Chocoya^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 95| CD

13/2

C&D winner last season before good fourth in Newmarket listed race on final start. Not seen to best effect either start this term and goes back into a handicap from last winning mark.

Form: 7114-76

(6)

Tomouh^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 90| D

7/1

First past the post but subsequently demoted to second in 9-runner handicap at this course (7f, 16/1) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly from 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 4224-8D

Zim Baby^h⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 89| D

11/1

Latest win at Windsor in April. 16/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Seemingly in a lull at present and others more persuasive.

Form: 314806

Aramis Grey¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: Rae Guest| OR: 84| CD

4/1

C&D winner has scored at Wolverhampton and Windsor this term. 10/1, too far back to land blow when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Solid frame claims.

Form: 341415

Princess Shabnam¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: S Woods| OR: 90| BF| D

10/1

Creditable placed efforts on last 2 starts, only beaten a quarter of a length when third of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 15 days ago. This is bit tougher but she's clearly in good heart.

Form: 18-0723

Tarhib⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 81| DWS

7/4

Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, fourteenth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) on return 47 days ago. Has had a wind op since. Interesting that connections persevere with her and could be worth another chance.

Form: 2/118-0

System³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 85| D

8/1

Listed winner at 2 yrs but is yet to fire this season. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 1580-86

(8)

El Hadeeyah^p⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: N Callan| T: J Tate| OR: 80| D

33/1

Shaped as if amiss when last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 6/1) on return 83 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Patchy enough profile last term and must improve.

Form: 10326-6

Forecasts

Tarhib (7/4), Aramis Grey (4/1), Chocoya (13/2), Tomouh (7/1), System (8/1), Princess Shabnam (10/1), Zim Baby (11/1), El Hadeeyah (33/1)

A chance is taken that the unexposed TARHIB can show a truer reflection of her ability than on her underwhelming return. She's had a wind op since then and it's interesting that connections have persevered with her. Chocoya is interesting back in handicap company, whilst Tomouh and Aramis Grey both arrive in decent form.
