Dubai Beach^h⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: K Shoemark| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 75| CD

4/11

A fitting of a hood and switch to handicaps has been the making of her, winning comfortably over C&D and at Chelmsford in recent weeks. Can't oppose under a 5 lb penalty.

Dashing Roger^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W Stone| OR: 77| D

100/1

Largely struggled in 2024. His mark has come down as a result but a watching brief is the percentage call on reappearance.

Form: 500577-

Encourager¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 75| C

33/1

Returned from an absence to win a small-field Lingfield AW claimer last month but ran as if amiss in a handicap at Chester (turf debut) since. Return to AW needs to help.

Form: 51/10

Port Road¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 73

8/1

Good 2 lengths third of 13 to Dubai Beach over C&D 14 days ago, keeping on well. Might be the one to given Saeed bin Suroor's charge most to do.

Form: 622583

Marbush⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 79| CD

14/1

C&D winner at 2. Hasn't beaten a rival in 2 handicap starts this season but that doesn't tell the whole story as he has met trouble both times.

Form: 6315-69

Stateira³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| BF

6/1

Won 7f Southwell novice on debut. Third over C&D next time. 15/8, tenth of 11 in novice at Goodwood (1¼m, good) 32 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back down in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 130

Notimeforchitchat^b1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 77| CD

11/1

Both wins here, latterly a 7f handicap on reappearance. Bombed out at Chelmsford on Good Friday but back on form when second there (1¼m) 20 days ago. Back down in trip with blinkers added.

Form: 150-102

Opera Score^t1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 75

40/1

Winner on debut at Wolverhampton in March but down the field twice since, including a handicap debut. A first-time tongue tie needs to help him get his career back on track.

Form: 178

Silver Arrow^p1¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 72

50/1

Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Chelmsford (7f ) in December. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers on reappearance.

Flagon Dry³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: W Greatrex| OR: 71| D

Threatening⁶

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: Sir Mark Prescott J: Dylan Hogan

Forecasts

Dubai Beach (4/11), The Outlaw (5/1), Stateira (6/1), Port Road (8/1), Notimeforchitchat (11/1), Threatening (12/1), Marbush (14/1), Flagon Dry (20/1), Encourager (33/1), Opera Score (40/1), Silver Arrow (50/1), Dashing Roger (100/1)

It's very hard to ignore the claims of DUBAI BEACH, who should complete a quick hat-trick. Port Road ran well behind the selection here last time and might provide the chief threat ahead of The Outlaw, who is bidding for a fourth win in his last 5 starts.
