Kinks²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 90

4/1

Not beaten far at Newmarket last time out and while he hasn't won since landing back to back races over a year ago, the form of his effort last time looks solid enough. Up 3lb but should go well.

Form: 40-7463

Princes Des Sables²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89| D

16/1

Enjoyed a fantastic campaign as a juvenile winning four of her eight starts and yet to finish outside the first three. Soft ground is in her favour and she's got rock solid claims provided she's ready to go on return.

Shallow Hal²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 87| CD

9/2

Won twice in 2018 including over C&D but hasn't been at his best in two starts this time around over 7f. Handicapper has been a little slow to relent but signs the yard are hitting form and he may do better here back in trip with cut in the ground.

Form: 2112-60

Roulston Scar²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82| BF| D

6/1

Unlucky not to get a win on a couple of occasions as a juvenile but made all to win a nine-runner handicap at Wetherby on return. Form of that win is working out okay and it was a respectable effort in defeat at York last time. Back up in trip.

Form: 2325-13

Tenax²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 81

16/1

One win from five starts as a juvenile for Joseph O'Brien. 2L behind Roulston Scar (third) at York last time though and has looked better over the minimum trip rather than 6f in evidence to date.

Form: 133-325

Hafeet Alain⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 80| D

7/2

Just a Doncaster maiden win to his name to date, though has been running well in defeat this campaign. Can miss the break and wouldn't want to do that at this venue but should get his optimum trip/ground.

Form: 315-322

Golden Circle²⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S P Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79

12/1

Improved from debut to win at Ripon in August and posted a smart effort in defeat at York when last seen. Steps up a ½f in trip for her return and while she's entitled to need the run on return, a talented 5lb claimer is an asset in the saddle.

Form: 2192-

Obee Jo³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| D

9/1

Took a big step forward from debut to win at Thirsk in April and only found one too good at Nottingham. The latter form has taken a few knocks though and while he's open to more improvement on handicap debut here; others hold stronger claims.

Form: 512

Triple Distilled^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 76| D

9/1

Won at Carlisle on final start of 2018 on heavy ground. Hasn't been quite at his best in three runs this campaign but signs a return to form may not be far away at Doncaster last time. Each-way claims if building on that.

Form: 521-734

Forecasts

Hafeet Alain (7/2), Kinks (4/1), Shallow Hal (9/2), Roulston Scar (6/1), Triple Distilled (9/1), Obee Jo (9/1), Lincoln Park (10/1), Golden Circle (12/1), Tenax (16/1), Princes Des Sables (16/1)

Kevin Ryan's Roulston Scar and Princes Des Sables both look interesting, with the former likely to appreciate a step back up in trip and the latter a progressive filly who has to be of interest if ready to go on seasonal debut. However, small preference is for KINKS who gets the services of Silvestre De Sousa and it was a solid effort in defeat at Newmarket last time out in what looked a competitive handicap. Shallow Hal is another to consider with the drop back in trip likely to suit.
