Beyond Borders²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

6/1

Successful 4 times during a very productive juvenile campaign and stepped up with each outing so far this spring, sound effort aided by a good position when fourth of 14 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good) 29 days ago, running on. Respected down in class.

Form: 111-924

Cool Dividend¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 82

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, excellent second of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Can go well again.

Form: 226-2

Tsunami Spirit²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy| OR: 82| D

9/1

Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good, 12/1) 29 days ago, weakening inside final 1f having done too much too soon. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 4126-20

Run Boy Run^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 79| D

4/1

Off 5 months/gelded, made hard work of justifying cramped odds when off the mark in a Newcastle maiden (6f) in March. Far from disgraced when midfield in big-field 6/7f handicaps at Newmarket both starts since and not discounted with cheekpieces enlisted for the first time.

Form: 202-177

The Good Biscuit¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 79| D

11/2

Dual 6f winner at 2yrs who was gelded following his final start and returned with a very good second of 6 in handicap at Leicester (6f) 10 days ago. That effort was backed up by the clock and he's worth considering off the same mark.

Form: 74115-2

Smart Vision^p1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 76

16/1

Seemingly had plenty in hand when making all on handicap bow at Newcastle (7.1f) in February but not matched that level on AW/turf since, held back by failure to settle. Well-run race back at 6f ought to see him in a better light.

Form: 543-190

Welcome Dream⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: K A Ryan| OR: 75| BF

9/1

Fairly useful form when placed on 3 of his 4 starts at 2yrs. Respectable third on return at Newcastle (7f) in February but looked a hard ride (refused to settle/hung badly right) when well beaten in 1m maiden here in April. Needs to get back on track switched to handicaps/returned to sprinting.

Form: 3623-35

Pearl Abbey⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 74| D

20/1

Soldier's Call filly who displayed promise only start at 2 yrs and better for reappearance when winning 6-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 82 days ago, keeping on well. Open to further improvement now handicapping back on turf.

Form: 5-51

Forecasts

Cool Dividend (2/1), Run Boy Run (4/1), Nariko (5/1), The Good Biscuit (11/2), Beyond Borders (6/1), Tsunami Spirit (9/1), Welcome Dream (9/1), Royal Zabeel (10/1), Solar Aclaim (12/1), Smart Vision (16/1), Pearl Abbey (20/1)

A dual winner as a 2-y-o, THE GOOD BISCUIT posted a career-best effort back from 10 months off (also gelded) when runner-up at Leicester 10 days ago and appealing as the type who could progress further, he shades the vote operating from the same mark. Nariko, a good winner over C&D 12 days ago, is feared along with Cool Dividend. Run Boy Run is another worth a second look equipped with first-time cheekpieces.
