Durham Castle 9/2 (Bet Victor)
Trilby 7/1 (Bet365, Betfred)
Sergeant Wilko 9/1 (William Hill)
Great Wood 12/1 (Bet365)
Big field handicap to get the day started. Race sponsors Betfred are paying 5 places for all each way bets. Joint favourite Fine Interview has been consistent and versatile for trainer Hamad Al Jehani, making the frame in his last 3 starts over 6 and 7 furlongs.
His latest start at the end of March, finishing a close third in a Doncaster handicap will have him primed for this. Ground and conditions will suit, jockey booking of William Buick also a significant bonus. 4/1 best with Betfred.

Two Stars 7/2 (Betfred)
Jasour 4/1 (William Hill)
Leovanni 8/1 (Betfred)
Seven Questions 12/1(William Hill)
A listed sprint event with three entries all vying for favouritism. Jasour leads the market and warrants attention as Clive Cox produces good sprinters for this kind of race. He comes here fresh after wind surgery but needs to answer questions based on last season’s form.
Leovanni comes here unexposed after demonstrating promise as a two-year-old and with the man in form William Buick on board, this looks excellent value at 8/1 with race sponsors Betfred.

Estrange 2/1 (Bet365, Betfred)
Shaha 5/2 (Bet Victor, Boylesports)
Beautiful Love 4/1 (William Hill)
Chorus 11/1 (Betfred)
Bay Of Sanibel 14/1 (Bet365, Betfred)
Race favourite Estrange has not been seen out since winning a fillies listed event at Doncaster at the tail end of November last year. Second favourite Shaha stayed on well to win a similar prize at Goodwood recently.
Taking match fitness into account, we marginally fancy the Gosden trained Shaha to improve on that Goodwood run. Best odds of 5/2 with Bet Victor and Boylesports.
SELECTION: SHAHA 5/2 (Bet Victor, Boylesports)

Audience 7/2 (William Hill)
Alyanaabi 4/1 (William Hill)
Kinross 11/2 (William Hill)
Spycatcher 8/1 (Betfred)
Room Service 10/1 (Bet365)
Audience trained by the Gosden team leads the market here. His reputation still rests on his stunning Grade 2 victory at Goodwood, winning comfortably over Art Power by some 4 lengths over 7 furlongs. He clearly needs that extra furlong after struggling over shorter distances recently.
However, others are preferred. Alyanaabi comes fresh after a course and distance win from three weeks ago and there is no reason to feel he will not improve to win this. Audience back to his best is a danger of course. Spycatcher looks good each way value also.
SELECTION: ALYANAAB 4/1 (William Hill)
