Robbo⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 80| D

7/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (10/1) at Goodwood (8f, good) 61 days ago. Another well-run race kept to this trip would really suit in his quest to follow up.

Form: 756551

Mafnood^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: George Baker| OR: 80| D

10/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up slightly in trip and he can remain competitive.

Form: 6-37423

Golden Circet^t,v²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Joe Leavy| T: J & S Best| OR: 77

16/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year. Visored for first time and career best for latest of them in 10-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 17/2) 27 days ago, by short head from Oj Lifestyle, just holding on.

Al Rufaa⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 77

10/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 16 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft, 33/1) 42 days ago and balance of turf form means others are more persuasive.

Form: 287-030

Mostawaa^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 75| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on and no surprise were he to shrug that effort aside.

Form: 3-48330

(9)

Oj Lifestyle^b,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 73| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 11/4, last of 4 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago, held up in a tactical trip. Back down in trip with blinkers back on so likely to be ridden positively.

Form: 11-5524

Man Of La Mancha¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80| BF| D

15/8

Winner at Windsor in May and better than result all 3 starts since, 11/10 when good second of 7 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good) 12 days ago, conceding first run having been denied a clear run. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 631332

Enrolled^v⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 77| D

17/2

Visored for first time and produced a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 42 days ago, always holding on. Lot depends on whether the headgear works as well this time.

Form: 3-24471

Kracking^h,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 66| CD

14/1

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good) 22 days ago. Isn't an easy ride.

Form: 195435

Uncle Dick^v1³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 66| CD

20/1

Seven-time C&D winner. Last of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 7/2) 36 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Visor the headgear of choice this time in quest to win this race again.

Form: 076466

Jiff's Army^p,t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Doughty| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| D

8/1

6/4 and cheekpieces on for first time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, pushed out. Up 6 lb in a deeper race but is clearly going the right way.

Form: 307631

Havana Mojito²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 64| CD

18/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win here in May. 15/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Slightly out of his grade but he's likely to give it a good shot.

Form: 6-21182

Forecasts

Man Of La Mancha (15/8), Robbo (7/1), Jiff's Army (8/1), Enrolled (17/2), Al Rufaa (10/1), Mafnood (10/1), Mostawaa (11/1), Kracking (14/1), Oj Lifestyle (16/1), Golden Circet (16/1), Havana Mojito (18/1), Uncle Dick (20/1)

MAN OF LA MANCHA has been a hard-luck story in recent outings, shaping well again having encountering trouble at Sandown 12 days ago. He looks more than capable of winning from his current mark granted a bit more luck. Robbo returns to an ideal mile trip having won at Goodwood 61 days ago, while Enrolled is also a threat if the visor continues to have a positive effect.
