Percy's Pride¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 85| D

9/2

Won three times last year and wasn't disgraced in a listed event at Bath on her final outing. Needs to return with another career-best if she's to make a successful return, though.

Form: 147157-

Charging Thunder¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| D

7/1

Three-time winner last season but they were small-field events and he was found out in the Melrose at York on his final outing 6 months ago. Others look better treated.

Form: 310210-

In The Breeze²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| D

7/1

Scored at Newbury last July and was back on the up when runner-up in testing conditions at Leicester 6 months ago. Has left Roger Charlton since, but has joined another capable yard, so could improve further.

Form: 3/83102-

Emaraty Hero²¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 80| BF| D

9/4

Won his first two starts impressively last season then shaped as if still in form over 2m on both subsequent outings. Yet to reach his limit and return to this trip seems favourable, so strong claims.

Form: 84/1124-

Gustav Holst^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

7/2

Blinkers back on and better for return when a good second under a forceful ride at Windsor 12 days ago

Form: 3472-82

(5)

Shake A Leg^p⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 76| D

9/1

Fairly useful sort who is on a handy mark and bounced back at Newcastle 72 days ago. Should be thereabouts once more.

Form: 7442-42

(9)

Percy Willis^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 74| D

12/1

Likeable, reliable type who wasn't ideally placed when fourth at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Emaraty Hero (9/4), Gustav Holst (7/2), Percy's Pride (9/2), Charging Thunder (7/1), In The Breeze (7/1), Midrarr (8/1), Lunar Jet (8/1), Shake A Leg (9/1), Saratoga Gold (10/1), Percy Willis (12/1)

EMARATY HERO made an impressive winning reappearance last term and should be well suited by the drop back to 1m4f, so he makes most appeal having his first start for 7 months. Gustav Holst is the main threat after an excellent second at Windsor, and a case can be made for most of the remainder.
