Entrancement³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D Menuisier| OR: 84

7/4

Dual winner just edged out on first go at this trip at Goodwood last month under this rider, coming from a similar position as the winner, but after that one had made her move. Nudged up 3 lb but big player if in the same sort of form down in class.

Form: 2072-72

Wahraan^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 80

9/1

Temperamental sort (has virtually refused to race). Started better but still beat just one of his rivals home after making the running at Nottingham last time. Clearly very well treated but risky.

Form: 7/7-0305

13/2

C&D winner back in top form, gambled on and not beaten far at Nottingham 3 weeks ago. Respected back in trip.

Form: 241-034

11/1

Enhanced his good record on the Lingfield polytrack with a fourth win in 5 starts in handicap over this trip a fortnight ago. More will be needed to follow up back on turf.

Form: 195451

Marhaba Million^v1⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 81

13/2

Well-bred 3-y-o who is proving progressive, runner-up over this trip at Salisbury 7 weeks ago, drawing a long way clear with the standard-setter and not yet the finished article. Visor on for handicap debut and has more to offer.

Form: 932

Eben Zaabeel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 79

5/2

Shaping up nicely, not obtaining the best of runs upped to this trip in decent-looking 3-y-o Salisbury maiden a fortnight ago. forced to switch before keeping on well for fourth. Goes handicapping now and clearly has races in him.

Form: 0-544

Forecasts

Entrancement (7/4), Eben Zaabeel (5/2), Graham (13/2), Marhaba Million (13/2), Wahraan (9/1), Raintown (11/1), In From The Cold (25/1)

The 3-y-os EBEN ZAABEEL and Marhaba Million clearly have races in them now handicapping and could be the pair to focus on, with the first-named narrowly preferred following his unlucky run at Salisbury. Entrancement went close under Oisin Murphy at Goodwood and will be a big player once more if in the same sort of form.
