2392m – Turf
1 | Wyclif | Won novice at York then second in Listed race last year but looks harshly handicapped and not certain to stay trip. |
2 | King’s Caper | Plenty of experience and improved through last year, winning three, but disappointing return this month. An unlikely winner. |
3 | Bright Melody | Won well on all-weather in January then promising third in G3 also on all-weather this month. Will improve and live chance. |
4 | Convict | Improved throughout 2019 and good performance when winning easily at Newmarket October. May be best on soft ground. Decent chance. |
5 | Subjectivist | Won a four runner race last year, from 7 appearances. Not run since October and balance of form not good enough. |
6 | Summeronsevenhills | Won twice at end of 2019 but a well beaten third on return 12 days ago. Looks badly handicapped and unlikely winner. |
7 | Hukum | Won novice in November over 1600m. Lacks recent run but should like longer distance and could be well handicapped. |
8 | To Nathaniel | Beat Punctuation over 2399m in January. Will stay trip well. Interesting. |
9 | Oleksander | Won two small races in autumn. Respectable return when fourth, behind Kipps and Glenties, 10 days ago. Needs to improve. |
10 | Bodyline | Promising return this month when second over 2021m, staying on. Interesting runner for shrewd trainer. |
11 | Glenties | Encouraging third when stepped up to 2038m 10 days ago and will appreciate the longer distance. A decent chance. |
12 | Trumpet Man | Modest maiden. Likely to improve but this likely to be too competitive for him. |
13 | Kipps | Won small race December and narrowly beaten on return 10 days ago, well ahead of Glenties and Oleksander. Looks well handicapped. Interesting. |
14 | Locked N’ Loaded | Improved during winter to win two small races but longer trip unlikely to suit and looks out of his depth. |
15 | Arthurian Fable | Improved on first run of year when just beaten over 2000m at Newmarket. Will like longer trip. |
16 | Group One Power | Won two small races last year but only fair on return this month, behind Bodyline. Needs to do much better. |
17 | Win O’Clock | Modest on all-weather during winter but won well over 2038m nine days ago and looks well handicapped. Interesting. |
18 | Berkshire Savvy | Won small race last year. Modest effort on return 10 days ago behind Glenties and Oleksander. Unappealing. |
