Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Appleby| OR: 108| D

13/2

Useful performer who turned in his best effort of the season when third of 5 to Alyanaabi in listed race at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Respected.

Form: 392-363

Jarraaf²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 106| BF| D

5/6

Highly progressive sort who won a pair of Ascot handicaps prior to an excellent second in Bengough Stakes (5/2) there (6f, good) on final outing. Off 7 months and should continue to go the right way this year.

Russet Gold¹⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 105

10/1

Smart geldin who ran well when third in an Ascot Group 3 in October. Ran poorly without an obvious excuse at Doncaster on final outing and needs to bounce back on reappearance.

Form: 042437-

(2)

Zoum Zoum¹⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 106| BF| D

9/2

Unbeaten as a juvenile and produced a smart performance when landing a 6f Doncaster handicap in October. Proved a disappointment in a listed event final outing but not ruled out if bouncing back on seasonal debut.

Form: 455316-

Adaay In Devon²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Searle| T: B R Millman| OR: 98| D

20/1

Useful filly who won twice in listed company last term and stepped up on reappearance event when fourth in 8-runner listed event at Newmarket (6f) 3 weeks ago. Needs more.

Form: 4266-74

(3)

Fair Angellica¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 103| D

11/1

Useful filly who got back on track from a below-par showing at Royal Ascot when landing a 7f Deauville listed event last July. Shaped as if better for the run back from 6 months off at Wolverhampton in March and not disgraced despite finishing last of 6 in Lingfield listed event since.

Form: 1014-56

(8)

Jouncy³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 98| D

25/1

Strong at the finish when landing 6f Goodwood maiden last summer and left lesser effort behind equipped with a visor when second in Kempton Group 3 in September. Soft ground a plausible excuse in Group 1 on final start lat year but again ran below form at Chelmsford on reappearance. Bit to prove.

Forecasts

Jarraaf (5/6), Jasour (5/2), Zoum Zoum (9/2), Annaf (13/2), Russet Gold (10/1), Fair Angellica (11/1), Adaay In Devon (20/1), Jouncy (25/1)

JASOUR ran poorly on his final start last season but has since had a breathing operation and, having run out a ready winner of the Pavillion Stakes at Ascot on his 2024 reappearance, there's every reason to believe he can bounce back with a bang. Jarraaf progressed well in 2024 and should continue on an upward trajectory this year. Zoum Zoum is another who can make his presence felt if returning to form on his seasonal debut.
