Gisburn²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 98

15/2

Has a good sprint pedigree and improved to double his tally in a Newbury nursery on his final juvenile outing 7 months ago. Very much the type to do better as a 3-y-o, so well respected on return.

Form: 41001-

Bosh³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hannon| OR: 97

11/2

Progressive last season and, despite signing off with a poor run, he was right back on the up when third in a Newbury handicap on reappearance. Straightforward type who is likely to play a hand.

Form: 21120-3

Annaf²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: M Appleby| OR: 95| BF

17/2

Dual winner at Newcastle, latest last in March, and far from disgraced in better company since, eighth in a Newmarket handicap last time. Others look better treated, though.

River Pride⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 91| D

15/2

Nursery winner on the AW final 2-y-o start and improved again to make a winning return in 5-runner handicap at Salisbury. Good second at Newmarket (a week ago) since and should give another good account.

Form: 3391-12

Find²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 91| D

7/1

Useful performer who travelled well for a long when third at Chelmsford in March but wasn't in the same form at Sandown next time. Drop back in trip should suit.

Form: 187-338

Evocative Spark^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: G Boughey| OR: 90| D

11/2

Lightly-raced sort who has upped his game since joining current yard, making all in ready fashion at Beverley a month ago. More to come, so capable of defying a rise.

Form: 4142-21

My Dubawi³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87| D

12/1

Dual winner on AW this year and simply seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip at Newcastle last time. Needs to prove himself on turf, but can't be ruled out.

Form: 61-1217

Wonderful World¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 86WS

9/1

Dual winner last term, latterly in a novice at Doncaster on his final outing. Stable likely to have him pretty straight for this comeback run, but there are others with more potential.

Form: 168921-

War In Heaven¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 83

6/1

Landed a pair of 6f events during the winter (novice/handicap) and got back on the up when runner-up at Ascot 15 days ago. Can get involved if he has a strong pace to aim at.

Form: 34-1142

Galiac²⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 79| D

16/1

Lightly-raced colt who opened his account in game fashion in a nursery at Newcastle 6 months ago. Should do better still this term, but hard to know if he'll be tuned up for this return.

Forecasts

Alotaibi (4/1), Bosh (11/2), Evocative Spark (11/2), War In Heaven (6/1), Find (7/1), Gisburn (15/2), River Pride (15/2), Annaf (17/2), Wonderful World (9/1), My Dubawi (12/1), Galiac (16/1), Nuvolari (25/1)

EVOCATIVE SPARK was impressive at Beverley in April and, while this is much more competitive, he can improve again to follow up on his third outing for George Boughey. The likeable Bosh is probably the main danger, although Alotaibi should be on the premises if cheekpieces have a positive effect once more.
