Biggles¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R P Downey| T: R M Beckett

11/2

Promising type. Off 16 months, likely needed run when seventh of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly down in trip. Likely to improve.

Form: 6/7

(7)

Blue Flame²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: E A L Dunlop

40/1

Fair form in 2 run around 1¼m for Saeed Bin Suroor last year. Down significantly in trip for yard debut.

Form: 57-

(3)

Crantock Bay^b1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: George Scott| OR: 70

4/5

Excuses for his last 2 defeats at Newcastle and had been knocking at the door prior to that. This may finally be his day.

Form: 722-278

(4)

El Ray^t²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: S C Williams| OR: 66WS

12/1

Modest form in 2 runs at up to 7f for Kevin Ryan last summer. Down in trip on return for new trainer. Has had wind surgery.

Form: 65-

(5)

Klopp of The Kop⁵²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77

11/2

Fair form at up to 7f for Clive Cox in 2019. Chance on those efforts but betting perhaps the best guide to expectation after such a long time off.

Form: 4336/

(6)

Praise The Lord

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

6/1

Bated Breath colt. Dam very useful 6f winner. This a belated debut but starts out in an ordinary race and would come into it if the market speaks for him.

Form:

(1)

Seesawing

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Brisland

40/1

Music Master gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Purple Paddy. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Yard has a decent AW sprinter in Power Over Me so market support worth noting.

Crantock Bay (4/5), Biggles (11/2), Klopp of The Kop (11/2), Praise The Lord (6/1), El Ray (12/1), Seesawing (40/1), Blue Flame (40/1)

CRANTOCK BAY was turned over at short odds the last time he contested a race like this but subsequent events have shown he was up against a very useful sort so he's worth one final chance with first-time blinkers replacing a visor. Biggles shaped with a bit of promise on his recent return from a long absence and may provide the chief threat unless the betting speaks for Praise The Lord.
