Edvard Grieg¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Kyle Strydom| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 48

6/1

Hit the frame over 1m at this track in April but has ran poorly in two outings since, latest in first time tongue strap (now removed). Plenty to prove over this longer trip.

Foinix^b⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 47| CD

9/2

Strong in the betting when running below form here penultimate start. Not seen to best effect when twelfth of 13 in classified stakes at Lingfield (12f, AW) 6 days ago, not clear run home turn and not recover. Remains to be seen if he can bounce back to form.

Form: 447350

Fullforward^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: M Madgwick| OR: 49| CD

7/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Again below form when tenth of 13 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW, 6/1) 6 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor back on and that needs to spark a revival.

Form: 3-63880

Good Eye^b1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 50

33/1

Offered little in qualifying runs and has fared no better in handicaps, latest when tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 19 days ago. First effort over this trip on turf and could be competitive if first time blinkers have the desired impact.

Form: 38900

Irezumi^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 49| C

1/1

Course winner. One win from 29 Flat runs. Reluctant to load prior to finishing creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 32 days ago, having been very slowly away. Clearly capable from this sort of mark but comes with risks attached.

Form: 383-823

Mond^h¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: C Wallis| OR: 49

40/1

Useful 10f form for Andre Fabre in 2021 but has been operating way below that level since resuming his career in Britain in November 2024. May have needed run on first turf outing for current connections when last over 6f here 10 days ago. Remains to be seen if he fares better markedly up in trip.

Skimming Along^h1⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D Steele| OR: 50

16/1

Looked a difficult ride when 400/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (8f) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip with hood on first time but has plenty to find on handicap debut.

Form: 860

Star Of Jupiter^e/s1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 48

10/1

Sprung 50/1 shock in first time headgear in February. Below form since then but one to keep an eye on in the betting sporting new headgear (first time eyeshields) with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle.

Form: 718089

Forecasts

Irezumi (1/1), Fascinating Lips (11/4), Foinix (9/2), Edvard Grieg (6/1), Fullforward (7/1), Star Of Jupiter (10/1), James Park Woods (10/1), Skimming Along (16/1), Good Eye (33/1), Mond (40/1)

A very winnable race and it could be worth taking a chance on FASCINATING LIPS who has ran creditably here previously (when well backed) and returns from a break on a career low mark. He's likely to be well positioned in a race without much pace on paper and can get the better of Irezumi, who isn't straightforward but arrives on the back of a respectable third here last month. Mond has shown little to date in Britain but now steps up markedly in trip, having shown useful form over 10f in France.
