Selected odds by:

Bartholomeu Dias¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: C Hills| OR: 92

8/1

Has had more racing than most of these, but his form ties in with some nice horses and he should go well under a penalty for winning at Wolverhampton two starts back.

Form: 343-15

(5)

Hinde Street²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

2/1

Off the mark on debut at Lingfield last time out. The switch to turf and step up to this trip shouldn't pose too much of an issue to him, and under a penalty he can run another big race for this top trainer.

Form: 1

(8)

Lucky Deal¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

8/1

Won nicely at Chelmsford in November when shaping as if this step up in trip should suit. Has been off since then but progressed between his first two runs and every chance he can do so again.

Form: 31-

(4)

Blazing Saddles¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: R M Beckett

9/5

Slightly disappointing that he couldn't build on his debut effort when sixth at Newbury last time, but that was a big field and there's every chance the extra furlong here will help as well.

Form: 36

(3)

Caliburn¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

11/1

Down the field on debut at Newmarket last time out, but was sent off at 50/1 so clearly wasn't expected to show too much. Difficult to see him improving too much for this run.

Form: 5

(2)

Great Beyond¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

8/1

Down the field on debut at Nottingham last time when not apparently particularly fancied. The step up in trip may suit, and he could show more as a three-year-old.

Form: 8-

(1)

Wardaddy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Dalgleish

100/1

Keith Dagleish representative making his first appearance here, who cost €45,000 as a yearling. Not the most appealing pedigree and possibly set for a low key debut.

Forecasts

Blazing Saddles (9/5), Hinde Street (2/1), Lucky Deal (8/1), Great Beyond (8/1), Bartholomeu Dias (8/1), Caliburn (11/1), Colenso (33/1), Wardaddy (100/1)

Blazing Saddles is likely better than he showed last time out and is one to consider back in a smaller field, while Hinde Street should also run well under a penalty for top connections. However preference is for LUCKY DEAL, who got off the mark at Chelmsford in November, and provided he can progress again like he did between his first two runs, can take the return to turf in his stride and defy the penalty.
