Quian^p¹³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: S W Kelly| T: T Gallagher| OR: 84| D

50/1

Smart in his prime and still capable of useful form in France last year. However, virtually refused to race at Doncaster in April and finished a well-held last of 5 at Les Landes on latest appearance, so has a fair bit to prove back from a break.

Form: 759-605

(3)

Prince Alex³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 84| CD

11/4

Six wins from 20 Flat runs. Best effort of the season on his first outing since leaving Tom Dascombe when third in 6-runner handicap at Goodwood (14f, heavy) 35 days ago. Player if building on that.

Form: 9/9-4463

(2)

Merveillo^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 83

18/1

Useful performer at best on Flat but achieved just poor form over jumps and was below his best back in this sphere at Goodwood 25 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 153/46-8

(6)

Dark Jedi^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82

9/4

Not the force of old but his mark reflects that and he's threatening to come good soon, taking a step back in the right direction when fourth at York (11.8f, soft) last week. Of major interest.

Form: 548584

(4)

De Vega's Warrior^p,t⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Appleby| OR: 71

3/1

Still a maiden but mostly creditable efforts in handicaps this term and will have no problem with conditions. Player.

Form: 022748

(1)

Cool Party^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 74

10/3

Dual winner last year but hasn't really fired this season, though can have his latest run over C&D overlooked having been denied run on inner 2f out.

Form: 504385

Forecasts

Dark Jedi (9/4), Prince Alex (11/4), De Vega's Warrior (3/1), Cool Party (10/3), Merveillo (18/1), Quian (50/1)

DARK JEDI goes well in the mud and hinted he's ready to cash in on his much-reduced mark at York last week, so he earns the vote. De Vega's Warrior is feared most ahead of Prince Alex.
