Coolmeen Royal²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| CD

4/1

Lightly-raced C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 18/1) 27 days ago. Return to this trip should help, but others make more appeal all the same.

Form: 002-17

Crush And Run^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 75| BF| D

5/2

Winner at Lingfield in February. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 5/2) 17 days ago, running on late. Remains on a workable mark and he's high on the shortlist.

King Of Speed²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 74| D

14/1

Lightly-raced winner. Sixth of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (5f, 17/2) when last seen 7 months ago (gelded since). Didn't enjoy the best of runs on that occasion and he's not without hope here.

Form: 3106-

Bang On The Bell^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 72| CD

11/2

C&D winner last month (form figures here read 121). Sixth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft, 12/1) 14 days ago, but much better expected now back on the AW.

Form: 132216

Dusky Prince^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 69| D

3/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good, 5/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers back on. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 364534

Miss Belladonna⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 54| D

7/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in May. Good second of 9 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 9 days ago, just failing. 2 lb 'wrong' at the weights, but she's a key player nonetheless.

Form: 0-34212

Forecasts

Crush And Run (5/2), Dusky Prince (3/1), Coolmeen Royal (4/1), Bang On The Bell (11/2), Miss Belladonna (7/1), King Of Speed (14/1)

CRUSH AND RUN probably would've won had he got the breaks at Bath recently and, granted better luck this time, he will prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark. It's no secret that Bang On The Bell is more of a force on the all-weather than turf, so it's probably best to overlook his effort at Windsor last time and he is feared most ahead of Miss Belladonna.
