Ermin Street⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| C

50/1

Course winner who was been operating below best in trio of starts for new yard on AW late last year. Assessor has given him a chance back from a short break if longer trip has positive effect here.

Form: D43707-

Ready To Shine²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 71

8/1

Steady progress in trio of novice/maiden events at upto 12f for Simon & Ed Crisford and promise to glean from yard/handicap debut second over 12f here 3 weeks ago, not clear run 2f out and keeping on well final 1f. May build on that for in-form yard.

Form: 9/44-2

Johnny Boom^p⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: S Lycett| OR: 65

16/5

Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 6 days ago, pushed out. Carries penalty. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 51-1621

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J F Egan| T: D Pipe| OR: 70| D

33/1

Off the mark in seller at Goodwood (11.2f) in August. Bagged juvenile hurdle on second start for new yard at Ludlow in November but not in same form over timber/on Flat either outing since.

Form: 34671-7

Bay Of Naples⁵⁷

18/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this course (8.1f) 57 days ago, possibly finding the race coming too soon following a lengthy absence. Undergone another wind op ahead of this and others more persuasive.

Form: 2700/78-

Roscioli¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A M Balding| OR: 69

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (12f) 16 days ago, no extra late on. Should give another good account from career-low mark.

Form: 6705-35

Arab Cinder¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: M Appleby| OR: 69

16/1

Winner at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in October. 7/2, first run since leaving William Knight when seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago. That was her first start for 4 months and she may sharpen up for that here.

Form: 47162-7

Down To The Kid¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 67| C

9/1

Course winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.1f) in August, weakening over 1f out. Absent again since.

Form: 0/11298-

Sid's Annie¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: M D I Usher| OR: 66| C

12/1

Quirky sort. Course winner. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago, not quicken only late on. However, both career victories have been gained at 1m to date.

Form: 650-043

Dubai Jeanius¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 63| CD

11/5

Improved for increase in trip of late, off the mark over C&D prior to following up over 12f back here 17 days ago, coming clear with runner-up and on top final 100 yds. 3 lb rise looks fair and sound claims in hat-trick bid.

Form: 4247-11

Rick Blaine^t⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S Lycett| OR: 57

40/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (16.5f, 8/1) 64 days ago, reminders over 5f out and merely plugging on. Down in trip now.

Forecasts

Dubai Jeanius (11/5), Johnny Boom (16/5), Roscioli (5/1), Ready To Shine (8/1), Down To The Kid (9/1), Kentucky Kingdom (10/1), Sid's Annie (12/1), Sun Festival (12/1), Arab Cinder (16/1), Bay Of Naples (18/1), Borntobealeader (33/1), Rick Blaine (40/1), Ermin Street (50/1)

DUBAI JEANIUS has proved a different proposition stepped up in trip, successful over C&D prior to coming clear with the runner-up when following up over 12f back here 17 days ago. He remains of interest from his revised mark and can complete the hat-trick, with Johnny Boom, who is similarly in top form rating the chief threat. Ready To Shine and Roscioli may do best of the remainder.
