28/1

Unreliable type. C&D winner. 12 lengths ninth of 10 to Siskany in listed race at this course (14f, good, 33/1) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

3/1

Good 5 lengths sixth of 10 to Siskany in listed race (14/1) at this course (14f, good) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip. Enters calculations.

10/3

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 49 days ago. Booking of Barzalona a plus. Not taken lightly.

Form: 0353-98

(7)

Kahraman²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: R Ffrench| T: N Caullery| D

25/1

12/1, first run since leaving Alicja Karkosa when below form 8 lengths eighth of 15 to Webinar in handicap at this C&D (good) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 16855-8

Forecasts

Ruling Dynasty (2/1), Scottish Anthem (3/1), Al Nafir (10/3), Webinar (5/1), Tides Of War (16/1), Military March (16/1), Kahraman (25/1), Global Heat (28/1)

SCOTTISH ANTHEM will be suited by the return to this trip and marginally gets the nod. Al Nafir shouldn't be too far away either, while Tides of War edges it so far as third place is concerned.
