Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Ross Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 66| C

28/1

Course winner who ran respectably when second of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 53 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Up in trip.

Fitzrovia^b¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 65| D

4/1

Ran right up to his best back on turf when second of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). The pair were well clear of the rest that day, so he has to be taken seriously from only 4 lb higher.

Form: 110-86D

Eye Of The Water³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Harris| OR: 64| C| D

9/1

Course winner who ran creditably when second of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 35 days ago. Player if turning up in similar form.

Keep Right On^b³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 63| D

11/2

Stepped up on recent run when second of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 38 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to continue in form back on turf.

Form: 231-302

(11)

Hiromichi³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 63

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden who went backwards from reappearance when ninth of 11 in 10f handicap at Newbury (good) 33 days ago, fading after racing keenly again. Return to shorter looks a good move.

Form: 4/45-09

Aviary^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 60

25/1

13/2 and hooded for 1st time, stepped up on her reappearance run when second of 6 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm) 21 days ago. Potentially on a good mark if she can reproduce that.

Form: 5720-02

(3)

Say Grace²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 64| D

66/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year but followed a respectable effort with a poor one at Chepstow last time. Back up in trip.

Form: 811266

Senorita⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 57| CD

15/8

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at this C&D (soft, 15/2) 8 days ago, dictating. Encounters different conditions today but still respected under a 6 lb penalty.

Form: 550-51

Kensington Agent¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62

Bonus³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: J R Boyle| OR: 56| D

11/2

On a handy mark and threatening to come good again soon, shaping well when a staying-on second at Yarmouth in June. Did too much too soon at Sandown since, so worth another chance.

Form: 40-5420

(5)

Jastar¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: R Potter| OR: 60

125/1

Runner-up in Lingfield maiden in January but well below form last 3 outings, including on first run since leaving Tom Clover at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Senorita (15/8), Fitzrovia (4/1), Bonus (11/2), Keep Right On (11/2), Hiromichi (6/1), Eye Of The Water (9/1), Pope Gregory (10/1), Port Noir (12/1), Aviary (25/1), On Edge (25/1), Handytalk (28/1), Kensington Agent (40/1), Say Grace (66/1), Jastar (125/1)

FITZROVIA lost the race in the stewards' room at Chepstow 11 days ago having been deemed to have intimidated the second, but with the pair a long way clear of the rest that day, he's taken to make amends from a 4 lb higher mark. Bonus did too much too soon at Sandown last time and had been threatening to come good prior to that, so he's not taken lightly, with recent C&D winner Senorita respected under a penalty.
