Criminal Shore²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78

22/1

Left his qualifying form well behind when winning 8-runner handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm). Progressed again in defeat when runner-up over the same trip at Goodwood bit disappointed when too free at Haydock (8.2f) 20 days ago. Chance but will need to settle over this longer trip.

Form: 44-9128

Yabher⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 77

5/1

Sea The Stars colt looked potentially useful when a debut winner at Doncaster (1m) in September but hasn't gone on from that run, albeit he probably found the race coming too soon (just 9 days after his reappearance) when well held at Haydock 55 days ago. Worth another chance following a break.

Form: 15-89

Happy Banner³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: E Walker| OR: 77

9/4

Progressed to get off the mark at third attempt in a Kempton novice (7f) in December but hasn't improved in two starts back on turf this season, not disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newbury (8f, firm) 34 days ago. Not ruled out if longer trip can eke out some improvement.

Form: 731-65

Fantasmic³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Jack Jones| OR: 77

10/1

Third in a couple of 1m maidens prior to showing improved form for the longer trip when winning 7-runner maiden at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Could improve again now handicapping.

Form: 331

Hot Dancer¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| D

7/4

Justified support on first run over 10f when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City 15 days ago, had a bit in hand at the finish. Solid claims if she's in similar form back on turf.

Form: 23-5341

Motawaared^t1⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 74

18/1

Stepped up on debut effort when second at Southwell in March but hasn't progressed as expected, beaten by more than the longer trip when last of 7 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good to soft, 10/1) 43 days ago. Back in trip and will need to improve with tongue strap on for the first time.

Form: 4237

Chesneys Charm²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 74

22/1

A three-time 7f winner at 2yrs but looks more exposed as a 3-y-o. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (66/1) at York (10.2f, firm) 20 days ago but could be vulnerable to progressive types again.

Form: 2-62685

(4)

Paratrooper^v1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 71

12/1

Promising debut but didn't kick on in two subsequent maiden starts. Would have benefitted from a stronger gallop on handicap debut when sixth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 34 days ago. In excellent hands and could have more of an impact if first-time visor does the trick.

Form: 2486

Forecasts

Hot Dancer (7/4), Happy Banner (9/4), Yabher (5/1), Fantasmic (10/1), Paratrooper (12/1), Motawaared (18/1), Criminal Shore (22/1), Chesneys Charm (22/1)

Plenty in with a chance and it could pay to side with YABHER who hasn't gone on from his promising debut success over 1m but may get back on track over this longer trip following a break, with the Haggas string in fine fettle. Hot Dancer could prove the main threat if in the same form as when winning on the all-weather earlier this month, while last time out winner Fantasmic could be open to further improvement on handicap debut.
