(1)

Acclaimer⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 60

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 16/5, sixth of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 44 days ago, slowly away. May do better now sent handicapping and is worth monitoring in market.

Wamalama^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 60

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 487-7

(4)

Ticket To Alaska²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 57| BF

10/3

Disappointed at Chepstow latest but had come close at Doncaster (8f) off this mark previously and must enter calculations.

Form: 34-2324

(6)

Harry The Haggler^t³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S C Williams| OR: 55| BF

1/1

Posted career best when close second of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds strong claims.

Form: 492522

Astronomica⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 53| D

11/2

Had a bit in hand when making winning return/handicap debut at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 52 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Likely to face different conditions here but remains fairly treated.

Form: 0480-1

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 16/1) 25 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 6895

Forecasts

Harry The Haggler (1/1), Ticket To Alaska (10/3), Astronomica (11/2), Acclaimer (8/1), Haaf A Diamond (11/1), Daisy Roots (14/1), Wamalama (33/1)

HARRY THE HAGGLER pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Chepstow on Monday and looks the one to beat. Astronomica and Ticket To Alaska look the likeliest dangers.
