Goodwood Crusader⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 77| D

6/1

Maiden and handicap winner (dead-heat) at Bath over an extended 5f in April he attempts to complete a hat-trick here over 6f off a mark of 77 (6lb higher). Has built up a good rapport with this useful claimer who takes the ride again and should be competitive in this slightly lower grade.

Compton Poppy³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75

20/1

Very much left previous efforts behind when winning on her third maiden start at Chepstow (standout effort). Has failed to back up that run in two handicaps since and the mark looks a little too high based on that one effort.

Form: 7016-6

Tai Hang Dragon³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

4/1

Winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW earlier in the year she didn't manage to make a successful turf debut and complete the hat-trick last time at Leicester. Probably capable of better and may well have had a stiff task against an improving winner and may well be worth another chance.

Form: 0-43114

Peachey Carnehan^v⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 74| D

33/1

Dual AW winner at Wolverhampton but found life tougher back in a handicap on his penultimate run. Well held back on turf last time this mark looks a tough one.

Form: 133137

Otomo³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: P Hide| OR: 73| CD

10/11

Form showed a marked improvement last time when winning over C&D off a mark of 67 and travelled strongly making his handicap debut after six months off. Looked suited by being dropped in trip and going sprinting and will be a major threat here.

Form: 02242-1

Island Cloud^p1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: H Main| OR: 69

9/2

Still a maiden and bit below form in a handicap at Leicester last time. Cheekpieces go on now in a bid to find some improvement but has ground to make up with most of these.

Form: 8353-3

Forecasts

Otomo (10/11), Tai Hang Dragon (4/1), Island Cloud (9/2), Goodwood Crusader (6/1), In The Spotlight (12/1), Compton Poppy (20/1), Peachey Carnehan (33/1)

This probably revolves around the two who are likely to be at the head of the market in Goodwood Crusader and OTOMO with narrow preference for the latter who looked suited by sprinting last time handling this course well. Of the others Tai Hang Dragon could well be better than his last run suggests with In The Spotlight also of interest given her last two runs.
