Bambys Boy¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: L P Keniry| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Winner of a bumper four years ago. Infrequent racecourse appearance in National Hunt Flat races and hurdles over the years. Two disappointing runs on the AW this season when well beaten in both.

Form: 00

Limited Reserve³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: M Dwyer| T: Christian Williams

22/1

Useful handicap hurdler. Only had the one flat race in his life when running horribly at Southwell over 1m4f (slowly into stride, always behind and finally tailed off). Market will provide the only clue to his chances.

Form: 7

(8)

Mottaham¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J F Egan| T: Christian Williams

125/1

Had just the one racecourse appearance over an extended six furlongs at this track two weeks ago. Form comment is very telling "Mostly in last, allowed to come home in own time"

Form: 0

Simply Sin²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Started slowly on only two racecourse appearances at Kempton last autumn over six furlongs. Showed signs of promise but an unlikely winner against some smarter types.

Form: 07-

Thespinningwheel⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West

100/1

Slowly away and tailed off on only racecourse appearance at Chelmsford earlier this month. No real chance based on that form.

Form: 0

Mizuki¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

6/1

Not disgraced on only racecourse appearance beaten around 13 lengths in a decent novice event for three-year-olds late last month (1m2f). Should improve and will deserve to be one of the market leaders.

Form: 7

(7)

Eighteenhundred

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls

16/1

€50,000 yearling; a half-brother to 1m Listed race winner Seolan and Sancerre, a useful sprinter in his day. Hard to assess and market will no doubt provide clues.

Hamish⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

2/5

Looks the form choice based on his good second at Thirsk in April. Bred to enjoy this step up in trip and should go well for in-form trainer. On the downside, he refused to go into the stalls and was withdrawn when entered at Redcar in May.

Form: 2

(6)

Knowing³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72| BF

3/1

Improved on his seasonal reappearance run at Yarmouth when an unlucky in running third at Nottingham last time out on soft ground. If making more progress he may be the one they have to beat.

Form: 34-73

(13)

Pecorino^h1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

25/1

Not totally disgraced on either of his two racecourse appearances and deserves another chance but likelihood he will not be good enough against some more progressive types.

Form: 80

(5)

Sherwood Forrester⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George

28/1

Reasonable effort on only racecourse appearance at Chepstow early last month. Should improve on that effort but unlikely enough to win this,

Form: 8

(3)

Tronador¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan

33/1

Slow starts have blighted both his starts so far with this son of Lope De Vega looking as though he had learned little from his debut last time out. Form looks modest overall; needs this run for a mark and middle-distance handicaps await.

Form: 96

Ximena³²

Weight: 8-11| Age: 3

T: Samuel Farrell J: E J Walsh

Forecasts

Hamish (2/5), Knowing (3/1), Mizuki (6/1), Eighteenhundred (16/1), Limited Reserve (22/1), Pecorino (25/1), Sherwood Forrester (28/1), Tronador (33/1), Ximena (66/1), Bambys Boy (100/1), Simply Sin (100/1), Thespinningwheel (100/1), Mottaham (125/1)

Very few here with real chances so it may be best to plump for KNOWING who is improving an will likely handle the expected soft ground. If Hamish manages to go into the stalls this time then he could rate the main danger based on his fine effort over a mile at Thirsk. Mizuki should improve on his debut effort at Sandown and could give the market leaders most to do.
