King Oswald^p,t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: J W Unett| OR: 60| CD

11/2

A C&D winner who often produces his best form at this track. He was successful here back in April over the slightly longer trip of 1m1½f but has been unable to follow that up five attempts since. Can't discount.

Form: 126847

Is It Off^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Curran| OR: 57

8/1

Was not too far away over this C&D three runs ago when he was fourth of 13, beaten by 2¾L. Has been well held on his last two attempts though, including latest at Southwell (1m) where he was eighth of 14. Down 2lb but others appeal more.

Form: 26-7408

Medici Moon^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: R J Price| OR: 56| CD

9/1

Scored over this C&D back in April from this mark. Was not too far away last time when he was third of 10 on the AW at Kempton (1m), beaten by 1¼L. Remains off the same mark. Leading contender.

Form: 107003

Barbarosa^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Herrington| OR: 59

7/2

Remains a maiden after 13 starts but he came really close to success three runs ago at Ripon (1m2f) when he was second of six, beaten by a neck. Looks to still be off a workable mark. One to consider.

Form: 474296

I Think So^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: D Loughnane| OR: 53

7/1

Has yet to score in nine attempts but she has been running well at this track in her last four starts. She was fifth of 12 here (1m1½f) last time out. Drops down 1lb in the weights. One to think about.

Form: 602565

Johni Boxit^p⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 53WS

50/1

His sole success came at Yarmouth (1m) in July 2018. Has not looked like adding to his tally recently, including on his more recent outing at Salisbury (1m) where he came home at the rear of nine runners. Has since had a wind-op. Best to watch.

Form: 23-3679

(10)

Kybosh¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Quinn| T: M Appleby| OR: 52

14/1

Lightly-raced gelding who has yet to score in five attempts. Did not beat a single horse last time on his first start for his new yard in an 11 runner contest at Yarmouth (1m3½f). Has been eased 3lb. Others are preferred.

Form: 090-30

(8)

Zarkavon^p¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

33/1

Is still looking for her first win after 28 starts but she has come close on a number of occasions this year, including when she was beaten by a short-head here back in January. Was disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) last time. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 557348

(13)

Tio Esteban⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: W J Martin| OR: 45

3/1

Is still a maiden but has improved since joining handicap company. Was disappointing last time at Gowran Park (1m) back in September. Has been dropped 1lb in the weights. Worth consideration from this mark.

Form: 0-20540

(12)

Transpennine Gold^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods| OR: 47

18/1

His form has yet to improve since joining handicapping company. He was seventh of 10 at this course last time over 1m1½f. Is dropping back down in trip and is 5lb lower in the weights. Others appeal more.

Form: 6-66067

(2)

Carlow Boy^b⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Jane Elliott| T: C N Kellett| OR: 45

28/1

Produced one of his best runs to date on his latest outing at Chepstow (1m) when he was fourth of 15 with blinkers on for the first time. Has an each-way chance on his return to action here.

Form: 445-754

Forecasts

Tio Esteban (3/1), Barbarosa (7/2), King Oswald (11/2), I Think So (7/1), Is It Off (8/1), Medici Moon (9/1), Kybosh (14/1), Confab (14/1), Top Offer (14/1), Transpennine Gold (18/1), Carlow Boy (28/1), Zarkavon (33/1), Johni Boxit (50/1)

MEDICI MOON scored over this C&D from this mark back in April and his latest run at Kempton suggests he is returning back to form so take him to prevail once again at this course. Barbarosa has been close to breaking his maiden this year and he should once again be a strong contender at the finish here from this mark, while I Think So can fill the placings as she has been running well at this course recently around this trip.
