Harbour Front²⁷

5/1

Below-form seventh of 14 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 27 days ago. Still low mileage so not totally dismissed off reduced mark.

Noble Gift¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 70| C

16/1

Course winner but it's now 30 runs since last win in 2017. Below-par seventh of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f) 17 days ago so needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 64-3407

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 71

22/1

12/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 16 days ago, though very much having run of race. Needs to produce more upped 1 lb.

18/1

Winless since the restart but arrives in good form, fourth of 12 in 10f handicap here 14 days ago when left with too much to do. Firmly in the mix off unchanged mark.

Life Matters⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 64

7/4

On the up since upped in trip and opened his account in style in 2m handicap at Kempton 8 days ago, striding clear for 6l win. Saddles 6 lb penalty and back in distance now though so bit more needed.

Form: 729431

Forecasts

Life Matters (7/4), Harbour Front (5/1), Amjaady (7/1), Really Super (15/2), Jumping Cats (15/2), Elhafei (14/1), Noble Gift (16/1), Country'n'western (18/1), Twpsyn (22/1), Looktothelight (22/1)

Marginal preference is for AMJAADY who will be suited by this step back up in trip and can gain just reward for a series of good recent efforts. Country'N'Western brings solid form to the table so is sure to make his presence felt, while Elhafei is another well worth a second look in an open handicap.
