Cranwell^h⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: L P Keniry| T: George Baker| OR: 51

25/1

Maiden after nine starts with his best effort coming when third at Brighton (good) over 1m4f last September. Beaten 74L when virtually pulled up at the same track last time and plenty to prove here.

Form: 6336-00

Flying Power¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: R Ffrench| T: J R Norton| OR: 49| D

20/1

Winner of eight of his 65 starts so far and a respectable effort when finishing fourth on seasonal debut at Thirsk (good-to-soft) over 1m4f earlier this month. Hasn't won for nearly three years however.

Form: 87070-4

(4)

Megalala¹¹

Age: 16| Weight: 9-7| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 47| C| D

14/1

Well into the veteran stage of his career and ran well when beaten 2L into fifth over 1m2f here on good-to-firm ground earlier this month. Has won here in the past but likely to find a few too good.

Form: 440-685

Coup De Vent⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T J Murphy| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45

50/1

Held in all three starts so far in 2017 including from well out of the handicap at Chepstow last time out. More needed if she's to take this.

Form: 368-776

(5)

The Secrets Out^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: L A Dace| OR: 53

9/4

Broke his maiden upped to this trip for the first time when winning on good-to-firm ground at Windsor last time out. Similar underfoot conditions are forecast here and he looks likely to run well again following a 4lb rise in the weights.

Form: 45-0061

(11)

Lord E²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52

16/1

Career best effort when finishing a close second over this C&D in a selling race at the start of the month. Yard out of form at present (0/25) and this looks a tougher affair.

Form: 57963

(9)

Affair²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 51| CD

14/1

C&D winner by a head in a selling contest at the start of the month. Previous form nothing to write home about including in handicap company but is of interest in this contest with her regular jockey on board once more.

Form: 9-65891

(10)

Let's Sway^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Lemos De Souza| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 49

10/1

Finished fourth twice including over 1m2f on the AW here prior to finishing 10L seventh over this distance at Windsor (good-to-firm) behind The Secrets Out. More needed if she's to take this.

Form: 78-0447

(8)

Crystal Secret¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 49

8/1

Maiden after 12 starts but one of her better efforts when finishing fourth behind The Secrets Out over this distance at Windsor (good-to-firm) last time out. More needed to reverse that form in this.

Form: 60-7794

(3)

Tojosimbre¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 48

7/2

Shaped as if this step up would suit when finishing 6L seventh of 15 over 1m2f at Brighton (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Represents a stable with a 25% strike-rate recently (7/28) and may surprise a few of his rivals in this.

Form: 6077

(7)

Lady Of York²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: A Bailey| OR: 46

5/1

Career best effort when finishing third of ten over 1m4f on the AW here earlier this month. Races off the same mark here and interesting to see if she can reproduce that on her return to turf today.

Form: 800-53

Forecasts

The Secrets Out (9/4), Tojosimbre (7/2), Lady Of York (5/1), Crystal Secret (8/1), Let's Sway (10/1), Affair (14/1), Megalala (14/1), Lord E (16/1), Flying Power (20/1), Cranwell (25/1), Ablaze (25/1), Coup De Vent (50/1)

TOJOSIMBRE shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when making his handicap debut at Brighton last time out. The selection was staying on in seventh on that occasion and can get the better of The Secrets Out who was a winner last time out with Affair, a winner in selling company here earlier this month taken to claim third.
