Beauty Choice¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79| D

10/3

Good second in 7f maiden here last term and got back on the right way when game winner of Chepstow novice (6f) this month. Back up 3lb but this trip looks to suit far better and top claimer is booked.

Form: 52-71

(4)

Intrinsic Bond¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 78| BF| D

5/2

Easy winner of Newcastle novice in March and competitive enough at this level recently. Only beaten 2L at Catterick last time and eased in the weights subsequently. Not without hope.

Form: 023-147

Alben Spirit²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

5/1

Sole win came in Pontefract maiden last term. Slowly getting the hang of things and 3L sixth at Sandown (7f) doesn't look as bad as first feared. Drop to 6f will suit.

Form: 431-56

(7)

Dream Together²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 73

15/2

Thrice-raced maiden and looks to be a work in progress. Placed but beaten 7L in Thirsk handicap (6f) last month. Still open to progress however so not discounted.

Form: 5-33

(9)

Star Prize¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 73

7/1

Yet to test the water in handicap company promising as a novice, culminating with 1L victory at Bath (5f) this month. Will need to prove she stays this trip but gets a workable opening mark. Noted.

Form: 69-21

(5)

Reviette¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69

10/1

Remains a maiden after four starts and took the eye when staying on to take fifth at Pontefract (5f) this month. Second start at this level off lighter mark. Not without hope.

Form: 437-5

(3)

War of Clans¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 68| CD

14/1

Strong form when game C&D winner two starts ago but found wanting off 5lb higher mark at Ripon (6f) next time. Gets little respite in the weights once more. Bit more needed.

Form: 5108-15

(6)

Wadi Al Salaam²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

40/1

Sole win came in strong-looking Newcastle novice event last year but not as good in subsequent starts. Latest 12L sixth at Haydock (7f) means others have more appealing profiles.

Form: 6617-86

Forecasts

Intrinsic Bond (5/2), Beauty Choice (10/3), Colouring (7/2), Alben Spirit (5/1), Star Prize (7/1), Dream Together (15/2), Reviette (10/1), War of Clans (14/1), Wadi Al Salaam (40/1)

Another race where winning form is rife, preference is for taking a chance with REVIETTE.. She is still a maiden, but was caught unlucky last time when she looked to be crying out for this distance. At a fairer track without a packed field, she may have conditions falling right for her. Her main rival looks to be Beauty Choice, who similarly appreciated the return to this trip last time and his mark is suppressed by a top claimer taking off 3lb - the same can be applied to War of Clans - while the likes of Colouring and Intrinsic Bond should be the best of the rest, with the latter likely to get a smoother trip this time around compared to his last effort.
