10/3

Had 20 starts so far but running well recently and finished a fair fourth over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good-to-firm) last time out. Leading contender in first time blinkers here.

Form: 04-4424

Ancient Foe

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: A M Balding

7/2

Unraced Shamardal gelding and a half-brother to useful mares Sparkling Beam and Rainbow Springs amongst others. Interesting runner for a leading yard on debut.

Infamous Lawman⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: B Ellison

5/1

Finished well beaten when making his debut over 7f at Carlisle (good-to-firm) in May. Half-brother to winning sprinter Alpine Dream and probably best watched in this.

Form: 5

(7)

Mudallel¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 77

9/2

Finished runner-up on debut at Newmarket (good-to-firm) over 7f last September. Disappointing twice this year including over 6f at Windsor (good-to-firm) last month but interesting if returning to form.

Form: 2-54

Careyanne²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Neil Farley| T: B P J Baugh

50/1

Well beaten on sole start for previous yard in April and a similar result over 1m at Leicester (good-to-soft) on debut for this stable a month ago. Probably best watched today.

Form: 98

(6)

Flourishing¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: Sir Michael Stoute

7/2

Stepped up on her Newbury debut when finishing runner-up in a four runner maiden at Beverley (good-to-firm) last month. Represents a leading yard here and one for the shortlist in this.

Form: 72

(5)

Greenview Paradise¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

9/1

Running well in handicap company of late including when third off a mark of 65 over 7f in a five runner contest at Carlisle (good) last time out. Likely to run well again in this contest.

Form: 8-08223

(8)

Red Shanghai³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 42

100/1

Maiden after 15 starts and well beaten on each occasion. Beaten off handicap marks in the 40's in recent starts and likely to struggle today.

Form: 800840

Forecasts

Haraz (10/3), Flourishing (7/2), Ancient Foe (7/2), Mudallel (9/2), Infamous Lawman (5/1), Greenview Paradise (9/1), Careyanne (50/1), Red Shanghai (100/1)

FLOURISHING has had fewer opportunities than many of her rivals here and can follow up her good second last time out by claiming a first victory in this opening contest. The selection represents leading connections here and can get the better of the experienced Haraz who wears blinkers for the first time here while Mudallel is taken to claim third.
