Euphonia 22 days

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Form: -85611 D

OR: 75

W: 9st 9lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Record on the AW reads 58856 but she took her record on turf to 411 with convincing wins at Leicester (7f, good) and Haydock (7f, soft); up another 10lb in her hat-trick bid, but the limit of her progress is still to be established.

Lohoobb 17 days

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Owen Burrows

Form: 024-52 BF

OR: 75

W: 9st 9lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Beaten favourite for both handicaps, though he was rather stuck out on a limb when second of seven at Lingfield (7f, good) last time; one for the shortlist.

Dark Sovereign 25 days

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Form: 45-3

OR: 74

W: 9st 8lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Similar level of form in three starts over 7f on turf; needs to step up now switched to a handicap, but that is entirely possible.

Enamorus 14 days

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Hugo Palmer

Form: 323-5 BF

OR: 74

W: 9st 8lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Placed in all three starts over 6f/7f on turf last year, but proved a disappointing favourite on her reappearance/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; possible the run was needed after 258 days off, but she will need to step up considerably.

5 (9)

Kilkenny Warrior 32 days

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Richard Hughes

Form: 11-736 D

OR: 74

W: 9st 8lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Won his first two nurseries on the AW (6f/7f) last autumn, but the handicapper has been in charge since; still 6lb above her last winning mark and has a bit to prove back on turf with cheekpieces fitted.

Kimbara 43 days

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Richard Spencer

Form: 446

OR: 72

W: 9st 6lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Best of three efforts in the spring when fourth of eight in a Newmarket maiden (7f, good) on penultimate outing; didn't stay 1m last time; could take a step forward now switched to a handicap.

Starryfield 36 days

J: Tom Marquand

T: James Owen

Form: 22-373 BF

OR: 72

W: 9st 6lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Promising in his first three starts, but twice held since being gelded and was a particularly disappointing favourite in a Windsor maiden (6f, good to firm) last month; needs a resurgence.

8 (3)

Ecclefechan 20 days

J: Darragh Keenan

T: John Ryan

Form: 2-5549

OR: 72

W: 9st 6lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Has twice come within a neck of winning, but his latest Windsor effort (6f, good to firm) not amongst his best and is now 0-11; first-time visor needs to make a difference.

9 (5)

Southern Warrior 28 days

J: Liam Wright

T: Olly Williams

Form: -54135

OR: 69

W: 9st 3lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) for George Scott in March; held on turf/stable debut at Newmarket (6f, good) last month, but the step up to 7f may suit him; could sneak into the frame.

Lion Of Mali 22 days

J: David Egan

T: James Fanshawe

Form: -11215 DBF

OR: 69

W: 9st 3lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Record in his first five handicaps read 21121, but finished over 7l behind Euphonia at Haydock (7f, soft) last month; may have found the ground too testing and now 10lb better off, but he still has work to do.

11 (4)

Robert Anstruther 20 days

J: Nicola Currie

T: Henry Candy

Form: 547-47

OR: 69

W: 9st 3lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Has hinted at ability despite finishing unplaced in six starts; needs to find a bit more if he is to break his duck.

12 (11)

Galba 20 days

J: Pat Dobbs

T: Richard Hannon

Form: 3-736

OR: 69

W: 9st 3lb

Age: 3 yo Colt

Form

Best effort when third of seven in a Leicester novice (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't appear to stay on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) a fortnight later; frame possibilities back over this trip.

Betting Forecast

100/30 Euphonia, 3/1 Lohoobb, 15/2 Dark Sovereign, 13/2 Enamorus, 14/1 Kilkenny Warrior, 8/1 Kimbara, 14/1 Starryfield, 25/1 Ecclefechan, 50/1 Southern Warrior, 7/1 Lion Of Mali, 14/1 Robert Anstruther, 25/1 Galba

Verdict

Nothing comes into this in better form than EUPHONIA (nap) and she is taken to complete the hat-trick despite another hike in the weights. Lion Of Mali should finish a bit closer to the selection on 10lb better terms than at Haydock last time, but a bigger danger may be Lohoobb who didn’t enjoy the ideal route when runner-up at Lingfield last time. Southern Warrior, Galba and handicap newcomers Dark Sovereign and Kimbara look the pick of the rest.[David Bellingham]
