(13)

Screaming Eagle¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Should benefit from the step up in trip, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 92-36

(11)

Alrazeen⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 78

12/1

Won a couple of novices on AW earlier this year and wasn't seen to best effect when third at Newcastle on handicap debut a couple of months ago. More to offer on turf debut.

Form: 4-113

(6)

Caelan⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 78

7/1

Winner on debut at Kempton in August and returned to the AW, he doubled his tally back from 5 months off (well backed) at Wolverhampton in February. Creditable third at Doncaster since but others have more potential.

Form: 145-13

(8)

Alhattan³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 78| BF

9/2

Debut 1m winner at Newcastle in January and, while yet to fully build on it, she shaped better than the result in a muddling affair when third of 5 at Southwell on handicap debut. This should be more to her liking.

Form: 123

(5)

Rebaatt²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76

15/2

Much better for debut when fifth of 13 in novice event at Kempton last year and entitled to strip fitter for his respectable return at Southwell. Likely improver now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 85-6

(4)

Alpen Power⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 76

11/1

Still not fully exposed and shaped well when back to form at Newcastle 6 days ago, doing well to get as close as he did from a poor position. Can get involved under a more positive ride.

Form: 631-362

(3)

Francesco Baracca²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 76

11/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing a Yarmouth maiden in September. However, found it tougher when twelfth of 16 in minor event at York (7f, heavy, 33/1) the following month. Needs to get back on the up sent handicapping here following a 7-month break.

Form: 210-

(10)

Cloud Free¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: M L W Bell| OR: 75

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden who arrives on the back of a lesser effort at Yarmouth a fortnight ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 26-248

(1)

Prometeo²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Botti| OR: 73| D

9/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 25 days ago, cosily. Going the right way now and deserves respect for all that this is more competitive.

Form: 3222-71

(12)

Blue Collar²⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 73| BF

16/1

Still unexposed and had some excuses towards the end of last season. Gelded and no surprise if he makes up into a better 3-y-o and longer trip should be no issue.

Form: 76406-

(7)

Whathappensinvegas²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

25/1

Seemed to improve when 9¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Legend of Time in listed race (80/1) at Meydan (9f, good) on penultimate outing but, having rejoined his former yard, offered little back in handicap company at Epsom last time. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 84-5857

(9)

Magnificent Match¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 63

20/1

Winner at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in April. 16/5, creditable second of 9 back there shortly after and probably unsuited by the ground at Windsor since, so he's one to keep in mind.

Form: 56-6125

Prometeo (9/2), Alhattan (9/2), Screaming Eagle (11/2), Caelan (7/1), Rebaatt (15/2), Alpen Power (11/1), Francesco Baracca (11/1), Alrazeen (12/1), Tipsy Tiger (14/1), Blue Collar (16/1), Cloud Free (20/1), Magnificent Match (20/1), Whathappensinvegas (25/1)

ALHATTAN created a good impression when making a winning debut and has shaped better than the result on both subsequent outings, so she's worth a chance to double her tally with the longer trip sure to suit. Rebaatt is a likely improver on his first go in a handicap and Alpen Power can't be dismissed.
