(5)

My Fantasea²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

9/1

Arrives in form from a successful AW campaign winning and finishing second twice in his last four starts. 3lb rise looks fair but yet to prove he stays this far.

Form: 7-82121

(2)

Ingleby Hollow^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: C J McGovern| T: D O'Meara| OR: 71| D

5/1

Returned from hurdling in great form with a good second over C&D and a win over further last time. Versatile regarding ground and has won off 2lb higher in the past. Every chance of following up.

Form: 1647-21

(1)

Star Ascending^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Candlish| OR: 69| D

8/1

Has been in sparkling form for some time on the AW, subsequently rising significantly in the weights. Wasn't suited by the way the race panned out last start and gets to race off 5lb lower mark back on turf. Should be in the mix again.

Form: 146113

(12)

Swansway⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67| D

4/1

Was back to last winning mark when just missing out last time back up to this trip. Up 2lb (negated by apprentice) but down in grade and has his ideal conditions once again.

Form: 77-3062

(10)

Framley Garth²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 66| BF| C

10/1

Possibly not suited by the quick reappearance but was below form in his ideal conditions last start. Best form at shorter and on easier ground.

Form: 50-4154

(11)

Exclusive Waters¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65

40/1

Suited by the extra distance now but never travelling and well beaten on stable debut following absence. Best watched.

Form: 11692-0

(3)

King's Coinage^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jane Elliott| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65| D

8/1

Has dropped to a decent mark and improved effort down in grade last start despite not settling early. Can be competitive but this is tougher.

Form: 6009-05

(7)

Clenymistra²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Patrick Vaughan⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| D

14/1

Ran well off this mark last season when running consistently well after switching to this current stable. Won on reappearance last season, has shown a preference for quick ground and there could be more to come again at four.

Form: 231275-

(9)

Iberica Road⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 57

20/1

Failed to build on promise of reappearance and unproven at this far. Needs to find improvement.

Form: 4195-48

(8)

Weather Front^p⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Sebastian Woods⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 57

6/1

Had plummeted in the weights when getting an overdue win on AW and now up 2lb. Probably remains ahead of the handicapper and hit the line strongly that suggests this trip is within his range.

Form: 700-201

(6)

Leodis¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Watson| T: T P Tate| OR: 52

7/1

Dropped too far in trip last time and better suited by this test. Tough ask though from out of the handicap.

Form: 5-53455

Forecasts

Swansway (4/1), Ingleby Hollow (5/1), Weather Front (6/1), Leodis (7/1), Star Ascending (8/1), King's Coinage (8/1), Snookered (8/1), My Fantasea (9/1), Framley Garth (10/1), Clenymistra (14/1), Iberica Road (20/1), Exclusive Waters (40/1)

A really open contest to kick off proceedings where the in form My Fantasea, Star Ascending and Swansway should all be competitive again. Weather Front remains well handicapped and showed a really likeable attitude in getting his second career win. Likewise there's a lot to like about Ingleby Hollow following his latest success, however slight preference is for his stablemate CLENYMISTRA who goes well fresh and looked the type to improve again this campaign.
