Set In Stone²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: R J Osborne| OR: 92| D

4/1

Specialist miler who goes well when there is some ease in the ground. Ran well from this mark on seasonal return at Musselburgh and if she is in the same mood today in a slightly weaker race then she should go very close.

Form: 61116-2

Poet's Society²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 91

16/1

Has yet to win over this far but does see out 1m. Goes well on good to soft/soft ground and is a reasonably consistent performer who returns to turf after scoring over 7f at Lingfield (AW) last time. Won't be easy from 4lb higher.

Form: 175341

Holiday Magic³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 89| BF| D

14/1

Without a win since completing an AW hat-trick in January 2017 and remains 3lb higher than the last of those successes. Has gone close several times at Southwell of late but is 0-14 on turf and others make more appeal.

Windsor Beach³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 89

20/1

Won three races at around 1m2f in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh in 2016 and was at his best on better ground than forecast here. 3lb drop to this mark would not rule him out of this based on a couple of last year's efforts.

Form: 24570-7

Mulligatawny^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 89| C| D

8/1

Goes well here and scored over 1m2f at the track (soft) last year, when 2lb lower. Well beaten from 1lb higher here last week and this shorter trip leaves him with one or two things to prove.

Form: 14420-0

Frank Bridge¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 88| D

7/1

Won three last year at 7f-1m and goes well on good to soft ground. 4lb higher today than the last of those wins at Sandown in August but has not been as good since a rise in the weights.

Form: 11306-0

(5)

Storm Ahead⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| D

8/1

Scored over this trip (soft) at Salisbury in 2016, when 4lb lower, but was unable to add to that for Marcus Tregoning. Well beaten here over 1m2f last week but if better for that run then he has claims based on his best form last year.

Form: 45027-0

Roll On Rory¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: J Ward| OR: 85| D

18/1

Appears to act on any ground and it was good to soft when he recorded his latest win at Newmarket (1m) in November. Well held from this mark (on AW) on his only run since and yet to show his best form after a break.

Form: 432410-

Boots And Spurs^v⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 79| CD

10/1

Scored over C&D (good to soft) in June from 1lb lower. Was out of sorts after a break on AW in March, but hinted at better last Saturday at Nottingham and enters calculations back here with 5lb being claimed.

Form: 127-500

(2)

Kingston Kurrajong¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: W J Knight| OR: 78| D

2/1

1m/soft ground suits, although he has not won on turf since June 2016 when he was 9lb higher. However, he has been on good form on Kempton's Polytrack of late and is very much entitled to consideration in this.

Form: 205-713

Forecasts

Kingston Kurrajong (2/1), Set In Stone (4/1), Frank Bridge (7/1), Seduce Me (7/1), Storm Ahead (8/1), Mulligatawny (8/1), Redgrave (8/1), Boots And Spurs (10/1), Holiday Magic (14/1), Poet's Society (16/1), Roll On Rory (18/1), Windsor Beach (20/1), Mon Beau Visage (25/1)

Seduce Me should strip fitter for her reappearance and could go close here with conditions to suit, while Set In Stone is a threat to all now back on this grade, though preference is for bottom weight KINGSTON KURRAJONG. William Knight's gelding has won from significantly higher and arrives in good from from the All Weather. Several others can have cases made for them if able to produce their best, including Boots And Spurs, Storm Ahead and Windsor Beach.
