Ribal^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 77

4/1

Fairly useful gelding. Tongue strap on for first time, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when respectable second of 5 in novice event at Newcastle (6f, 5/2) 8 days ago, just failing. Kept to 6f and just about the one to beat.

Form: 26237-2

Electric Avenue³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Baker

20/1

Little show first 2 starts but much more like it when fifth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (250/1) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test and keeping on well. More to come, particularly over 7f+.

Form: 4-65

Alhather²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

8/11

Matched debut form when third of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, 4/1) 25 days ago, having run of race. Likely to be in the mix.

Form: 2-3

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler

9/2

Eighth of 12 in novice event (33/1) at this C&D on debut. Off 137 days.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Hogan| T: P G Murphy

40/1

Sixth of 11 in novice event (150/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 53 days ago, never nearer. May well do better.

Form: 6-

See You Tonight^t⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

11/1

9/2 and hood/tongue strap on, fourth of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 87 days ago. Will improve with that under her belt.

Form: 4-

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: J Butler

Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f winner Incrimination. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to US Grade 1 9f winner Singhalese.

Forecasts

Alhather (8/11), Ribal (4/1), Arctic Dawn (9/2), See You Tonight (11/1), Electric Avenue (20/1), Take Care (40/1), Trevanion (50/1), Warrior Tune (80/1)

RIBAL coped pretty well with the marked drop to 6f when runner-up at Newcastle last week and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Alhather, a former stablemate of the selection, is feared most, though there's definitely a bigger performance in Electric Avenue.
