Elegiac¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 103| D

7/2

Consistent and progressive performer this season and one of the few proven at this level. The slow pace did not help last time and better judged on his impressive York victory. Needs to prove his last C&D run was an unfair reflection.

Form: 432212

(10)

Making Miracles²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 98| D

12/1

Has landed two races this season and finish a good third at Goodwood. Not at his best more recently and needs to improve on his previous AW efforts.

Form: 171300

(2)

Stream Song^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93

9/2

Has returned from a break to tackle longer trips at Newmarket and Lingfield, the latter being a Listed event. Has potential at this trip but handicapper has not made this easy.

Form: 41-1634

(5)

Lucky Deal¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J F Egan| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 89| C| D

6/1

Beat Wissahickon here as a juvenile and has proved a consistent handicapper this term apart from a blip in the Melrose. Gained just reward last week and looks set to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 933301

(9)

Lissitzky¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: L Morris| T: A M Balding| OR: 84

12/1

Lightly raced colt steps up in trip on handicap debut. Needs to improve, but that has to be considered possible given his pedigree and his rate of progress thus far.

Form: 712

(6)

Keltie¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-1| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83| BF

14/1

Lackluste effort here two weeks ago when sent off favourite. Hung right that day and with her victory coming at Kempton she needs to prove she is happy going left-handed.

Form: 413

(4)

Landue⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: P Mathers| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 74| C

11/4

Continues to defy the handicapper and gained his fifth success of the season on Tuesday. Effectively just 4lb higher and although up in grade, this is not the strongest of Class 2 handicaps.

Form: 113111

(1)

Dorella¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79

28/1

Lightly raced since her Wolverhampton victory last winter and now asked to step up an extra 4f. Has moved up the weights following a close third in a lower grade race at Newbury and she has too many questions to answer.

Form: 46-1423

(7)

Jedhi¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: David Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 79| D

12/1

Half-sister to yard's smart stayers Marmelo and Vent de Force and duly improved when stepping up to 1m6f at Nottingham. Fifth in a falsely run race last time, but proven on Polytrack and may have more to offer over this trip.

Form: 213415

(3)

Aircraft Carrier²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 78

16/1

Looked a stayer in the making when landing his maiden at Gowran Park for Ballydoyle. Joined current yard for 27,000 gns and this looks a stiff task on stable debut. Blinkers are removed.

Form: 9-41

Forecasts

Landue (11/4), Elegiac (7/2), Stream Song (9/2), Lucky Deal (6/1), Making Miracles (12/1), Jedhi (12/1), Lissitzky (12/1), Keltie (14/1), Aircraft Carrier (16/1), Dorella (28/1)

Weaker than average Class 2 but has attracted some progressive sorts. Chief amongst them is LANDUE who has won five races this year and still appeared ahead of the handicapper when scoring on Tuesday. Jedhi showed improved form when moving up to this trip and Lissitzky looks an interesting prospect now handicapping. Mark Johnston fields three with Lucky Deal and Elegiac holding their form well despite busy campaigns, but John Gosden's pair, Keltie and Stream Song have tough tasks at the weights.
