Selected odds by:

(3)

Eagle Springs^v1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 70

12/1

Promise in his qualifying runs last year. Remote second in match on Southwell handicap debut/reappearance but retains potential now returning to turf for in-form stable. Visor added.

Form: 765-2

(10)

Olympic Theatre³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 70

9/2

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 33 days ago. Bit more needed if he's to gain a first success here.

Form: 3424-25

(6)

Hollywood Lady³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70

7/2

Left her AW efforts behind when narrowly denied in 1¼m Newbury maiden a month ago. Opening mark of 70 looks workable. Big player.

Form: 552

(7)

Prey For Glory^v1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: J Ferguson| OR: 68

7/1

Third on all 3 starts in handicaps this spring. Will need to pull out a bit more for a first-time visor if he's to get off the mark here.

Form: 36-7333

(2)

Pride Of Nepal²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: H Morrison| OR: 68

9/1

Showed definite ability in 3 runs last autumn. Likely improver in handicaps over longer trip. Yard had easy winner of similar race at Newbury on Friday so market support confidence significant.

Form: 874-

(4)

Marsden Cross²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 67

9/2

Best run when fourth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good to firm) 27 days ago. Extra yardage here ought to be in his favour. Remains unexposed.

Form: 7434

(11)

Way Of Life^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: J G Portman| OR: 66

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (1¼m, good) 16 days ago, never a threat after slow start. Blinkers need to help him pull out more.

Form: 6-4557

(9)

Where You At^p1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 65

10/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to soft, 14/1) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 4233-53

(12)

Dark Motive¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R M Beckett| OR: 63

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 10 in nursery (40/1) at Kempton (1m) when last seen in November. Up significantly in trip. Hollywood Lady looks stable first sting unless betting hints otherwise.

Form: 350-

(5)

Mustang Kodi^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: R A Teal| OR: 62

17/2

Fair form. Good 3 lengths third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Another who could have a say.

Form: 675-43

Forecasts

Hollywood Lady (7/2), Olympic Theatre (9/2), Marsden Cross (9/2), Prey For Glory (7/1), Mustang Kodi (17/2), Pride Of Nepal (9/1), Where You At (10/1), Eagles Dare (10/1), Eagle Springs (12/1), Way Of Life (14/1), Dreams Unwind (14/1), Dark Motive (20/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (33/1)

HOLLYWOOD LADY could have more to come on the back of her close second in a Newbury maiden last time and can make light of an opening mark of 70. The Hughie Morrison yard had one easily win a 3-y-o handicap over this sort of trip at Newbury on Friday so a market move for Pride of Nepal could prove significant. Marsden Cross and Mustang Kodi are also on the shortlist.
