18/1

Four-time course winner. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago, merely closing up late. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Melody Of Life^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: A M Balding| OR: 86| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Form figures on the AW read 32313 and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 7-81336

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: J P Spencer| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 85| D

11/4

11/1, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut (2-2 on tapeta) and visor on 1st time. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 24/11-30

Out From Under³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 83| BF| D

13/8

Winner at Newmarket in April. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (13/8) at Ascot (7f, firm) 38 days ago. That form has been franked and should be on the premises if taking to this surface.

Form: D2-1322

Flame of Freedom²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78| CD

18/1

Last Hoorah^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 80| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 11/2, third of 5 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good) 12 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would give him an each-way chance.

Form: 1-82543

El Bello^b1⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 79| D

9/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Newcastle in March. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 53 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise his game.

Form: 351167

OUT FROM UNDER failed to justify favouritism when second to Tarrabb at Ascot last month, but that form was franked when the winner recently followed up in a competitive contest at Haydock. With just seven runs under his belt, the Dubawi colt is not fully exposed and is appealing off the same mark here. Melody of Life was by no means disgraced at Doncaster last time and he is second choice ahead of Last Hoorah, who put in a good shift at Sandown 12 days ago.
