(1)

Alotaibi^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89| CD

8/1

C&D winner as a juvenile who was narrowly denied in a 7f Goodwood handicap in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his reappearance a month ago. Form has taken a couple of knocks but he's still respected for his leading stable.

Form: 129-2

(4)

Mystery Fox²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 87| D

9/1

Fairly useful 2-y-o who faded to finish fourth of 5 on his 1m Haydock reappearance 24 days ago. Quickly drops back to 7f now.

Form: 33521-4

(5)

Galiac¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 86| D

5/2

Opened his account in 7f Newcastle nursery last autumn and took his form up another notch when landing a warm 7f Goodwood handicap on reappearance 10 days ago. Raised 7 lb for that but still respected on his hat-trick bid.

Form: 92551-1

(3)

Hebrides²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84

5/2

Maiden/novice winner over 6f and likely more to come for a top yard in flying form now moving up in trip for handicap debut. Leading claims.

Form: 31-1

(7)

Archiano¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: A Watson| OR: 84| BF

14/1

Promising start to his career over 6f on AW, winning on Lingfield debut and achieving more when narrowly denied at Wolverhampton next time. Should stay 7f. Potential for better again on handicap debut. Considered under Buick.

Form: 12

(2)

Dream Show³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 81| BF| D

10/1

Won 7f Redcar novice (soft) on final 2-y-o start and probably best not to judge him too harshly on his reappearance/handicap debut run behind Alotaibi at Goodwood as things didn't go his way. Retains potential.

Form: 0621-6

(8)

Conservative⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade| OR: 80| BF

4/1

Came good in 1m Southwell novice in March. Better form when second of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (7f) since. Enters calculations back on turf. Withdrawn after upset in stalls at Beverley on May 2nd.

Form: 33-12

(9)

Neptune Legend^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| D

66/1

Best run this year when fifth of 12 in 6f Lingfield (AW) handicap on yard debut last month but failed to build on it back on turf at Newmarket since. Others are more obvious.

Form: 02-4659

Forecasts

Hebrides (5/2), Galiac (5/2), Conservative (4/1), Alotaibi (8/1), Ernie's Valentine (8/1), Mystery Fox (9/1), Dream Show (10/1), Archiano (14/1), Neptune Legend (66/1)

The William Haggas team has been in near unstoppable form in recent weeks and HEBRIDES is taken to provide the yard with yet another winner now moving into handicap company for the first time. Alotaibi, Archiano and Dream Show head the dangers in a competitive 3-y-o event.
