Damascus Finish²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 57

14/1

Belatedly off the mark at Wolverhampton in March. Has held his form well since, third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 13/2) 26 days ago. Respected as he goes back up in distance.

Form: 37-1333

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56

14/1

3 wins from 8 runs this year, with his latest success at Bath in April. However, not in the same form when seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, heavy, 11/2) 44 days ago. Bounce back called for.

Special Times¹²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 55

11/2

14/1, only sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m) when last seen in January. Back up in trip on her first run for yard after leaving Clive Cox. Others make more appeal after 4 months off.

Crazy Spin^t,v³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 49

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in April, but failed to repeat that effort when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 30 days ago. Capable if on a going day as she makes a rare start on turf.

The Lion Strikes²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45

33/1

Has offered little in a pair of starts this year for his current yard, last of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 6/1) 26 days ago. Major revival needed.

Angel Of Peace²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 57

9/2

Improved again, despite still looking green, when third of 9 on handicap debut at Redcar (1m, good to soft, 10/1) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Major player with step up in trip to suit.

Form: 90-63

Rhea Of The Year²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Eddery| OR: 52

50/1

Well held sent handicapping this year, last of 10 at Southwell (7.1f, 66/1) 21 days ago. Step up in distance not enough to tempt.

Form: 868-60

Dame Sarra^v1⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 50

18/1

Seraphia^v1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: M L W Bell| OR: 46

16/1

Possibly needed run after 6 months off when seventh of 10 on handicap debut (16/1) at Wetherby (1m, good to soft) 29 days ago. Much more required as she goes up in trip with visor on for 1st time.

Form: 080-7

(8)

Gallimimus¹⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: G Boughey| OR: 45

11/8

Didn't offer much in a trio of outings late last year, last of 11 in minor event at Kempton (1m, 125/1) in December. However, could fare better now up in trip on handicap debut (has been gelded).

Form: 900-

Forecasts

Gallimimus (11/8), Angel Of Peace (9/2), Special Times (11/2), Angel De Luz (9/1), Crazy Spin (14/1), Moon Over The Sea (14/1), Damascus Finish (14/1), Seraphia (16/1), Dame Sarra (18/1), Pure Bubbles (25/1), The Lion Strikes (33/1), Rhea Of The Year (50/1)

Despite still having something to learn, ANGEL OF PEACE improved again when third on her handicap debut at Redcar earlier this month as she pulled clear of the rest of the field. With stamina in her pedigree, the 3-y-o is taken to open her account as she goes up in trip. Damascus Finish could be the main danger, ahead of Angel de Luz.
