Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 74

2/1

Had just four starts since making a winning debut at Newbury (soft) in October 2014. Stepped up on his first run in nearly two years when finishing runner-up over 1m2f at Newbury (good) last time. Also declared 16:00 Brighton Sunday.

Form: 132/72

Warrior Prince³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

10/1

Maiden after six starts and disappointed on soft ground over 1m4f last time out. Drop in trip and better ground here should suit and interesting to see how he performs today.

Form: 5624-50

Essenaitch¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Fran Berry| T: P D Evans| OR: 70| C

11/2

Winning for the fifth time when successful over 1m2f on good-to-soft ground here last time out. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and one to note in this contest.

Form: 367701

House Of Commons³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

8/1

Victorious twice in a 17 race career most recently on the fibresand at Southwell in January. Handicap mark falling as a result of some modest efforts on turf of late and steps up in trip today.

Form: 538047

Romanor^h³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 76

7/2

Eight race maiden and held in handicaps on his last three outings. Mark is falling but others make more appeal in this contest.

Form: 4-25455

Bazooka¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 69| C

20/1

Racing over hurdles of late including when contesting a Grade 2 contest at Kempton (good) in February. Interesting to see how he fares on his return to the Flat.

Form: 76505-9

Lester Kris⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

6/1

Running well of late including when 5L second in a soft ground 1m4f handicap at York on his penultimate outing. Fair effort back in a maiden subsequently and one for the shortlist returning from a break in this contest.

Form: 453-423

Forecasts

Milky Way (2/1), Romanor (7/2), Essenaitch (11/2), Lester Kris (6/1), House Of Commons (8/1), Warrior Prince (10/1), Bazooka (20/1)

LESTER KRIS ran well in a handicap at York on his penultimate start and can take this following a break. The selection has run well on quick ground in the past and can get the better of Milky Way who ran well in an amateur riders contest last time out while last months course winner Essenaitch can claim third off his revised mark.
