33/1

Didn't make much impact in a trio of maidens over 1m, but after 3 months off (in first-time tongue strap) he failed to find any improvement when seventh of 9 on handicap debut at Kempton (1½m) 8 days ago. Blinkers now added.

Forever Perfect¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: R Menzies| OR: 59| CD

11/4

Has been going the right way upped to this distance, opening account in handicap over C&D last month. Progressed again when second under a penalty here 11 days ago and she's not taken lightly.

Form: 86-6312

Al Amirah²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: I Mohammed| OR: 58

25/1

Hinted at ability in her first 4 starts, but making handicap debut she looked a hard ride when tailed off at this course (9.5f) last month, hanging badly right 3f out.

Form: 68-569

Caraway³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 58

6/5

Bred for middle distances, but in first-time hood (now discarded) she was denied a clear run when fourth of 7 on handicap debut over this C&D last month. Now gets an 8 lb swing in the weights with Forever Perfect who finished third that day. Remains with potential.

Form: 77-64

Itsonlyrockandroll^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 57

4/1

Was prominent in the betting for handicap debut and showed more than previously when 4½ lengths third of 6 to Forever Perfect over this C&D 17 days ago, despite needing a stiffer test. Could yet do better with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 7553

Song Of The Stars^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonny Peate| T: J Ferguson| OR: 55

10/1

After 7 weeks off, found a bit of improvement on second handicap start when fifth of 11 over this C&D 11 days ago (Forever Perfect ahead in second). Further progress required with cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 50045

Kakirra⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 45

16/1

Has offered little in 3 starts in quick succession, again finishing well held when seventh of 8 in novice at Kempton (7f) in March. However, his yard are going well and the market could be informative as he goes up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 647

Forecasts

Caraway (6/5), Forever Perfect (11/4), Itsonlyrockandroll (4/1), Song Of The Stars (10/1), Kakirra (16/1), Al Amirah (25/1), Tonyfromhr (33/1)

CARAWAY couldn't get involved after meeting trouble on her handicap debut here last month, but she's bred to be suited by this trip so is well worth another chance for her leading yard. Forever Perfect has taken her form up a notch over this C&D on her last 3 starts and is respected, with Itsonlyrockandroll also considered.
