Premier Power¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 102| BF| CD

11/8

Promising type. Creditable short-head second of 8 to Brian The Snail in handicap (4/6) at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has good chance on form.

Form: 21-12

Aberama Gold³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 101| D

7/1

Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 2/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 30 days ago, driven out. Should give another good account.

Mohareb⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 90| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs to do more.

Form: 607266

Typhoon Ten¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| C| D

12/1

Course winner. 4½ lengths seventh of 8 to Brian The Snail in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Merhoob⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 87| CD

11/1

3-time C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/1) 7 days ago, slowly away and not getting totally clear run. Not discounted from a fair mark.

Form: 570035

(6)

Lomu¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-3| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 84| BF| D

10/1

Creditable second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (5f) 16 days ago. Interesting from this sort of mark, but will need the race to pan out ideally.

Form: 450842

Forecasts

Premier Power (11/8), Mohareb (13/2), Aberama Gold (7/1), Top Breeze (9/1), Lomu (10/1), Merhoob (11/1), Typhoon Ten (12/1), Brian The Snail (14/1), Will To Win (18/1)

The lightly-raced PREMIER POWER looked comfortably ahead of his mark when just denied (raced very freely in front) by Brian The Snail at Kempton last time so, provided he settles better, he can get back to winning ways from a handy draw. Merhoob didn't get a clear run at Wolverhampton recently and goes well at this track, so he's considered a danger along with the in-form Top Breeze.
