Blakey Bear³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: L P Keniry| T: N P Mulholland

250/1

No show in novice/maiden hurdles. Last of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on flat debut 38 days ago, slowly away. Can't be fancied.

Form: 0

(7)

Raqraaq²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings

5/1

Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, improved when fourth of 9 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago. A repeat of that effort would put him in the mix here.

Form: 74

(1)

Tarrabb²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: Owen Burrows| D

1/3

Promising type. 10/1, had bit in hand and looked potentially useful prospect when won 11-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 22 days ago. Likely to improve and highly respected.

Form: 1

(5)

High And Wide

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne

125/1

£35,000 yearling, £3,200 3-y-o, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Harlequin Storm and 7f/1m winner Oloroso. Dam, Spanish 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 7.5f-1½m winner Pardus. Not an obvious type on paper.

Trailblazer¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: W Muir & C Grassick

16/1

Made quite a late first appearance for one with his pedigree, green when seventh of 14 in minor event (100/1) at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 14 days ago. Needs to step up on that.

Form: 7

(2)

Virtuoso⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

25/1

Twice-raced maiden. Improved from debut when sixth of 10 in minor event (18/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Place claims for leading yard.

Form: 6-6

(6)

White Umbrella¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

9/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, still green when seventh of 13 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better.

Form: 97

Forecasts

Tarrabb (1/3), Raqraaq (5/1), White Umbrella (9/1), Trailblazer (16/1), Virtuoso (25/1), High And Wide (125/1), Blakey Bear (250/1)

This should be straightforward enough for Chelmsford-winner TARRABB, who looked potentially useful on debut and should have enough in her locker to defy a penalty here. Raqraaq shaped well at Windsor last time and can pose the biggest threat, whilst White Umbrella likely has better to come.
