Moving Shadow²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 81| CD

8/15

Off the mark in C&D maiden on debut in September but proved too keen in red-hot Newmarket novice next time. Gelded and could yet do better this year.

Winston's Oath²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: James Owen

40/1

Well bred but hasn't set the world alight in bumpers/over hurdles for Dylan Cunha and is hard to fancy now switched to the Flat.

Form:

Siwa Oasis¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: C Hills| OR: 77| BF

9/4

Boasts some strong form and made a promising move into contention when fifth of 9 in 1¼m maiden at Newbury in May. Off 9 weeks after and bit disappointing here next time but back markedly in trip now and could yet come good.

Form: 2-754

Yordan

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

10/1

€45,000 foal, 160,000 gns yearling, Starman gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m/9f winner Comradery and 7f/1m winner Freebe Rocks. Makes belated debut in a winnable novice.

Forecasts

Moving Shadow (8/15), Siwa Oasis (9/4), Yordan (10/1), Winston's Oath (40/1)

SIWA OASIS boasts some good form and is worth another chance down markedly in trip despite an underwhelming effort here last time. Moving Shadow makes his reappearance back at the scene of his debut win, while newcomer Yordan might be in the mix if ready to go.
