9/1

10/3, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to soft) 17 days ago.Eased in class here off 1 lb lower and will be a threat if taking to this surface.

6/1

Dual C&D winner, the latest in December. 13/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D 69 days ago. Remains on a workable mark and shouldn't be far away, particularly if he settles better than he did last time.

Form: 611-254

Boasty^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 66| D

5/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good, 3/1) 15 days ago. Very modest strike rate (2-28) and others make more appeal.

Form: 7-92125

5/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 17/2) 19 days ago, never nearer. Significantly up in trip and each-way chance if she sees it out.

Form: 36230-5

Cerulean^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 65| D

33/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in January. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and one or two of these look stronger.

Forecasts

Goodwood Glen (5/2), Sagauteur (10/3), Katyusha (5/1), Boasty (5/1), Jomont (6/1), Molinari (9/1), Cerulean (33/1)

The one who appeals most is GOODWOOD GLEN, who has improved upped in trip the last twice, scoring at Ayr prior to narrowly failing to master Detective at Hamilton, form which was franked when the winner went in again at Carlisle recently. Sagauteur is second choice, though a case can also be constructed for Molinari, and Katyusha shouldn't be far away if coping with this step up in trip.
