10/1

Well-bred filly (from family of Inspiral) who hinted at ability in 3 quick runs last season. Took a small step forward sent handicapping over a longer trip when fifth of 7 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 40 days ago and may do better still with that under her belt. Back down in distance.

Form: 069-5

9/2

Improved over 1f longer trip when second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 68 days ago, though took plenty of stoking up and was never a threat to the winner. Form has been boosted since and big shout off same mark.

Form: 954-732

Nelson Rose^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: A West| OR: 58

Garden View²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56

7/1

Very good second of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford (7f) but below par switched to turf at Bath 3 weeks ago. Worth another chance back on AW.

Form: 77-0528

Forecasts

Never Mind Me (2/1), Gultari (11/4), Sergeants Legacy (7/2), Salaamaat (9/2), Garden View (7/1), Orbital (10/1), Battleofbaltimore (12/1), Nelson Rose (20/1), Soveraine (20/1), Tea Leaf Ted (20/1)

SALAAMAAT showed improved form stepped up to this trip when splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Wolverhampton in March so can go one better off the same mark. Sergeants Legacy made a positive start to life in handicaps when second at Kempton and rates the main threat ahead of Garden View, who's worth another chance back on AW.
