Barenboim^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78

5/2

Much-improved for new yard of late, doing well to make it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing 8-runner handicap (8/13) at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago. 6 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid in this groove.

Form: 4-37121

Crema Inglesa^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J A Osborne| OR: 77

16/1

Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Newbury (10f, heavy) 22 days ago, plugging on. Step back up in trip worth exploring now down in grade.

Form: 3P7654

(3)

Genesius¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 72| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 10 days ago. Should give another good account from what looks a handy mark.

Form: 324432

Obsidian Knight¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Spencer| T: T Kent| OR: 71| D

10/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who capitalised on easing mark when landing 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 4/1) 16 days ago by ½ length from Bugle Major, keeping on well. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt.

Form: 150091

Militry Decoration^t⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: C Poulton| OR: 71| CD

66/1

C&D winner. 16/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Epsom (12f, heavy) 65 days ago. Mark demands that little bit more returned to AW.

Bugle Major^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 71

25/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 9/1, 3½ lengths fifth of 8 to Barenboim in handicap at Chelmsford (10f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 277225

Nawar^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: S Curran| OR: 70| C

100/1

Course winner. First run since leaving Martin Bosley when last of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newbury (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. That was his first start for 16 months and this should reveal more.

Form: 46721-0

Sunstone¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 74

7/2

Bred to be smart and definite signs of encouragement in maiden/novice events, best effort yet when third over 10f at Chelmsford 16 days ago, keeping on. Will stay 1½m and better to come now handicapping.

Form: 973

(7)

At Liberty²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 72

6/1

Consistent sort who arrives having landed back-to-back handicaps at Leicester/Yarmouth (at 10f) in recent weeks. Career-high mark to defy now but hard to rule out another good showing in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 328211

(1)

Yarralumla^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 72

16/1

11/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 366334

(4)

Oblong Song^h1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 69

11/1

Creditable fifth of 9 in minor event at Nottingham (14f, heavy, 7/2) 17 days ago, weakening final 1f. Needs to step up dropped back in trip. Hood reached for.

Form: 72-6355

(8)

Clifftop Heaven²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: A Watson| OR: 56| C

22/1

Course winner. 50/1, respectable fourth of 17 in handicap at Newbury (12f, heavy) 21 days ago. May well find a few too good back on AW.

Form: 277004

Barenboim (5/2), Sunstone (7/2), Genesius (5/1), At Liberty (6/1), Obsidian Knight (10/1), Oblong Song (11/1), Crema Inglesa (16/1), Yarralumla (16/1), Clifftop Heaven (22/1), Bugle Major (25/1), Militry Decoration (66/1), Nawar (100/1)

BARENBOIM has improved plenty on the back of a breathing operation for his new yard of late, doing very well to make it 2 wins from 3 starts at Chelmsford 9 days ago. He looks sure to go well again from a 6 lb higher mark and earns the vote. The ultra-consistent, hat-trick seeker At Liberty, likely-improver Sunstone and Obsidian Knight head up the dangers, along with Genesius.
