17:02 – Sarahs Verse

Course winner SARAHS VERSE looks sure to go well again after competitive efforts at Ascot and Yarmouth. Symbol Of Hope brings solid claims and The Princes Poet should also be involved if getting away on terms this time.

17:35 – Rogue Rosie

Kandoo looks sure to be in the thick of it but slight preference is for ROGUE ROSIE who gave it a good shot at Nottingham against one with form in better company and should have an ordinary maiden in her. Sparklight is respected on her turf debut while Eyes Closed and Emirates Angel are entitled to improve for their recent debuts. Tara Atacama is a likely looking newcomer.

 

18:10 – Gherkin

Apache Star (second choice) has been in good form over same course and distance  (C&D) in his last two starts and should make another bold bid. Under Curfew went close at Brighton last week and has claims if he can back that up, while Lilkian and Savalas also enter the reckoning. However, the vote goes to GHERKIN, who returned to form with a strong-finishing second over 5f here last time and that was behind a rival who followed up under a penalty four days later.

18:40 – Sergeant Pep (NAP)

A few of these would have something to prove if the going softens further, but not SERGEANT PEP (NAP) who was suited by the return to 5f when winning on soft ground at Windsor last time. He is 5lb higher now but remains unexposed at the trip and is taken to follow up. Fierce needed a return to maiden company in order to get off the mark last time but he was competitive off similar marks in handicaps before that and he too would have no issue with softening ground.

19:10 – Dirham Emirati

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to the resurgent five year old DIRHAM EMIRATI, who has battled on well to win in headgear here in his last two runs and remains very well treated on his old form. The other hat-trick seeker This Ones For Fred is feared most ahead of Smokey Malone and last month’s Chepstow scorer Zillion. Another interesting contender is the lightly raced 4yo Gautrey, who was an eyecatching second here last time and is open to more progress at this new trip.

 

19:40 – Beggarman

Preference is for BEGGARMAN, who bounced back with a near miss over 1m6f here last time and has leading claims if he can repeat that form. Alan King’s Lunar Shadow is feared most on her return to the Flat, although Nevendon has finished runner-up here in his last two starts and is respected on his step back up in trip. Another to consider is Systemic, who showed signs of a revival behind two progressive three year olds at Salisbury last week.

20:10 – Loddon

Ed Walker’s LODDON raced freely when runner-up at Sandown and the addition of a hood looks a good move. The Dubawi colt Dubai Dreamer should be capable of better now sent into handicaps and he’s second choice ahead of Rival.
