Cashel⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 65| CD

8/1

Dual winner on the AW at Chelmsford and here (both 1m) earlier in the year. Just 2lb above previous win-mark now and April's effort on soft going at Haydock best forgotten. Should bounce back to form.

Form: 118540

Fortune And Glory¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: David Egan| T: J Tuite| OR: 64| CD

11/4

Three-times a winner during 2018, two of them around here including this trip. Best of three runs this year came 15 days ago at Newbury and could put best foot forward back on this surface.

Form: 687-877

(10)

Militry Decoration²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 62

13/2

Continues to threaten since joining this handler from Ireland. Has run well over C&D in April and return to this venue and back in Class 6 company ensure he's considered off this mark.

Form: 7-86345

(9)

Golden Nectar^p1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 62| CD

33/1

Close third over 7f here in February when ridden prominently. Stays a mile but has run three poor races since that effort and getting harder to place any faith in as a result. Cheekpieces are added now.

Form: 23-3800

(6)

Classic Charm⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Dwyer| T: D K Ivory| OR: 61| D

15/2

Had placed a few times on the AW before opening account in a Fillies' Handicap at Nottingham over extended-mile in May. Not sure that form amounts to a lot but she's only 3lb higher now.

Form: 3-27391

(1)

Sweet Nature^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 60| D

16/1

Canford Cliffs filly, scored in Newcastle novice contest over this trip for William Haggas back in the winter but has been mixed bag in five runs over 7f-1m2f since joining this handler.

Form: 530486

(13)

Alexandria⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: C Fellowes| OR: 58

16/1

Oasis Dream filly, hasn't shown enough in three qualifying runs to merit support on handicap debut; can only be watched unless market vibes are decidedly strong.

Form: 90-7

(7)

Mans Not Trot^p⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 56| D

16/1

Keen racer, made a winning debut for this yard when victorious by a head in a handicap over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in April. Didn't quite get home next time at Chelmsford over 1m2f. Not dismissed down in trip again.

Form: 330317

(14)

Flying Moon^b1⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: J G Portman| OR: 65

16/1

Reasonable effort on reappearance at Brighton (1m2f) before struggling over an extended mile at Chepstow latest. Hard to interpret overall form; makes handicap/AW bow here and market will reveal more.

Form: 0-36

(2)

Confab³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 65

22/1

Signs of ability when fourth of five in a 7f novice race at Goodwood (good) on debut last month. Struggled on next two starts however and market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Form: 470

(5)

Recuerdame⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: S Dow| OR: 65

5/1

Won first handicap, a four-runner contest at Chelmsford last August but has found things tougher since. Mark is declining now, which offers hope of better things to come.

Form: 7415-60

(4)

Mr Spirit^b1,t1⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 64| BF

25/1

Not without promise for Charlie Hills, must put a disappointing AW/stable bow at Chelmsford over 7f in April however. Was fancied then (favourite) so interesting to note with array for first-time headgear added now.

Form: 0686-0

(8)

Lynchpin¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A McCarthy| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 64

66/1

Camacho colt, hasn't sparkled so far in six-race career but remains early days and there could be more to come. Must improve.

Form: 380-07

Wall Of Sapphire²⁶

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

Forecasts

Fortune And Glory (11/4), Recuerdame (5/1), Militry Decoration (13/2), Classic Charm (15/2), Cashel (8/1), Wall Of Sapphire (8/1), Sweet Nature (16/1), Mans Not Trot (16/1), Flying Moon (16/1), Alexandria (16/1), Confab (22/1), Mr Spirit (25/1), Golden Nectar (33/1), Lynchpin (66/1)

A tough puzzle to solve, with plenty holding chances seemingly. Previous C&D winner Fortune And Glory shaped better at Newbury last time and is respected back here while Cashel's last run on soft at Haydock is overlooked and he needs considering on previous efforts. Mr Spirit let his backers down at Chelmsford on stable bow, so it will be noted if money comes again. Recuerdame has an easier task this time but preference is for MILITRY DECORATION, who has banged on the door since joining this yard and might just make his mark now back in Class 6 company at a track he clearly handles.
