3/1

3-y-o who has yet to taste success but proving consistent for present connections, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Booking of Shepherd a plus. Should go well again.

Hibernate¹²

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden who produced best effort to date with front-running tactics employed when second of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 12 days ago, tackled from 2f out and headed final strides. Big player again with a repeat.

Makes Me Wonder¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 57| BF

4/1

Winner at Yarmouth in April. 2/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Unexposed at this longer trip and another arriving with sound claims.

Electric Bass²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R A Teal| OR: 55

5/2

Cable Bay gelding who proved his effectiveness on turf at second attempt when second of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Ffos Las (10f, soft) 25 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy very much catches the eye and another meriting consideration.

Cushty¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55

10/1

Hasn't looked the most straightforward but back on track of late, not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Mark has eased a little more ahead of this.

Forecasts

Electric Bass (5/2), Hibernate (11/4), Calibos (3/1), Makes Me Wonder (4/1), Cushty (10/1)

ELECTRIC BASS quickly dispelled a lesser effort when runner-up over this trip at Ffos Las 10 days ago and, with the booking of Oisin Murphy very much catching the eye, he shades the vote to go one place better. Hibernate and Makes Me Wonder rate next best in a field of in-form sorts.
