Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Faye McManoman| T: B Rothwell

300/1

Viking Raider gelding. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). Likely a longer-term project.

Air Of Approval⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: Micky Hammond

300/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Eighth of 9 in maiden (200/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Up against it.

Form: 58

Burglar⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| BF

5/2

Made plenty of appeal on pedigree and duly landed 9-runner novice at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut in February. Didn't progress as expected when third at Kempton (10f) last month but it's still early days and he remains with potential on turf bow.

Form: 13

Crystal Mariner²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| D

11/8

Promising type who confirmed debut promise when taking 10-runner maiden (10/11) at Newcastle (10.2f) 21 days ago. In good hands and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet.

Form: 31

Nine Six Five^b1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: G Boughey

17/2

Left debut effort behind when landing 9-runner maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 11/2) 27 days ago. Shapes as if this longer trip will suit and remains open to improvement. Blinkers on first time.

Form: 41

Cosmic Soul⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: James Horton

9/1

Fifth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 10/1) on debut 59 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5

Spectacular Style

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian

15/2

625,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Modus Operandi. Interesting newcomer.

Three Yorkshiremen^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78

13/2

Fairly useful gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 7 in minor event at Ripon (9.8f, heavy, 7/4) 31 days ago. Not out of things.

Forecasts

Crystal Mariner (11/8), Burglar (5/2), Three Yorkshiremen (13/2), Spectacular Style (15/2), Nine Six Five (17/2), Cosmic Soul (9/1), Sam Sarphati (80/1), Harittondreamboy (100/1), Air Of Approval (300/1), Vikinvalleycracker (300/1)

CRYSTAL MARINER sets the form standard on his Newcastle victory and likely has more to give yet. He can score again. Burglar and Nine Six Five head the list of dangers in what should prove an informative contest.
