Hi Clare¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 73| D

9/2

Won on AW on final 2-y-o start. Built on good Hamilton reappearance run when resuming winning ways at Pontefract (1m) 16 days ago. Only nudged up 1 lb. Likely to be in the thick of things.

Form: 2281-31

Palamon⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, soft, 15/2) 71 days ago. Makes handicap debut having been gelded. Unexposed and needs a betting check.

Adwan³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months, might have needed the outing when seventh of 13 on 1m Windsor handicap debut 30 days ago. Remains unexposed but Pat Dobbs on Palamon this time.

Form: 64-37

War Chant¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: Rae Guest| OR: 68| D

9/4

Arrives in search of a hat-trick after 1m wins at Nottingham and Wetherby this month. 4 lb rise for last time is offset by his talented apprentice's claim. Bold bid on the cards.

Form: 1-52511

Forecasts

War Chant (9/4), Hi Clare (9/2), Natzor (9/2), Havana Goldrush (11/2), Palamon (8/1), Jade Country (12/1), Adwan (12/1), Ciotog (18/1)

WAR CHANT can complete a quick hat-trick with Connor Planas taking a handy 5 lb off. Recent Hamilton winner Hi Clare may give him most to do ahead of Natzor in a race in which the 3-y-os may dominate.
