(5)

Quothquan³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: M Madgwick| OR: 82

9/2

Made tremendous late progress in a fair handicap for this grade over an inadequate trip. 3lb rise shouldn't be an issue and looks a leading contender back up to this staying test.

Form: 0513-52

(10)

Master Archer^v²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 80

4/1

Maiden after 14 starts that has included seven seconds. Likely to be in the mix again but has had his chances and remains a frustrating type.

Form: 222-222

(11)

Arty Campbell¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 80| CD

33/1

Winner over hurdles in October but has returned to the Flat with two well held efforts and best watched at present.

Form: 3519-07

(6)

Denmead²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: J Butler| OR: 78| CD

5/2

Goes well over this C&D and returns after a very good third at York in a higher grade. Suited by these conditions and looks likely to go close.

Form: 1520-72

(4)

Berrahri¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Best| OR: 75| C

14/1

Struggled over this trip on one try previously and looks an unlikely stayer. Generally struggling over shorter this year and easy to oppose.

Form: 5-84898

(7)

Ardamir²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 70

25/1

Twice a winner over jumps but still a maiden on the Flat after 22 starts. Well beaten last twice and best overlooked.

Form: 333394

(12)

Southfields^t1⁹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: K Shoemark| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 69

66/1

Raced three times in maidens for Charlie Appleby in 2015 and not seen since. Hard to weigh up on first start for new stable and presumably will be going hurdling in due course. Best watched after absence of 969 days.

Form: 426/

(8)

Planetoid²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: J F Egan| T: J & S Best| OR: 68| C| D

100/1

Has returned from a lengthy absence with three well beaten runs including when pulled up last time. Impossible to make a case for at present.

Form: 00/69P0

(2)

The Way You Dance^v⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 62| D

5/1

Carries a 6lb penalty for a narrow success over this trip at Lingfield but had to overcome a great deal of traffic problems. It wasn't the strongest of contests but he clearly has more to offer and should be involved.

Form: 3004-21

(9)

Volturnus^t⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: N Mackay| T: S Lycett| OR: 66| CD

25/1

Winner of two of his last three for Jamie Osborne but has taken another stiff rise in the handicap. Open to progress and possibilities but this resembles a harder grade off this new mark.

Form: 40-4141

(3)

Unblinking^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 58

13/2

Returned from hurdling with a decent second on the Flat and has shaped as though he needs a stronger pace to aim at. Has the ability to break his maiden tag soon but races here from out of the handicap. Stable also trains Southfields.

Form: 0/885-22

Chivers³²

Weight: 8-10| Age: 7

T: D Steele J: Joshua Bryan

Forecasts

Denmead (5/2), Master Archer (4/1), Quothquan (9/2), The Way You Dance (5/1), Chivers (11/2), Unblinking (13/2), Berrahri (14/1), Ardamir (25/1), Volturnus (25/1), Arty Campbell (33/1), Southfields (66/1), Planetoid (100/1)

Chivers remains potentially well handicapped but needs to translate that form to this much different surface. QUOTHQUAN couldn't have caught the eye anymore when charging home for a narrow defeat and this trip is ideal. Denmead likes it here and ran a fine race on turf last time while The Way You Dance won with plenty in hand after trouble in running and looks a clear danger. Master Archer could easily place but isn't one to place great faith in for the win.
