Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P D Evans| OR: 57| D

9/4

3 wins from 14 runs this year. 8/1, career best when easily winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 5 days ago, leading final 1f without having to come off the bridle. Carries penalty. The one to beat back on turf provided this doesn't come too soon.

20/1

Scored at Lingfield back in January (by 1¼ lengths from reopposing Midgetonamission). 12/1 and retried in headgear back on turf, fifth of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 26 days ago, plugging on. More needed.

8/1

Ran well back on all-weather when fourth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 22 days ago, leading until over 1f out. Can give another good account.

Wonderful Thing¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: M Appleby| OR: 54

5/2

Much improved when winning 11-runner handicap (11/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good) 15 days ago, rallying to lead again late after headed over 1f out. Back up in trip and raised 4 lb for that success, he's fancied to be in the mix again.

Rodolfo⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C F Wall| OR: 53

11/4

10/3, ran his best race yet despite leaving the impression he was stretched by the longer trip when third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 57 days ago, unable to sustain Place claims.

Form: 868-83

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S Whitaker| OR: 52

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, failed to improve when ninth of 11 on handicap debut at Haydock (10.2f, good) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Best watched.

Midgetonamission (9/4), Wonderful Thing (5/2), Rodolfo (11/4), Malcolm (8/1), Tiberio Force (10/1), Come To Pass (16/1), Vaxholm (20/1)

MIDGETONAMISSION was by far and away the most impressive winner of the evening at Lingfield last Saturday, not having to come off the bridle to record a facile 4-length success. Wisely turned out under a penalty, she should take some stopping. Mick Appleby's Wonderful Thing was much improved switched to front-running tactics when scoring at Leicester last month so he heads up the opposition, with Rodolfo completing the shortlist.
