Paradias²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 90

3/1

20/1, creditable sixth of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good) when last seen in October, not clear run. Gelded since but will need to pull out more if he's to defy his present mark.

Form: D16236-

Spinaround²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 89

10/1

Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 9/1) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 470-725

Andaleep^t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 86| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Good third of 19 in handicap (40/1) at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark.

Form: 14016-3

Peace Man²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 86| CD

11/4

Thrice-raced winner. Won 8-runner C&D maiden (heavy, 14/1) 21 days ago. More needed now handicapping but he couldn't be in better hands to progress.

Form: 441

(3)

Ace Rothstein²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Greg Cheyne| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 83| D

12/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Newmarket (12f, soft) 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Martin Smith and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 94796-8

(6)

Silver Gunn²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 82| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 22/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f), not ideally placed. Returns to action off a reduced mark and possibilities if fully tuned-up.

Form: 143986-

(7)

Melek Alreeh^t1⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80

7/1

Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 15/2) 88 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 315-45

Forecasts

Peace Man (11/4), Paradias (3/1), Silver Gunn (5/1), Andaleep (5/1), Melek Alreeh (7/1), Spinaround (10/1), Ace Rothstein (12/1)

MELEK ALREEH failed to build on his reappearance effort when tried on tapeta for the first time at Newcastle in March but he's been eased 3 lb since and is of strong interest returned to turf with conditions in his favour. Indeed, his Doncaster success last summer was gained on fast ground and the booking of Tom Marquand adds to his appeal. Andaleep put in a good shift when third on return at Newbury and is feared most ahead of handicap-debutant Peace Man and Silver Gunn.
