Fazayte¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Potter

100/1

Fair winning hurdler/chaser. Aided by testing conditions when runner-up on Flat debut in April and ran to a similar level under contrasting conditions when ninth of 11 at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm), not knocked about. Off 4 months. Up in trip

Form: 29

Atlantis Blue^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 78

10/3

Found only one too good for the sixth time in her career (and fourth start in succession) in 9-runner minor event at this C&D (10/3) 26 days ago. In the mix once again.

Form: 3422-22

(8)

Camarrate¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Grant Tuer

10/1

Showed ability when sixth of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) on debut 6 months ago. Big step forward required.

Form: 6

(5)

Hurtle Wallop

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J R Boyle

40/1

Le Havre gelding. Half-brother to useful 6f-7f winner Zero Carbon. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Market can guide expectations.

King Of The Pride¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Ferguson

80/1

Has looked limited in a couple of starts so far, latest when last of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 12 days ago.

Form: 66

(7)

Marzocco²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

15/8

14/1, showed ability despite seemingly found wanting for know-how late on when fifth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 25 days ago, hanging left entering final 1f. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5

(3)

Heavens To Betsy²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

7/4

9/2, shaped as if in need of the experience when fourth of 6 in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Open to improvement.

Form: 4

(4)

Highland Quartz⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: S C Williams

11/1

66/1, showed promise when fourth of 6 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good) on debut 6 weeks ago, best work finish. May well do better.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Heavens To Betsy (7/4), Marzocco (15/8), Atlantis Blue (10/3), Camarrate (10/1), Highland Quartz (11/1), Hurtle Wallop (40/1), King Of The Pride (80/1), Fazayte (100/1)

Atlantis Blue sets a decent standard to aim at but continues to find one too strong, so the suggestion is HEAVENS TO BETSY, who is bred to be smart and shaped as if in need of the experience when down the field on debut at Goodwood just over 3 weeks ago. Marzocco and Highland Quartz both hinted at ability first time up recently and should take a step forward.
