Equality^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 102| CD

3/1

C&D winner. 40/1 and hooded for first time, 8¾ lengths eleventh of 13 to Dramatised in Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Poorly drawn on that occasion up in class and he's back in his grade here.

12/1

Eighteenth of 20 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to firm, 25/1) 9 days ago, on the retreat when hampered. This is slightly easier and assessor cutting him some slack.

Fernando Rah⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 94| D

Found only one too goo on reappearance in February. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 63 days ago, though he did a shade too much too soon. Back in trip returned to turf.

9/4

Produced a big career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 18 days ago, keeping on well. Shortlist material despite 7 lb rise.

Form: 02-1601

Night On Earth^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S D Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 84| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 16/1 and visored for first time, last of 14 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Cheekpieces back on and he's well weighted when he does find his form again.

Form: 66-0440

Forecasts

Swayze (9/4), Equality (3/1), Dream Composer (9/2), Democracy Dilemma (5/1), Isle Of Lismore (11/2), Bedford Flyer (6/1), Fernando Rah (15/2), Mountain Peak (12/1), Night On Earth (14/1), May Sonic (20/1)

SWAYZE turned a Haydock handicap into a one-sided affair 18 days ago, and with that performance backed up by a healthy timefigure, he may well be able to shrug off a 7 lb rise. This is a good-quality contest though, with Dream Composer and Bedford Flyer a couple of potential threats.
