Acklam Express⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 110| CD

85/40

Three wins in a productive juvenile season. Cracking effort when a close third to Extravagant Kid in Group 1 Sprint at Meydan (6f, good) in March and he looks set for another profitable year.

Form: 140-233

Atalis Bay³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 101| D

13/2

Useful colt who made it 4 wins from 7 starts when making successful reappearance by 1¼ lengths from the reopposing Burning Cash at Nottingham 5 weeks ago, keeping on well. Another step forward needed.

Form: 11196-1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 99| D

10/1

Useful gelding, fourth in Group 2 Flying Childers and third in Group 3 Cornwallis last autumn. Showed he's trained on well when second on return, though not so good at Hamilton since.

Form: 1343-25

First Company⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 98

17/2

Left previous efforts behind after 7 months off when finishing runner-up on handicap debut at Chester 8 days ago, pulling nicely clear of the remainder. Will need another step forward to feature.

Form: 8735-2

Internationaldream³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 94

11/1

Dual winner last term and ended campaign with creditable third in listed race here in October. Improved further when third on handicap debut/reappearance at Pontefract. Each-way claims.

Muker¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 99| CD

11/1

Two wins last year and also placed at listed/Group 3 level. Made a sound return to action when fourth (Burning Cash second) in Nottingham conditions event but not quite so good at Hamilton since.

Form: 1312-44

Winter Power^t1²¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 109| D

5/1

Speedy filly who showed improved form to notch a fourth success in 11-runner Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (5f) by 3 lengths from Method on final 2020 start. Tongue tied on return. Big chance.

Dexter Belle³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan

11/2

Speedily-bred filly who made an eye-catching debut when mid-field here (7f) last year and duly built on that to make a winning return at Pontefract 37 days ago. Has scope for plenty more improvement.

Form: 7-1

Forecasts

Acklam Express (85/40), Winter Power (5/1), Dexter Belle (11/2), Atalis Bay (13/2), First Company (17/2), Burning Cash (10/1), Muker (11/1), Internationaldream (11/1), Never Say Never (100/1)

Nigel Tinkler's ACKLAM EXPRESS ran a cracker when finishing a close third in his first Group 1 at Meydan back in March, deserving extra credit considering he was more or less on his own in the last 2f. He looks set for another profitable campaign and gets the vote to take this listed contest. Dexter Belle heads the dangers after her demolition job at Pontefract last month, ahead of Winter Power.
