Dancing Harry^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Teal| OR: 81| CD

7/2

Back-to-back winner of handicaps over this trip for Roger Charlton last summer, including over C&D. By no means disgraced at Goodwood (1¾m, good) latest in a higher grade than this, so not taken lightly. Engaged 5.10 York Friday.

Form: 1657-25

Arabian Warrior^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 77

4/1

Lightly-raced gelding. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) on return 23 days ago but remains unproven on turf. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 126F/9-3

Moel Arthur^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Robert Tart| T: B R Johnson| OR: 77

7/4

Improved when making a winning handicap bow at Lingfield (13f, AW) in February on return and only just denied at Newbury on turf debut since, pulling clear of a subsequent winner. Remains of interest.

Form: 525-12

High Wells^b²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: F O'Brien| OR: 76| CD

13/2

Successful twice at up to 2m for Graeme McPherson during 2020. Missed last year but returned with respectable fifth at Kempton and built on that at second attempt when runner-up at Nottingham.

Form: 514/582

Indianapolis^v²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 73

Losing run goes back to 2019 and well held both starts this season.

Runrized^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: C Poulton| OR: 73

50/1

Fairly useful hurdler at best for Willie Mullins but offered little both starts for this yard, including back on the Flat at Salisbury 2 weeks ago.

Form: 215/60-7

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: P G Murphy| OR: 68

Creditable effort when second of 4 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford but struggled back there next time. Cheekpieces back on.

MOEL ARTHUR left his 3-y-o form well behind when making a winning handicap bow at Lingfield in February and stepped up again when only just denied on his turf debut at Newbury. He pulled clear of a subsequent winner that day so can resume winning ways. Tralee Hills should be suited by a return to this trip so is next best ahead of Dancing Harry, who is back down in class.
