Malt Teaser²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 62

7/2

Has been tried over a variety of distances, running arguably his best race over 7f on this track in February when beaten 2L behind Mia Cara, doing his best work in the closing stages. Could go close here if running up to that form.

Form: 08-4587

Bizet^b1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: J Ryan| OR: 62

5/1

Placed just the once so far in 10 career starts, beaten a head by Marzoug over 6f at Chelmsford City last September. Gelded prior to his seasonal bow, he has failed to shine in two recent outings over this trip and faces a stiff task here.

Form: 0964-40

Take A Turn¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Queally| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 62

6/1

Finished last in a 7f Newmarket maiden on his debut but has shaped with plenty of promise in a couple of outings since on the AW at Kempton and remains open to any amount of improvement. Not without a chance here.

Form: 967-

Chunkyfunkymonkey^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Louis Steward| T: J Ryan| OR: 59

12/1

Nothing special in his first two outings over 7f and faced a daunting task when stepped up to a mile at Yarmouth last time out in a race won by Hakeem. Will need a significant improvement to land the prize tonight.

Form: 670

Power Home⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Patrick Pilley⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 59

8/1

Stable has had a couple of winners recently and this filly has shaped well in a couple of her outings without ever looking like opening her account. This is her first attempt at this trip and she is likely to run a big race.

Form: 4548-5

(6)

Mr Mac^h⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: P Hedger| OR: 57

3/1

Sent off at odds of 200/1 for his debut run at Salisbury over 7f last September and was soundly beaten. Showed his best form to date over 1m at Kempton in April on his most recent start and a similar effort here will take him close.

Form: 069-83

(12)

Broughtons Admiral²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T J Murphy| T: H Spiller| OR: 57

25/1

Trained by Willie Musson when making his debut in a decent 7f Kempton maiden last September and ran a promising first race. Has been in rear in his two subsequent runs and needs to improve to land this prize.

Form: 700-

(7)

Swallow Dancer^t1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S Hitchcott| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 53

25/1

Filly failed to run as a two-year-old and has found it tough going in her four outings to date. Was stepped up to 1m4f at Doncaster last time and was not unfancied on her handicap debut but she faded badly late on. Shorter trip should suit.

Form: 7569

(14)

Let's Sway^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lemos De Souza| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 53

20/1

Slowly away and never a factor on her debut over 7f at Kempton last August, she ran her best race since in a race over this trip at Brighton last time and could run into the frame here on her AW return.

Form: 78-04

(11)

Madam Prancealot¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 51

14/1

She was busy as a juvenile, showing great tenacity to win back-to-back races at Lingfield and Chepstow over 7f and a mile respectively. Has taken time to come to hand this term but was a decent second in a Salisbury claimer last time and could go close here.

Form: 4-96542

(8)

Royal Sentiment⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: M D I Usher| OR: 51

33/1

Nothing special seen in his five outings to date and is with his third trainer. Was a long way behind Let's Sway at Brighton recently and was last of 11 at Salisbury in a 1m4f handicap last time. Has plenty to find.

Form: 050-00

(9)

Deleyll^b³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Adam Beschizza| T: J Butler| OR: 50

12/1

Shaped well in his early races and was fancied for a 7f Kempton nursery in October and went down by a head to A Sure Welcome. He left the William Haggas yard after that run and has yet to really repeat that form for his current yard.

Form: 720-007

Forecasts

Mr Mac (3/1), Malt Teaser (7/2), Bizet (5/1), Take A Turn (6/1), Power Home (8/1), Epicurious (10/1), Deleyll (12/1), Chunkyfunkymonkey (12/1), Madam Prancealot (14/1), Let's Sway (20/1), Dragonite (20/1), Swallow Dancer (25/1), Broughtons Admiral (25/1), Royal Sentiment (33/1)

Malt Teaser run arguably his best race over 7f on this track back in February and a repeat of that effort should take him close in this company. Madame Prancealot will have her supporters following a decent effort at Salisbury last time and has winning form on the track, while Let's Sway has a good chance if running up to the form showed at Brighton last time. POWER HOME represents a stable running into a bit of form and with the trip likely to suit, she can open her account at the sixth time of asking.
