Zayina^p1³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 82

5/2

Lightly-raced filly who produced a rare below-par display when fourth of 5 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm, 9/2) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for stepping back up in trip and she's the type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 3/333-54

Rockit Tommy³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Dace⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 80| D

10/1

4-time winner for Sir Mark Todd but he's folded tamely on each of his 2 starts since returning for new yard, last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 39 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 3121-08

Big Bear Hug^p²¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Joe Leavy| T: J R Boyle| OR: 80

5/2

Back on the scoresheet at Epsom (10f) last July and plenty of creditable efforts thereafter, ending last term with a good third of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in November. Returns from 7 months off for new yard and fact she's gone well fresh previously a plus here.

Isle Of Sark^p1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75

15/2

One win from 28 Flat runs. 12/1, second of 4 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 4246-62

Marhaba Million²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 74

33/1

Progressive form in maidens for Owen Burrows last spring but he ran poorly after 11 months off/gelded starting out for new yard when eighth of 12 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good) 28 days ago. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 9326-8

Destinado^v⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Mason Paetel⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 73| D

4/1

Latest win at Doncaster in March. 28/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good) 9 days ago, faring best of those held up. Visor back on. Not out of things.

Forecasts

Big Bear Hug (5/2), Zayina (5/2), Destinado (4/1), Isle Of Sark (15/2), King's Reign (8/1), Rockit Tommy (10/1), Marhaba Million (33/1)

ZAYINA produced a rare below-par display over shorter at Brighton 38 days ago yet, her overall record suggests she's not one to stay down for long, and with the step back up in trip expected to suit, she's fancied to bounce back and make a bold bid from what looks a workable mark. Destinado, who was better than he could show at Hamilton, rates next best, ahead of Big Bear Hug and King's Reign in the finale.
