Total Commitment²⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 94| D

18/1

Easy to ignore Ayr Gold Cup run on final start last season and consistent prior to that, including fourth in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood. Can figure if ready to roll on return.

Global Prospector²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 93| D

14/1

Had a terrific 2021, scoring 4 times. Not disgraced when fourth of 7 on Newbury reappearance and entitled to be sharper with the run under his belt. Respected.

Form: 31112-4

Hello Me¹²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 90| BF| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in December. 5/2, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6f) in January. Freshened up since.

Form: 13121-5

Marks Bear⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 88| D

18/1

Good record on AW, going close at Lingfield (6f) when last seen in February. Claims if returning from a break in similar form.

Form: 1722-22

A Sure Welcome^p²¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: J L Spearing| OR: 87| C| D

50/1

Pair of 5f course wins last summer but not at his best in the autumn. Back on a workable mark but watching brief the percentage call after 7 months off.

Chipstead¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: T E Whelan| T: R A Teal| OR: 86| D

18/1

On the up when completing a Bath hat-trick at the end of last summer. Not in quite the same form in 2 outings this year but there's still time for him to regain the progressive thread.

Form: 2111-86

Indian Creak³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 80| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Headed only in the final strides when second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good) on Friday. De Sousa takes ride again and obvious chance off same mark if coping with the quick turnaround.

Form: 593-072

Inver Park²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey| OR: 80| BF| D

9/4

Promising second on C&D yard debut/reappearance and creditable third on AW at Southwell since. Appeals as one who should strike for this yard before long and a chance turf suits him better than AW. Player.

Form: 5444-23

Media Guest⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: G G Margarson| OR: 79| D

20/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (5f) 45 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip for turf return.

Form: 217-526

(5)

Shobiz¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hills| OR: 79| D

9/2

7f maiden winner last autumn who was well suited by the return to 6f when making a successful reappearance in Goodwood handicap last month. Form boosted since so a 2 lb rise may not prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 32217-1

The Princes Poet²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72| C

40/1

Pair of 5f course wins last summer. Also second here (5f again) on return. Failed to build on that when only fifth of 7 at Bath since but may do better back at a venue which clearly suits.

Form: 1400-25

Forecasts

Inver Park (9/4), Indian Creak (9/4), Shobiz (9/2), Nelson Gay (13/2), Hello Me (11/1), Global Prospector (14/1), Total Commitment (18/1), Chipstead (18/1), Marks Bear (18/1), Media Guest (20/1), The Princes Poet (40/1), A Sure Welcome (50/1)

It's surely only a matter of time before INVER PARK is winning for George Boughey so he may prove the answer to this wide-open sprint. Friday's Newbury runner-up Indian Creak heads the many dangers along with Shobiz and Marks Bear.
