(5)

Fronsac¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 67

7/2

Remains a maiden after five starts. Produced his best run of the season last time when he was fifth of 13 at Kempton (1m) on the AW. Stepping down in trip here which should help. Has an each-way chance.

Form: 535-085

(6)

Tanqeeb¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

25/1

Showed some promise on his opening start when he was third of 11 at Ffos Las (6f). Since then he has struggled to build upon his debut. He was fourth of five last time at Brighton (7f). Has switched yards since. Needs to improve.

Form: 308-4

(7)

Balata Bay^b²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: M Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

7/2

His sole success so far came on the AW at Kempton (7f) back in April. Has shown some good form on turf since then without success. He was fourth of eight last time at Salisbury (7f). Has each-way claims.

Form: 338254

Fancy Flyer³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke Bacon⁽⁷⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 70

17/2

Broke his maiden at this track last time over 7f on the AW surface where he justified going off as the 100/30 favourite. Did run well at Epsom (7f) on his previous turf outing, finishing third of 11. Leading contender.

Form: 65-9931

(8)

Narak¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: George Scott| OR: 67| BF

4/1

Produced her best performance to date last time when she was second of seven at Catterick (7f) on the third start of her career where she went off as the 5/4 favourite. Makes her handicap debut in this contest. One to consider.

Form: 832

(3)

Annexation⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 63| BF

11/4

Still a maiden after five runs, however, he has gone close on his last two starts, including latest over this C&D where he was third of 11, beaten 2½L after going off as the 11/10 favourite. Leading player to gain opening win here.

Form: 55433

(4)

Aegean Legend^p⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a maiden following nine appearances on the track. His form has not improved since joining handicap company. He was eighth of 13 last time over this C&D. Hard to make a case for him on what he has shown so far.

Form: 090-098

(1)

Approve The Dream⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 53

12/1

Still looking for his opening success. Has hit the frame on a couple of occasions this year. He was disappointing last time at Wolverhampton 1m½f on the AW where he was eighth of 10. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 253408

Forecasts

Annexation (11/4), Fronsac (7/2), Balata Bay (7/2), Narak (4/1), Fancy Flyer (17/2), Approve The Dream (12/1), Tanqeeb (25/1), Aegean Legend (40/1)

ANNEXATION went close over this C&D last time and he can build upon that here off this 1lb lower mark to record the first success of his career. Fancy Flyer broke his maiden here last time and although that was on the AW surface, he has been running well on turf so he should go close, while Narak can give another good account of herself on her handicap debut which should see her finish in the frame.
