Muraad³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 100| D

14/1

Dark Angel gelding who posted a career best when doubling career tally at Goodwood (9f) in August. Well held at listed level on return (effectively used as a pacemaker) but this rates more suitable.

Form: 8/2219-9

Fox Duty Free^b1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98

16/1

Put it all together to rattle off a hat-trick at Lingfield over the winter and possible he found very testing ground against him when finishing seventh of 8 at Thirsk (7f) last month. Blinkered now.

Form: R111-87

Hortzadar³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D O'Meara| OR: 96| D

12/1

Dual 1m winner last term who returned better than ever when third of 18 in Lincoln at Doncaster in March. Underperformed in Thirsk Hunt Cup on latest start in May but bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 190-360

(8)

Irish Admiral²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 96| D

11/8

Low-mileage 4-y-o who doubled career tally on yard debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in April and ran well when third on handicap bow at York (10f) since, no extra final 100 yds. Big player back in trip.

Form: 13-13

(1)

Plantadream²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: J R Best| OR: 90

20/1

Successful 3 times at 1m last year and competitive from higher marks in defeat on turf/AW thereafter. Well held on return at Newbury (1m) in May but the assessor is relinquishing his grip.

Form: 25224-0

Storting³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: James Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 89

4/1

Well held sole start last summer but returned in good form this time around, building on his Newbury return to land Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) last month. 5 lb higher now but another good showing likely.

Form: 126/8-61

(5)

Mostawaa²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: H Main| OR: 89

13/2

Held his form really well in 2020, making all in 1m handicaps at Haydock and Kempton, and he has recorded a trio of in-the-frame efforts so far this spring. Another who can't be ruled out.

Form: 351-324

(9)

Overwrite¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87

22/1

Kept really busy this spring, resuming winning ways narrowly at Newmarket (1m) in April. Exploits have been mixed since, well held at Musselburgh (9f) latest and others appeal more.

Form: 213977

Corazon Espinado⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dow| OR: 84| CD

12/1

Multiple course winner who regained winning thread at Lingfield (7f) in January and back to that sort of form when runner-up at that venue in April. Mark looks about right, however.

Form: 147752

Mythical Madness^p³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

66/1

Successful twice on turf upon rejoining present stable last summer but form has proved to be up and down since the turn of the year, last of 9 at Yarmouth (1m) on Tuesday. This much tougher.

A winner on yard debut at Wolverhampton in April, IRISH ADMIRAL shaped with abundant promise when third in a competitive York handicap (10f) last month, travelling best before the trip seemingly caught him out. The drop back to 1m looks an obvious plus and he's fancied to make a bold bid with better still expected. Thirsk Hunt Cup winner Storting and the consistent Mostawaa head up the dangers.
