Bernardo O'Reilly²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 89| D

5/2

Below form both starts since scoring at Doncaster in March, only sixth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Newbury (6f, good) 27 days ago. Probably remains high enough in the weights.

Form: 230-196

(5)

Aplomb⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 88| CD

5/1

Consistent without winning last season and shaped as if needing run on return at Newmarket (5f, good) 56 days ago. Previous C&D winner with a good chance on pick of form.

Form: 2F430-9

(4)

Mobashr^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 88

8/1

Won 3 times in 2021, including at Lingfield in December. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago. Place claims if coping with the shortest trip he's ever faced.

Form: 31-5475

(6)

Mitrosonfire¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 83| D

7/2

Productive 2021 campaign saw him notch up 4 wins but hasn't made much impact so far this year, eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 12 days ago. Hard to know where he's at.

Form: 2840-48

Corvair^p,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 82| D

11/1

Untrustworthy individual. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Hinted at revival when seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 80/1) 22 days ago, left with too much to do, but generally an opposable customer.

Form: 32-6887

(2)

Abate¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 80| C| D

10/3

Course winner. Ran best race for while when second of 7 in handicap here (5f, good, 7/2) 18 days ago. Step back up in trip is a positive and he's one to consider.

Form: 059-942

Forecasts

Bernardo O'Reilly (5/2), Abate (10/3), Mitrosonfire (7/2), Aplomb (5/1), Mobashr (8/1), Cold Stare (8/1), Corvair (11/1)

ABATE has taken a few runs to get going this year but looked back to form last time and can take this event over a trip which is probably his best nowadays. Aplomb can be expected to produce a better showing than on his return, whilst Cold Stare would also be a threat if the ground stays on the softer side.
