Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: Raphael Freire| OR: 79| D

8/1

Fairly useful 2-y-o winner for Michael Bell in 2023 but not seen since. Betting perhaps the best guide after such a long lay-off.

The Thames Boatman^h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 74| D

7/2

All wins on AW but that is reflected in a much lower mark on turf. No surprise were he to go well.

Form: 76-2560

Phoenix Beach¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| D

10/1

Has got on a roll on AW lately, winning 3 of his last 4 starts (all 5f Wolverhampton). Has form on turf but he will require a career best to keep the winning run going.

Form: 66-1411

Connie's Rose^p,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: G Harris| OR: 70| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. Shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 9 on C&D reappearance 16 days ago.

So Smart^p,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 65| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 on C&D reappearance (good to firm) 16 days ago. Like stablemate Connie's Rose, he may come on for that outing.

Forecasts

Lil Guff (10/3), The Thames Boatman (7/2), Miss Show Off (9/2), Tan Rapido (6/1), Kiss And Run (13/2), Alexi Boy (8/1), Cloud King (8/1), Connie's Rose (17/2), So Smart (9/1), Phoenix Beach (10/1)

Although he was backed, CLOUD KING ran as if he'll be sharper for last month's Southwell reappearance and might be worth siding with in first-time cheekpieces under Tom Marquand. The Thames Boatman has done his winning on AW but has shown he can be competitive from this lower turf mark before and is feared most ahead of Tan Rapido
