Le Chiffre¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

6/4

Making his first start since being gelded when scoring by 3½L on handicap and seasonal debut over an extended 7f at Beverley (good) last time out. Strong claims of defying a 6lb penalty stepping up in trip.

Form: 424-1

Spantik^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 71| D

12/1

Couple of decent efforts in defeat so far this campaign most recently in first time cheekpieces (replaced with blinkers here) when seventh over 1m at Doncaster (good) last month. Interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 7107-87

(4)

Reclaim Victory²⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 70

20/1

Soft ground maiden winner over 7f at Haydock last August and finished a good fourth upped to 1m next time. Worth a check in the market on first start since finishing last of nine at Doncaster (7f, good-to-firm) in September.

Martin's Brig⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Danny Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 70

50/1

Placed twice at two but struggled on each of his last two starts including on first start since being gelded when 11L seventh in a 1m event at Haydock (good) recently. Handicap debut that day and others make more appeal.

Form: 32-77

(8)

Robert Guiscard³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 69| BF

13/2

First start since being gelded when finishing 6¼L sixth in a 7f event at Yarmouth (firm) a month ago. Represents a top yard and is of interest on his first attempt at this distance.

Form: 46353-6

(6)

Danny Ocean^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

8/1

Fair seventh in a 6f handicap at Newbury (good) last month on his return from a break. Stamina to prove on first attempt at this trip and market support would be notable in this event.

Form: 1654-67

(7)

Lexington Warfare²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

10/3

Seven race maiden placed over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in March. Gave trouble at the start when well beaten over 1m2f at Lingfield last month on his most recent start and he interesting to see how he performs back down in trip.

Form: 4803-30

(2)

Jungle Book²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 64

25/1

Eight race maiden was making his stable and seasonal debut when finishing 27L last of ten in a handicap over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month. Others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 52383-0

(9)

Grand Pianola²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63

50/1

Held in three starts so far including when beaten 10½L over 7f at Leicester (good) nearly three weeks ago. Market support would be notable stepping up in distance on handicap debut.

Form: 97-5

(1)

Got The T Shirt¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60

8/1

Ran well when beaten 1L into fourth in a 7f handicap at Thirsk (good) last month. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit and has run well on a soft surface in the past.

Form: 4589-74

Forecasts

Le Chiffre (6/4), Lexington Warfare (10/3), Robert Guiscard (13/2), Got The T Shirt (8/1), Danny Ocean (8/1), Spantik (12/1), Reclaim Victory (20/1), Jungle Book (25/1), Martin's Brig (50/1), Grand Pianola (50/1)

GOT THE T SHIRT ran well on his latest outing and receiving weight from all of his rivals he can make his first appearance over this distance a winning one by taking this three-year-old only handicap. The selection can get the better of top weight Le Chiffre who carries a penalty for a recent success and is another stepping up in distance while Lexington Warfare can finish third having disappointed when slowly away over further on his most recent start.
