Aramram¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 90| D

3/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/1, fifth of 10 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 8-15

Salvuccio^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 89

11/2

Fourth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. The addition of blinkers will need to help tease out some improvement if he's to take this.

Form: 11-6474

(3)

Queen's Guard¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell| OR: 87| D

5/2

Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 2/1) 13 days ago. Hit with a 7 lb rise but she may have enough in the locker to take that in her stride.

Form: 41-231

Beyond Borders¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: K R Burke| OR: 83| D

6/1

6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 11 days ago, slowly away. Now just 1 lb above the mark off which he landed a Newcastle nursery in November, so there is cause for optimism.

Form: 11-9246

(6)

Jimmy Speaking⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 82| D

10/3

Two wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Ascot in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (6f) 5 days ago. Headgear quickly dispensed with and will be a threat if able to bounce back.

Form: 663-119

(2)

Sky Warrior¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| D

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (7f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to up his game.

Forecasts

Queen's Guard (5/2), Aramram (3/1), Jimmy Speaking (10/3), Salvuccio (11/2), Beyond Borders (6/1), The Good Biscuit (7/1), Sky Warrior (16/1)

The manner of QUEEN'S GUARD's recent success at Lingfield suggested that this 7 lb higher mark may prove within her reach. She is taken to confirm that impression by going in again here, with Jimmy Speaking likely to emerge as the chief threat if able to put last week's low-key Kempton effort behind him. Beyond Borders and The Good Biscuit can do battle for minor honours.
