Forecast:

1.00 SYSTEMIC; 3.00 MADEEH; 5.50 ALBORKAN (FR); 7.00 SHARP SUITED; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

SHARP SUITED didn't quite appear to get home on his handicap debut over 1m6f when fourth at Wolverhampton on his latest start. However, the drop back in distance is certainly in his favour and he remains unexposed on the level. Systemic bounced back from a poor effort when scoring impressively over C&D last month and he commands the utmost respect along with Madeeh.

Forecast:

0.50 SKULK; 2.50 SHERBET LEMON (USA); 10.00 TARNEEMAT; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

SKULK clearly benefited from her debut effort at Lingfield when getting off the mark at the same course last month and the daughter of Kingman has been found an excellent opportunity to make it two on the bounce. Sherbet Lemon could offer the most resistance on her debut as she comes from a decent family, being a half-sister to Melbourne Cup third Il Paradiso, while Tarneemat appears best of the remainder on what she has achieved in two starts to date.

Forecast:

Preview:

DUTCH DECOY went up 4lb for his recent success at Chelmsford when benefiting from the drop back to 7f and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to oppose. Ulshaw Bridge finished third on his latest outing at the course and he is entitled to be in the mix off the same mark, while Anif and Tadleel are others capable of going close.

2.00 OUTRAGE; 3.50 KIND REVIEW; 5.00 BE PROUD (IRE); EL HOMBRE; 10.00 NORTH WIND (IRE); TATHMEEN (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Kind Review performed creditably in defeat when third over 6f here last week and is worth another try over this shorter trip as he bids to defy an unchanged mark. El Hombre has been eased 1lb for finishing fourth over C&D last time and has viable place claims in this grade, though preferred ahead of both is OUTRAGE, a four-time course winner who has only been put up 1lb for a narrow victory at Lingfield last month.

Preview:

I Know How has been raised 3lb for striking over track and trip three weeks ago and is expected to mount another bold bid, though narrow preference is for NICK VEDDER, who rattled the crossbar over this trip at Southwell earlier in the month and won't be fazed by returning to a venue at which he's a triple winner. Robyn Brisland's seven-year-old is also entitled to improve for the fitting of a first-time visor. Pearl Of Qatar and Medicine Jack have viable place claims.

Preview:

GIGI'S BEACH produced his best performance since joining Michael Dods when headed late over track and trip last time. He is 1lb higher here, but scored off this mark at Kempton last summer and rates as the one to beat. Glorious Charmer has placed off this rating at Wolverhampton the last twice and has to be respected, while course-and-distance regular Rockley Point rarely runs a bad race here and is a must for the shortlist.

Forecast:

1.75 BOBBY JOE LEG; 2.00 BROCTUNE RED; 5.50 DRAMATISTA (IRE); 10.00 CMON CMON (IRE); MOXY MARES; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Broctune Red has impressively notched a 1m course double and another bold bid looks assured, but BOBBY JOE LEG shades the verdict in receipt of 3lb. He won comfortably over course and distance two weeks ago and a 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Dramatista beat the former on her penultimate start but was no match for him last time. She's no forlorn hope.
