Major Rowan⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Makin| T: J J Davies| OR: 59| D

4/1

Scored over this trip a couple of years ago at Southwell, though recent form in this grade has been no better than respectable and no obvious reason why he will come good again from the same mark as when comfortably held at Redcar on his last two starts.

11/4

Ran well to be 1½L third in a similar contest (1m6f, good to firm) at Yarmouth last time. Already a three-time winner over the trip and handles any ground, so likely to be very competitive again today.

Yul Finegold⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: C R Dore| OR: 57

12/1

13lb lower here than his most recent win, which came in a Chepstow handicap (1m4f, good to soft) in the spring of last year. Slightly better effort last time, but his form over staying trips leaves plenty to be desired.

Form: 7-69665

Dream Serenade^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| BF

4/1

Has proven stamina beyond this trip with a 2m½f Wolverhampton win to her name and was beaten just ¾L over 1m6f at Yarmouth last time from 1lb lower. Won't mind any ease in the ground, but also acts on sound/fast surfaces, so she has a fair bit going for her.

Adherence⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 55

7/1

A maiden after 18 starts and recent efforts have to inspire. However, he was runner-up beaten just a neck over C&D (good to firm) in May last year from 1lb higher and a better effort is not ruled out. Market check advised.

Aneedh^p¹⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: C A Mulhall| OR: 54

12/1

The last of his three wins came in a 1m4f Beverley seller in 2014, but he does get this trip, over which he has previous placed form from significantly higher marks. Goes on most ground and is more interesting now stepped back up this distance, but still plenty to prove.

Stickleback^p⁵⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 54| C

33/1

Placed five times from 13 starts on the Flat, where she remains a maiden. Stays 3m on soft ground over hurdles, so any rain will be a plus and this trip will hold no fears. Not raced since November 2015, however, so is entitled to need this return run.

Aristocracy²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 52

5/1

Wasn't beaten far over 2m (good to soft) at Chepstow last time on his first start for this trainer. That was an improvement on previous efforts over staying trips and from 1lb lower he could be more closely involved this time.

Forecasts

With Hindsight (11/4), Major Rowan (4/1), Dream Serenade (4/1), Aristocracy (5/1), Hallingham (6/1), Adherence (7/1), Saint Thomas (8/1), Aneedh (12/1), Yul Finegold (12/1), Chauvelin (25/1), Stickleback (33/1)

Aneedh is interesting now back over this far and a big run could be on the cards, while Adherence could run into the money, but clearly winning with him is difficult. DREAM SERENADE stays further than this and comes here in form having been just held from 1lb lower at Yarmouth last time and she is the suggestion, while Aristocracy is also considered.
