Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 11 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

Wallaroo^p,t⁴⁷

16/1

Fair maiden. Creditable fourth of 13 on 8.6f Wolverhampton reappearance in March. Presumably found race coming too soon when seventh of 10 there just 2 days later. Freshened up since. Makes polytrack debut. Each-way claims.

Form: 8/547-47

Sun Festival^p¹⁰

11/1

Forecasts

Chagall (11/8), No Such Luck (4/1), Come On John (7/1), Sarkha (8/1), Sun Festival (11/1), Wallaroo (16/1), Naasma (18/1), Gilbert (18/1), Doonbeg Farmer (33/1), Mofridge (40/1), Catch My Breath (50/1), Miss Malou (150/1)

CHAGALL has been better than the result on a few occasions since his 1m course win in March and can get his head back in front with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle now. No Such Luck was well held on his turf debut last time but had been in good nick on AW prior to that and is second choice ahead of Wallaroo.
