9/2

Arrives on the back of some creditable efforts and he won this race off 1 lb higher 12 months ago. Likely to go well.

17/2

Straightforward type who showed a good attitude to resume winning ways at Bath (1¾m, good to firm) in May. Good second of 4 at Nottingham (1¾m, good to firm again) 14 days ago, just failing.

Form: 17-4142

La Peregrina²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 67

4/5

First past the post (demoted to second after causing interference) in handicap at Goodwood (1½m, good to firm) 20 days ago, proving well suited by the step up in trip. A repeat of that improved performance would make him the one to beat here.

Form: 6-5502

Aukus^v1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 67

18/1

Possibly not straightforward and well behind the reopposing La Peregrina on her recent Goodwood handicap debut. Blinkers off, first-time visor on.

Kakirra³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 61

4/1

Much improved since sent handicapping, completing a hat-trick when just holding on at Wolverhampton (1½m) 37 days ago. A further 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid.

Forecasts

La Peregrina (4/5), Kakirra (4/1), Lusaka (9/2), Barrister (13/2), Two Plus Two (17/2), Aukus (18/1)

LA PEREGRINA lost the race in the stewards room at Goodwood last month but it was an improved effort tackling 1½m for the first time and he should relish the even longer distance this evening. Kakirra is bidding to make it 4-4 in handicaps and is feared most ahead of last year's winner Lusaka.
