1. Ghost Rider | Successful twice at 7f on the all-weather (1 FB). Third of 5 behind Possible Man beaten 6l at 11-2 on his latest outing here over 1m 2f in April. He is wearing a visor for the first time. |
2. Midrarr | Returns from six week let-up. Could find the front in a race with no obvious leader and placed when fresh. Appears tested. |
3. Benadalid | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m 4f including a win on the all-weather. Finished 10l behind Brilliant Light when sixth of 8 at 10-3 on his latest outing at Ripon over 1m 2f (good to firm) last month. |
4. Arabian Warrior | Ran 14 lengths back from the winner last start at Sandown. May find the front early with no other obvious contenders and placed when fresh. Solid claims. |
5. King Of Unicorns | Ran fifth last start at Ripon. Could find the front in a race with no obvious leader and has two placings from four runs this prep. Sneaky chance. |
6. The Nu Form Way | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Haydock when first up. May find the front early with no other obvious contenders and won at Doncaster in only second-up attempt. Each-way claims. |
7. Manjaam | Winner of seven races from 1m to 2m including 4 wins on the all-weather (1 PO); has also won a NH flat race. Finished 2 1/2l behind Khilwafy when fourth of 9 at 22-1 on his latest outing here over 2m in January. |
8. Lopes Dancer | Has won nine races from 1m 2f to 1m 6f including 8 wins on the all-weather. A winner at 9-4 at Wolverhampton over 1m 4f on his latest outing in April, beating Deep Sigh by 1/2l. Has won twice at Wolverhampton this season. |
9. Brancaster | He has won three times at 1m 4f including a win on the all-weather. Third of 8 behind Sagauteur beaten 2 1/2l at 28-1 on his latest outing at York over 1m 2f (good) earlier this month. |
