Shirbo²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: H Spiller| OR: 74

50/1

First run since leaving Nick Littmoden when last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and this should reveal more.

Form: 51-5767

(5)

World Without Love¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73

5/2

Yet to win a race but posted creditable effort when third of 8 in maiden (4/1) at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 11 days ago.

Form: 44-423

Ward Castle^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 71

6/1

Shade too keen in first-time blinkers when fifth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces now the headgear of choice.

Form: 332-75

(2)

Eight Of Diamonds^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 68| D

5/2

Winner at Lingfield in April. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Carlisle (11.2f, good) 10 days ago, just failing having been held up. Same mark here and he has to be of serious interest in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 2-21232

Vaynor²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| OR: 67

7/2

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm, 3/1) 20 days ago, well on top finish. 6 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.

Form: 75-4471

(3)

Jalea Moon²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 66

6/1

Winner at Yarmouth in April. 7/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, better placed than most. Consistent rather than progressive but likely to run well.

Form: 468142

Forecasts

Eight Of Diamonds (5/2), World Without Love (5/2), Vaynor (7/2), Jalea Moon (6/1), Ward Castle (6/1), Shirbo (50/1)

EIGHT OF DIAMONDS continues to go the right way, doing well to finish second given how the race unfolded at Carlisle 10 days ago and from the same mark with a good-value claimer booked, he has a lot in his favour. Vaynor won well at Bath and is second choice, ahead of World Without Love.
