at Yarmouth 16 days ago, promising to come on for the run. Mark demands improvement, but he's not fully exposed.

Form: 0254-3

Alvediston^h⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 71

15/2

Never really kicked on for William Haggas and was picked up relatively cheaply by new connections, so he has a bit to prove after a short break.

Form: 645-37

(6)

Bulleit³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Jarvis| OR: 67

13/2

Progressive sort who scored comfortably at Kempton in March, then was a shade unlucky not to follow up there last time. Longer trip should suit, so he's a big player.

Form: 70-1512

Forecasts

Bolthole (11/8), Haunted Dream (10/3), Canters Well (11/2), Bulleit (13/2), Alvediston (15/2), Spy (14/1)

BULLEIT is on the up and shaped best having come from an unpromising position at Kempton last time, so he is fancied to get back to winning ways for all he's not fully proven on turf as yet. Haunted Dream makes plenty of appeal as well.
