Thunder Moor^p,t1⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 94| D

13/2

Useful operator who has improved to make all on his last two starts in Bahrain. BHA handicapper has reacted but he's no doubt of interest returning to Britain off a 3-month break with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 1050-11

(1)

Lir Speciale^t1²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 92

14/1

Useful sort who looked back in form when a staying-on fourth at Chelmsford 8 months ago. Left Roger Varian since and new yard applies tongue strap down in trip.

Form: 1/10094-

(8)

Isle Of Lismore¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 89| D

4/1

Winner at on the July course last summer and better than ever when scoring at Ascot last time. Looks to be in the form of his life, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 219-331

(3)

Ready Freddie Go^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 88| D

16/1

Wasn't firing on all cylinders towards the end of last year and looked badly in need of the run at Thirsk on return. Likely to need this, too.

Form: 31388-0

(7)

Pepsi Cat^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 87| D

10/3

Fairly useful and likeable mare who doubled her tally for the year at Newcastle in March and acquitted herself well in listed company at Bath since. Should give another good account.

Form: 1-13315

(4)

Glamorous Breeze^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox| T: C Mason| OR: 86| D

3/1

Better than ever last season, landing a third success of the campaign when scoring at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) in September. Better for return when third at Ascot last time and should be on the premises again.

Form: 1316-73

(2)

Harry Brown¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 84| D

9/2

Consistent performer who produced a rare poor effort at Goodwood last time but should be back on his game returned to a more realistic grade of handicap.

Form: 808-245

Spoof¹⁰

Weight: 9-5| Age: 9

T: K Frost J: Rossa Ryan

(9)

Prince Of Pillo³³

Weight: 9-1| Age: 4

Forecasts

Glamorous Breeze (3/1), Pepsi Cat (10/3), Isle Of Lismore (4/1), Harry Brown (9/2), Thunder Moor (13/2), Prince Of Pillo (8/1), Lir Speciale (14/1), Ready Freddie Go (16/1), Spoof (16/1)

ISLE OF LISMORE is thriving at the age of 6 and boasts leading claims after producing a career-best effort to score at Ascot earlier in the month. Thunder Moor is a big player returning from Bahrain on a hat-trick and Glamorous Breeze can get involved once more.
