Dream Eater gelding. Dam, 9f-1½m winner, also won over hurdles. Probably best watched on belated debut.

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 14/1, seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy.

5/2

Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 3-runner minor event (11/2) at Doncaster (11.9f, firm) 35 days ago, keeping on well. Probably capable of better still.

Lady Excalibur³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: A E Jones

7/1

Once-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 20/1, third of 7 in a C&D maiden (soft) on debut in this sphere 31 days ago. Place possibilities.

9/1

Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 21 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

6/5

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/4, second of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 27 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better here.

Seren Y Teigr

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams

125/1

Dylan Thomas gelding. Closely related to 10.7f winner Romann. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to Australian Group 1 1½m winner Dariana. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Kempton (12f, 18/1) 50 days ago. Readily passed over.

4/1

Once-raced maiden. Third of 9 in minor event (4/1) at Kempton (12f) on debut 50 days ago. Excellent pedigree and improvement should be forthcoming.

Forecasts

Jahoori (6/5), Melek Alreeh (5/2), Allemande (4/1), Lady Excalibur (7/1), Alhabor (9/1), Zealotalot (100/1), Noahthirtytwored (125/1), Seren Y Teigr (125/1), Midnight Shimmer (150/1), Magical Mist (250/1)

JAHOORI was made to look rather one-paced when beaten seven lengths by Haskoy at Wolverhampton, but that was no disgrace in light of the winner's subsequent York listed success. It's highly unlikely that Roger Varian's charge faces anything of that calibre here and he is taken to open his account. Melek Alreeh built on his debut promise when scoring at Doncaster and is next on the list ahead of Allemande and Lady Excalibur.
