Bedford Flyer^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 97| D

14/1

Bagged 3 nurseries in 2020 and impressed when burning up the Knavesmire in 5f handicap last month under this rider, drawing clear from Nomadic Empire. Respected again up 7 lb.

Form: 311-421

(21)

First Company³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 97

22/1

Returned with a fine run in 5f Chester handicap but not so good in York listed event next time and some effort required to break his duck in race like this.

Form: 8735-24

(4)

Hala Hala Hala^p1,t⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: K A Ryan| OR: 95

66/1

Debut winner who advanced her form when second in the Princess Margaret here last summer. Not so good on return though, and cheekpieces added to tongue tie for this handicap bow. Hard to fancy.

Form: 15209-6

(13)

Warrior Brave^b1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby| OR: 93| D

13/2

Another big improver for new connections, winning 3 times and running a blinder in listed race at Sandown under this rider on Saturday. 7 lb well-in on that effort and blinkers now go on. Big player.

Form: 12-1512

(22)

Boomshalaa¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 93

9/2

Much improved with victories in 6f novice events this year, defying a penalty with more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Windsor. Drop to 5f will suit on handicap debut and leading claims.

Form: 5-11

(24)

Significantly⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 92

10/1

Has had plenty of racing but is holding his form well, runner-up the last twice, with his Newmarket effort reading really well. First go in a big-field scenario like this and makes some appeal.

Form: 231-622

(11)

Rebel At Dawn^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 91| D

28/1

Another useful sprinter thriving on his racing, winning at Nottingham before a narrow defeat at Chester on Saturday. Same mark but this is clearly a whole lot tougher.

Form: 7-37312

(7)

Popmaster⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 90| BF

14/1

Bagged a brace of Kempton novice events last autumn and useful form with 3 narrow defeats in handicaps this term. Has been gelded and suspect he has a bigger effort in him faced with this scenario.

Form: 11-322

(1)

Dense Star^p1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 90

100/1

Maiden winner over 5.7f in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien last summer. Not troubled the judged in listed events for new yard and work to do on handicap debut fitted with headgear now.

Form: 774-349

(12)

Mo Celita²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 90| D

4/1

Unbeaten in 5 runs since joining yard, taking another step forward with dominant display from the front at Haydock (6f) 3 weeks ago. Since snapped up by powerful owners and dangerous to dismiss again.

Form: 611111

(19)

Equality⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 88| D

22/1

Improved further when opening account in 5f Wolverhampton novice 8 weeks ago, quickening clear impressively. Likely has plenty more to offer now handicapping and strong claims.

Form: 4-21

(23)

Dream Composer⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 82| D

13/2

Has improved in handicaps this year, following up first win at Carlisle with victory at Kempton (6f) under this rider last week. This is a whole lot tougher under a penalty back over a bare 5f.

Form: 53-3211

(14)

Desert Gulf²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W J Knight| OR: 84

22/1

Debut winner at Wolverhampton (6f) last September and back on track with narrow defeat on handicap debut at Lingfield last month. Doesn't leave the impression this drop to 5f will suit on turf debut.

Form: 14-36

(9)

Hey Mr²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 82| BF| D

22/1

Won small-field 5f Nottingham nursery last autumn and good run when favourite behind Bedford Flyer and Nomadic Empire on return at York. Excuses at Carlisle since but needs a huge effort here.

Form: 3321-36

(10)

Shalaa Asker³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Keatley| OR: 80| D

25/1

Won 5f Chelmsford novice in September. A couple of decent runs in 5f handicaps in April but not so good at Newmarket last time, albeit over 6f. Stiff task.

Form: 2-42358

(5)

Wings Of A Dove⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 80

80/1

Maiden who has been rather highly tried for the most part, not beaten far in Bath listed race on return. Makes handicap debut now. Well beaten in last year's Queen Mary.

Form: 79284-5

(18)

Baba Reza^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: M Moubarak| OR: 79

80/1

Dual winner on AW at up to 7f and ran well at Lingfield last time. Stiff task on first go over 5f back on turf (well beaten only other run on it on debut) here.

Form: 12-4614

(20)

Fantasy Master¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| D

16/1

Won twice over 5f at Nottingham at 2 yrs. Back on track under this rider behind Rebel At Dawn there last time but this is a whole different ball game.

Form: 114-204

(25)

Cooperation¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

33/1

Off the mark after gelding operation in 6f Hamilton event a fortnight ago. Drops back to 5f (well beaten in last year's Norfolk) contesting a much stronger race now and hard to fancy.

Form: 025-221

BOOMSHALAA has looked a smart sprinter in the making with 2 impressive victories this year. The drop to 5f here will suit and his stay in handicaps could be a short one. Warrior Brave is 7 lb well-in for his second in a listed contest at Sandown at the weekend under De Sousa and he's an obvious player. Equality, Popmaster and Get It are among the other key players in a red-hot contest.
