Ciotog^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65

12/1

Blinkered for first time, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back up in trip and this represents a drop in grade.

Celebrating Ethel¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64

9/2

Failed to meet market expectations when fourth of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm, 9/4) 18 days ago, though wasn't seen to best effect given she was denied a clear run and finished with running left. This is easier so bold bid looks assured.

Prince Ali³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: C Brace| T: D Faulkner| OR: 60| D

33/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 35 days ago, given he was left poorly placed how the race unfolded. Rare turf start.

Inappropriate¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 67

13/8

Showed improved form when second of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Improving all the time recently and 2 lb rise still leaves him competitive taking on elders for the first time.

Form: 699-732

Acclaimer^v1³⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: H Palmer| OR: 57

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good). Off 12 months. Up in trip. Visor on first time and he has to return an improved performer to defy current mark.

Kinematica^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 65

25/1

Promising debut on the AW but disappointing since, last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 20 days ago. Hood on first time for in-form yard.

Form: 3656

Jolty Jem²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 62

13/2

Stuck to his task when fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 23 days ago. That was his first go over this far and he's likely to give it another good go.

Khangai^b,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M G Rimell| OR: 52| D

15/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, failing to last home. This trip more suitable.

Form: 27-7634

Zambezi Magic²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 47| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Did quite well to finish third of 6 in handicap (9/1) at this course (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago given how slowly away he was. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt if breaking close to on terms.

Forecasts

Inappropriate (13/8), Celebrating Ethel (9/2), Zambezi Magic (5/1), Lia Rose (11/2), Jolty Jem (13/2), Khangai (15/2), Ciotog (12/1), Kinematica (25/1), Acclaimer (28/1), Prince Ali (33/1)

It's easy to excuse CELEBRATING ETHEL's Doncaster effort given she was denied a run and the way she finished that race off suggests she's still in form. This is a slightly easier assignment so she looks the answer, with Inappropriate feared most taking on his elders for the first time. Zambezi Magic can ruin his chance at the stalls but is a threat if avoiding that trait this time.
