Bahamian Sunrise^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 79| C

5/1

A previous courser winner he may well have taken a step forward last time out when winning at Sandown under a very positive ride. Acts on this course and although he's never won off a mark this high should go well again.

Form: 14-2671

Buxted Dream¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: L M Cumani| OR: 79| D

5/6

Four runner-up slots in a row started to put in place question marks about this one but given the run of the race last time he broke that frustrating sequence. May face a battle for the lead here as he goes handicapping for the first time.

Zamjar^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 79| D

5/1

A winner in a 0-90 at Chester in May his form since has lacked any consistency or progress. Didn't look at all suited by this track last time out and quite surprising to see him returned here given that performance.

Otomo^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: P Hide| OR: 71| CD

4/1

The second contender from this stable he got off the mark here over C&D on his handicap debut off a 4lb lower mark. Hasn't quite been able to hold it together since then (often runs freely) and may come up short again here.

Forecasts

Buxted Dream (5/6), Black Caesar (7/2), Otomo (4/1), Bahamian Sunrise (5/1), Zamjar (5/1)

A competitive heat with all five being given some sort of chance although the course didn’t appear to suit Zamjar last time out and Buxted Dream making his handicap debut having not impressed in maidens. Otomo and BLACK CAESAR give Philip Hide a strong hand in this and the latter has shown a liking for this course and looks the pick of his pair with Bahamian Sunrise capable of going close in this off top weight having shown he can act on this course before.
