1st	2	6	The Thames Boatman (G) P Multiple winner on all-weather who has a lower turf mark to work from and he ran well when second at Bath (5f) 5 days ago, just failing. Cheekpieces go back on in place of usual hood but he does need…	921452	Finley Marsh R Hughes	6	60.8kg	5.50 9/2
9th	3	2	Tiger Tulip (M) FAV Won back-to-back over 6f last summer and essentially held her form well thereafter, posting a solid second in handicap at Newmarket (5f) when last seen in October. Has tended to need a run or two to …	402-968	Cieren Fallon H Main	5	60.3kg	4.33 10/3
2nd	4	4	Sandscreendeliverd (G) Gained breakthrough success on the turf at Lingfield (5f) in August and showed benefit of reappearance run when second on all-weather there 6 weeks ago, headed post. Holds solid claims with a repeat …	225933	T P Queally P Crate	4	59.9kg	8.50 15/2

5th	6	3	Tanjen (F) Won first 2 starts on all-weather last year and ran best race on turf when second at Leicester in September. Well below form at Southwell later the same month, but she could still have more to offer …	0-59775	D Allan T D Easterby	4	58.5kg	12 11/1
2nd	7	9	Spring Bloom (G) On a long losing run, though ran respectably behind a well-backed winner at Leicester on stable debut/reappearance. Stiff task up in class here on Friday and this is easier.	623211	Darragh Keenan J Butler	9	58.1kg	6 5/1
7th	8	1	Faustus (G) P Capitalised on the ease in grade when back on the scoresheet at Newbury (5f) in July. More miss than hit since, including in pair of all-weather starts in January. Possible this run will bring him on…	377262	Joe Leavy R Cook & J Bridger	8	56.7kg	26 25/1
6th	9	8	Rory Rocket (G) Deserving of extra credit coming from the rear in a steadily run race when shedding maiden tag at Kempton (6f) 6 weeks ago. 2 lb rise looks fair and pick of his turf form came at this track last summ…	016113	S Hitchcott G & J Moore	4	55.3kg	12 11/1
