Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 2m 14.68s

(10)

Cloud Forest

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

11/2

Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Dream Whisper. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, closely related to very smart winner up to 1½m Old Persian. This is a belated debut but Oisin Murphy has been booked and he'd enter the reckoning if the betting signals are positive.

Liam Mera Kai⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: W Greatrex

40/1

Bumper winner and fair maiden hurdler. Pulled up on handicap debut when last seen in February. Probably best watched now switching to the Flat.

Semele²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S D Bowen| T: L Wadham

125/1

Made the frame once from 3 starts in bumpers. Better effort in Flat maidens this spring when 3 lengths fourth at Kempton (11f) in March. Likely vulnerable for win purposes again.

Form: 43

(5)

Shopaholic²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jack Jones

125/1

40/1, 8¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Knights Charge in maiden at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) on belated debut 21 days ago. She'll need to leave that well behind.

Form: 5

Bay Royale⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Harry Eustace| CD

5/6

Confirmed 1m course debut promise last autumn when winning a C&D novice (good to soft) 5 months later. Well on top at the finish so there should be more to come.

Form: 4-1

(9)

Knights Charge²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| D

2/1

Promising type. Third on debut last year. Returned to land shorts odds in 8-runner maiden at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) 21 days ago, soon clear. Useful prospect and taken to defy a penalty.

Form: 3-1

(2)

Barak Warrior⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonny Peate| T: J Keane

150/1

More one for handicaps after this based on his 2 runs this spring.

Form: 77

Cliff Danger²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs P Sly

80/1

40/1, held back by inexperience when sixth of 8 in novice at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip.

Form: 6

(11)

Outflank¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden

11/2

Promising Churchill gelding who has finished third in maidens at Kempton (11f) and Salisbury (1½m, good). Prominent showing likely for a top stable enjoying a fine spring.

Form: 3-3

(6)

Zurna

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J & S Birkett

200/1

Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 2m Siskany and 1½m winner Harpsichord. Changed hands for 23,000 gns in February. Likely best watched.

Forecasts

Bay Royale (5/6), Knights Charge (2/1), Domenico Contarini (5/1), Outflank (11/2), Cloud Forest (11/2), Liam Mera Kai (40/1), Cliff Danger (80/1), Shopaholic (125/1), Semele (125/1), Barak Warrior (150/1), Zurna (200/1)

KNIGHTS CHARGE looked good at Lingfield and might be up to defying a penalty now switching to turf. Outflank has performed to a fairly useful level on both starts and is feared most ahead of C&D winner Bay Royale. Oisin Murphy's mount Cloud Forest could have a say if the betting suggests he's fancied on debut.
