Wattani³³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes

14/1

9/2, won 10-runner novice at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) on debut 11 months ago. That form is pretty modest and while he's open to improvement, this looks tough under a penalty.

Form: 1-

Tsuki¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 78| BF| D

6/4

Twice-raced winner. Successful at Goodwood in May. 1/4, second of 5 in novice at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. That represented a step in the wrong direction, but she's in good hands and it would be no great surprise were she to get back on track here.

Form: 12

(5)

Alive Again

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer

40/1

Rajasinghe colt. Dam 12.4f winner. Not overly appealing on paper and probably best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Deira Storm²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Owen Burrows

9/2

Promising individual. Fifth of 13 in novice (11/4) at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Remains open to improvement and he should make his presence felt.

Form: 2-5

(8)

Maximising²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: K P De Foy

50/1

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f, 66/1) on debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 8

(9)

Abundance²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 82

13/8

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in novice (22/1) at Newbury (7f, firm) 26 days ago. Just about the one to beat on form and a bold show is anticipated.

Form: 4-33

(1)

Blea Tarn

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler

33/1

Cracksman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 5f winners Accrual and Seneca Chief. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run and it's likely that this one will do just that.

Fulford Cross¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock

22/1

Once-raced maiden. Second of 8 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 12/1) on debut in February. Shaped like a ready-made future winner that day and, with this stiffer track likely to aid his cause, he's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 2

(10)

I Can Imagine¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Joe Leavy| T: Jack Jones| OR: 70

33/1

Last of 11 in novice at Goodwood (9.9f, good, 50/1) 18 days ago. Down in trip and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 94527-0

Praise Indeed^t1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: T Ward

250/1

Once-raced maiden. Last of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 33/1) on debut 35 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Readily passed over.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Tsuki (6/4), Abundance (13/8), Deira Storm (9/2), Wattani (14/1), Fulford Cross (22/1), I Can Imagine (33/1), Blea Tarn (33/1), Alive Again (40/1), Maximising (50/1), Praise Indeed (250/1)

ABUNDANCE has shown plenty of ability on each of his three starts and while some of these perhaps possess greater long-term potential, Jonathan Portman's charge is taken to come out on top here. Of those with potential, Deira Storm and Fulford Cross rank highly, while it's too soon to write Tsuki off, for all that she was disappointing when turned over at very short odds at Haydock last month. Wattani was a winner of his sole 2-y-o start but now has much more on his plate under a penalty.
