Vatican Hill³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lucy K Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 78

9/2

Goes in search of a hat-trick after improving markedly from selling win to prevail in a Lingfield handicap last time. Set some good fractions there but handicapper certainly hasn't missed him and an 8 lb rise makes life tougher.

Form: 11-1508

Sans Souci Bay⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tina M Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

7/1

Stepped up on his first three starts to score at Chelmsford in October. Followed that up with a smart second at Lingfield but they both came in big field affairs and he gives the impression he thrives off the kind of racing that brings. Unplaced on last two starts in small fields and needs to learn to settle better before he can be expected to get his head in front in this kind of affair.

Form: 4-67241

Tailor's Row¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77

3/1

Not won since debut but came close to getting his head back in front last time at Lingfield, finishing with good effect and just failed to hold on. Capable off this sort of mark but may face competition for the lead.

Form: 2-22624

Alkashaaf^p,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A Watson| OR: 77

7/4

Best effort to date came at Chelmsford when winning over 6f. Disappointed last time but still very early days and likely to have scope from this mark. He's bred for synthetic surfaces so every chance he can record his second win today.

Atteq²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

7/1

Disappointing on handicap debut last time and appeared to go too quick up front with a couple of others. Looked promising on two starts prior to that and should be in the shake up once again here.

Form: 2-44331

Ladofash¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: K R Burke| OR: 67

22/1

Unplaced on all five starts to date and tailed off last time so comes here with it all to prove now.

ALKASHAAF won his maiden impressively at Chelmsford two starts back and after a slightly disappointing effort last time, tracking a pace that was too strong, he has every chance a getting back on the scoresheet here. Atteq was another he paid the price for going too early in that same race last time and he looked promising on two of his three prior starts. Tailor's Row is dangerous to rule out and may be able to dominate from the front. 1. Alkashaaf 2. Atteq 3. Tailor's Row
