Well Done Fox²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 103

18/1

Highly-tried in two starts this year (Palace House/King's Stand, both Group events) having been similarly tested as a 3yo. Had been a smart 2yo (three-time winner up to Listed level), handicap debut over a trip he's yet to be really tested over.

Form: 20/75-49

Highland Dress¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 97| CD

9/4

Ex-Irish 4yo who has made a good start with this yard winning back-to-back 6.1f/6f handicap at Southwell/Newmarket (Rowley). Respectable eighth in the much tougher Wokingham last time (beaten 3L), this slightly easier, could yet progress again.

Form: 35-2118

Pass The Vino³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 94| CD

11/2

Posted two big efforts over C&D last year (won big 3yo handicap on this card) off lower marks before his season rather sputtered to an end. Better for the run in a comparable handicap on the Rowley Mile on return, of definite interest over this C&D.

Form: 25008-3

Woven¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 94

8/1

Endured a winless 3yo season including two C&D defeats (ran well enough on one occasion) before scoring at Meydan (7f, good) on second 4yo start. Good effort in Silver Wokingham (6f, good), poorly positioned, capable sort who should be considered.

Form: 335-616

(3)

Equitation^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 92| D

22/1

Produced a career-best at Ascot (6f, good/firm) last September on a day when everything appeared to click winning by a clear margin. Found life tough off 7lb higher mark since (including on return), yard really yet to fire since racing returned.

Form: 26418-7

El Hombre¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 90| D

20/1

In good form on AW this year, took advantage of a slip in the weights to win at Wolverhampton (6.1f, standard/slow) in March. Ran creditably again last time, yet to run here, may well be better on AW these days, not won on turf since 2017.

Form: 3-45414

Chairmanoftheboard¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M R Channon| OR: 89| BF| D

6/1

Worked his way towards a winning performance at Windsor (6.1f, good) on third start having produced two previous sound efforts. Needs a strongly-run race, fair effort over last victorious C&D recently (didn't get a clear run), should be competitive.

Form: 44-2314

Reputation³⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89| D

25/1

Successful on his first start for Ruth Carr off a 1lb higher mark at Ripon (6f, good) the rest of his time there was rather up-and-down (failed to win again). Starts life with a new yard off a workable mark, worth keeping in touch with market vibes.

Form: 240007-

Breath Of Air¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 89| D

3/1

Cashed-in on a falling mark on return to action at Newbury (7f, good) having failed to really progress in 2019. Acceptable effort last time in a 7f handicap on the Rowley Mile off this mark, hard to say that he's progressing as well as some in this.

Form: 3565-14

(5)

Poyle Vinnie¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 8-5| J: A Mullen| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 87| D

66/1

Veteran sprinter who can still produce a useful performance on his day (won three 5f/6f handicaps last year). Exceeded market expectations (100-1) on return, may have raced on the best ground to finish fourth, faces some progressive types here.

Form: 21960-4

Forecasts

Highland Dress (9/4), Breath Of Air (3/1), Nahaarr (3/1), Pass The Vino (11/2), Chairmanoftheboard (6/1), Woven (8/1), Well Done Fox (18/1), El Hombre (20/1), Equitation (22/1), Reputation (25/1), Teruntum Star (33/1), Poyle Vinnie (66/1)

A good sprint handicap and the winner is likely to be at the top of his game to land this with handicap newcomer Well Done Fox heading the weights, he should appreciate the ease in grade. NAHAARR looked to enjoy the return to sprinting last time in the Silver Wokingham going like the best horse at the weights (forced to commit for home too early), he’s also proven on this course. Woven back in sixth that day takes another crack at the selection he too should run well having been hampered by the draw last time. Pass The Vino has a course record of 1-2 that makes him of interest with Chairmanoftheboard and Highland Dress two others that have the credentials to get involved.
