Thundering Breeze⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: G & J Moore| OR: 54

13/8

Wasn't disgraced after 7 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Kempton (7f) 40 days ago, left with lot to do. Should strip fitter for that and this is a weaker contest.

Form: 73687-6

So Chic³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 52| C

40/1

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 22/1, showed nothing after 12 weeks off when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago. Better anticipated back on all-weather but others look stronger.

Form: 8-45140

Vitalline^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 50| C

10/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, got off the mark for the season despite finding himself detached early in 9-runner minor event (3/1) at this course (7f, AW) 46 days ago, very slowly away. Fancied to close back in a handicap.

Form: 586341

Anticipating^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 49| D

14/1

Winner at Chepstow in June. 11/2, ran respectably without looking particularly suited by the step back up in trip when third of 8 in minor event at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago. Shortlisted returned to 1m.

Form: 9-84713

Al Shabab^t1²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 48

11/4

16/1, again ran poorly when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ian Williams. Is a long-standing maiden but a change of scenery could see him in a better light with a first-time tongue tie replacing the usual headgear.

Form: 5-52990

Taskheer^t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: D Steele| OR: 48| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 3/1, again below form when seventh of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 44 days ago, weakening quickly final 1f having raced freely.

22/1

Always behind after a slow start when last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 550350

Invincible Navy^v1⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Bradley| T: James Owen| OR: 45

15/2

Too free over 1f longer trip when twelfth of 13 in minor event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 80/1) 7 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Rachel Cook & John Bridger. Visor on 1st time. Not taken lightly having joined a yard adept with rejuvenating similar recruits.

Forecasts

Thundering Breeze (13/8), Al Shabab (11/4), Taskheer (5/1), Invincible Navy (15/2), Vitalline (10/1), Anticipating (14/1), Sir Patchy (16/1), Royal Jet (22/1), Formal Address (22/1), So Chic (40/1)

INVINCIBLE NAVY remains a long-standing maiden but having joined a yard with an excellent record with new recruits, he's put forward as the answer from a basement mark sporting a change of headgear. His main threat may emerge from Vitalline, who got off the mark for the season in a first-time tongue tie here recently, but his slow starts are concerning. Another stable-switcher Al Shabab rounds off the shortlist.
