40/1

Eight wins from 30 Flat runs but only seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 62 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Cruyff Turn^h¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Now below last winning mark though so can't be discounted.

Form: 9008-08

First Officer²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 80| C

4/1

Latest win at Windsor in April. Solid fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 10/3) 22 days ago. This course scorer is well in the mix.

Form: 5912-14

Great Blasket^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 80| D

9/4

Thriving of late and completed a hat-tyrick in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 15 days ago. Up another 3 lb but still looks the one to beat.

Form: 352111

Forecasts

Great Blasket (9/4), First Officer (4/1), Cruyff Turn (7/1), Brunch (7/1), Aerion Power (8/1), Farhh To Shy (17/2), Dawn Of Liberation (14/1), All The King's Men (16/1), Excel Power (40/1)

GREAT BLASKET is on a roll and a 3 lb rise for his latest victory at Newmarket doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from extending his successful spree to four. First Officer has winning form here and could emerge as the main danger, with Farhh To Shy and Cruyff Turn appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
