King Of War^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 62

10/1

18/1, first run since leaving Harry & Roger Charlton when fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Mark has eased a little more and drop in grade can only help.

Form: 3-85464

Golden Whisper^p⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 62| BF

40/1

Fair form when placed twice towards the end of 2021. Yet, some way below that level on AW earlier this year, fourth of 5 in seller at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in February, folding having been headed 1f out. Break needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 932-674

Life's A Beach⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Fahy| T: R Hannon| OR: 61| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden who caught the eye when finishing good fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (1m) 6 days ago, forced to switch entering final 1f but finishing well. Rates a serious player off same mark.

Form: 4796-5

Burtonlodge Beauty⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 59

22/1

14/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) in February, weakening inside final 1f. Needs to bounce back now stepping up significantly in trip.

Form: 43220-8

(9)

Attache^b1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 59

6/1

Maiden who ran below pick of his 2-y-o form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Bath (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago, weakening final 1f. Feasible to think fitting of first-time blinkers can have positive effect now. Not dismissed.

Form: 5450-78

Storm Asset^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T E Whelan| T: M Wigham| OR: 59| D

10/1

Steadily progressive in AW handicaps this year, gaining third success at Newcastle (7f) in March. Hard to knock his efforts in defeat since (not seen to best effect latest) and he's respected back on turf.

Sir Duke^b,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 54

22/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, ridden 1f out and keeping on. Back up in trip now and not discounted for each-way purposes.

Form: 7-92743

Vive La Reine^b1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: D M Simcock| OR: 52

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good sixth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 48 days ago, keeping on for pressure from over 1f out. Remains early days and she may be worth a try over further in due course. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 7806

Kelapa¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: E J Walsh| T: J Parr| OR: 51

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) in December, never a threat. Should at least hold more chance now handicapping on return and worth a precautionary market check for clues.

Form: 890-

Huntsman's Moon⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 45 days ago. Needs to step up plenty now switched to handicaps on turf debut.

Form: 887

Gun Dog²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49

25/1

Eleventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive.

Form: 9-97960

(3)

The Charmer^h1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Murphy| OR: 49

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 12/1) 22 days ago, seemingly worried out of it late on. Hood goes on switched back to turf now.

Form: 000-72

(13)

Eddy May²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 45

13/2

20/1, produced best effort to date when third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago, no extra only late on. Has a lowly mark to work with and not discounted dropped back to 7f.

Form: 78-7503

Forecasts

Life's A Beach (2/1), Attache (6/1), Eddy May (13/2), The Charmer (8/1), King Of War (10/1), Storm Asset (10/1), Vive La Reine (10/1), Surrey Territories (14/1), Arpina (16/1), Kelapa (18/1), Sir Duke (22/1), Burtonlodge Beauty (22/1), Gun Dog (25/1), Huntsman's Moon (40/1), Golden Whisper (40/1)

LIFE'S A BEACH remains low-mileage and was noted finishing to good effect when a close-up fifth on return at Bath (1m) 6 days ago and, with potential for better still firmly intact, he can open his account running off the same mark. Eddy May who ran well at Windsor and Storm Asset head up the dangers, whilst Attache could well step up now the blinkers are fitted for the first-time.
