Gaassee^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| D

8/13

Improved on debut form in a first-time tongue strap to get off the mark in good style in 7-runner novice event at Chester (10.3f, heavy) 37 days ago. Can go on improving and defy a penalty.

Form: 31

(4)

Khilwafy¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D Thompson

150/1

Modest in bumpers and could run to only a similar level on Flat debut here 2 weeks ago.

Form: 5

Gooner Boy^p¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Alice Haynes

50/1

Showed a bit on debut at Kempton but went backwards 4 months on at Doncaster. Off 129 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden.

Form: 69

Hathlool¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby

9/1

Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise when eleventh of 18 in 12f maiden at Leopardstown. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Prendergast. Remains with potential.

Form: 60

Jordan Solar^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans

300/1

Tailed off on belated Flat debut here 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 9

New Force²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: H Palmer

11/2

Offered something to work on when third of 10 in 11f novice event at Kempton (11f, 12/1) on debut 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Should have more to offer.

Form: 3

(2)

Toromona^b1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Winston| T: C Appleby| OR: 82| BF

3/1

Looked a hard ride in first-time cheekpieces when 12 lengths second of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Blinkers on for 1st time. Good claims on previous form.

Form: 22-2

Forecasts

Gaassee (8/13), Toromona (3/1), New Force (11/2), Hathlool (9/1), Gooner Boy (50/1), Quiet Pride (66/1), Khilwafy (150/1), Jordan Solar (300/1)

GAASSEE powered clear to score in emphatic fashion at Chester last month and looks capable of defying a penalty on that evidence. Toromona looked a hard ride on his return at Wolverhampton but his previous form entitles him to respect. New Force should improve on his opening effort at Kempton and is not discounted, either.
