Iolani^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 85

20/1

Won a bumper at the start of his career and landed a Flat maiden at Gowran Park in September. Has been in no sort of form over hurdles for this yard but respected returned to the Flat and has race fitness on his side.

Form: 14-

Titus⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 87

5/1

Winner on debut at Leopardstown on debut but unplaced on four subsequent starts. Showed nothing on debut for this yard at Doncaster last time but hard to fancy at present.

Form: 1/555-0

Alwaysandforever²⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: L M Cumani| D

7/4

Runner-up to a smart filly on debut at Leicester and didn't need to improve to win a match-race at long odds-on last time at Brighton. Hard to know what that form is worth but form of her previous effort is strong and not without claims.

Form: 2/1-

(7)

Forbidding^v1³⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

20/1

Ran well in a couple of bumpers before he was well beaten at Aintree when last seen nearly a year ago. Bred for Flat racing so may do better in this sphere but hard to fancu in this field. Wears a first-time visor.

Kindler³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: J Ewart

66/1

Well beaten on all four starts and he's been reluctant to leave the stalls on his last couple of runs. Risky betting proposition at present.

Form: 966

Penistone^t³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: J D Bethell

25/1

Well beaten at Southwell in March but produced a better effort despite a slow start at Newcastle later that month. Has a fair amount to find on form.

Form: 64

Saroog²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: S & E Crisford

1/1

Showed promise in both his maiden starts and not beaten far at Wolverhampton when last seen by a very smart sort. That's the best form any of these bring in and he will be hard to beat with a reproduction of that effort.

Form: 34-2

Haafaprincess¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: P D Niven

100/1

Tailed off in a bumper and well beaten on flat debut last month. May do better when sent handicapping.

Forecasts

Saroog (1/1), Alwaysandforever (7/4), Titus (5/1), Sketching (10/1), Forbidding (20/1), Iolani (20/1), Penistone (25/1), Kindler (66/1), Haafaprincess (100/1)

SAROOG is hard to beat on the form that saw him finish runner-up to Count Octave last time out and the booking of Franny Norton should be seen as a positive. Alwaysandforever was less than a length behind Coronet on debut and can't be ruled out while Iolani is ruled out if a return to the Flat sparks a revival.
