Orbaan¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 104| CD

11/4

Won twice in France when with Andre Fabre and scored for the first time since joining this trainer over C&D (good to soft) earlier in the month, at 25-1. Up 4lb for that career-best, but couldn't rule out another.

Form: 85/24-81

Elwazir²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 103

8/1

Dual good/fast ground winner over 1m2f at three. Has faced some stiff tasks in Group and conditions company since then. Back in better form in a Newmarket handicap last time, but needs to pull out more to win again. Drops back in trip.

Form: 5/6256-3

Greenside²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: H Candy| OR: 101| D

9/1

Goes on any ground and was winning for the fifth time on turf when doing so at Haydock (7f, soft) last time out, when he was plenty keen enough (front pair 2L clear). Up 3lb for that career-best, but looks an each-way player at the least.

Form: 3452-71

Silent Attack³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: B A Curtis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 100| D

25/1

Triple AW winner whose sole turf success came on soft ground in 2016. Hard to fancy on what he has produced on his last few starts on this surface.

Form: 023-120

(6)

Al Erayg^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| D

11/1

Dual AW winner in this country whose only turf win came in France in 2016. Goes on any ground and has proved competitive on turf from today's mark, so can't rule him out despite a strike rate of 1-23.

Form: 215-133

(1)

Just Hiss^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| CD

33/1

Dual good ground C&D winner in 2017/2018 and has won at up to 1m1f. 1lb below that last winning mark, but ran well again when higher last season, and could bounce back after a couple of lack lustre efforts.

Form: 6283-90

Tadleel¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| D

13/2

Sole turf win came on his second career start at Newmarket (7f, good) in 2017, when with Ed Dunlop. Won on AW on his debut for this trainer last month, but not as good back on turf since and more needed after 2lb rise.

Form: 953-153

(7)

Irv²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 83| CD

10/1

Came from off the pace to win back-to-back races over C&D last summer (good to firm/good), the more recent when 7lb lower. Resumed with a good effort at Thirsk last week (1m, good to soft) and is considered from 3lb higher.

Form: 11090-2

(2)

Hartswood¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86

5/2

Scored at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last September in a novice event. Reappeared with a really good effort here over 7f (good to soft) earlier in the month, when ½L third. Open to further improvement from this 4lb higher mark. Claims.

Form: 5216-3

Forecasts

Hartswood (5/2), Orbaan (11/4), Tadleel (13/2), Elwazir (8/1), Greenside (9/1), Irv (10/1), Al Erayg (11/1), Silent Attack (25/1), Just Hiss (33/1)

Another interesting contest where HARTSWOOD, who ran well here on his recent return to action, is taken to continue his progress and score from this slightly higher mark. Dual C&D winner Irv should provide a considerable danger, while Greenside looks a probable contender. Al Erayg doesn't win very often, but may still be very competitive.
