Two wins for David O'Meara as a 2yo and also ran a cracker over C&D last September (Group 3); the handicapper has been in command this year but he returns to AW and drops back to a Class 4; not solid but a revival isn't out of the question.

SR 67 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Finished a close third in a hot race at Ascot last April (closely matched with Angel Of Anfield) on his second start and had little trouble in seeing off eight rivals in a 7f maiden here last October; his two runs since, seven months apart, have resulted in heavy defeats; drops in class and could make a bold bid back on AW with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb.

SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Promising fifth on debut (closely matched with Siren Suit); beaten at odds-on twice afterwards but then made no mistake at Windsor last August (6f, good); close second over C&D on his nursery debut in October; dropped away in the closing stages at Ascot on his reappearance last month (7f, good) but returns to 6f, drops in class and is clearly at home on AW; should go well from a handy draw.

SR 75 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Stepped up on his debut (C&D) when readily accounting for nine rivals in a C&D maiden last month; couldn't reward favourite backers at Windsor on his handicap debut 18 days ago but it was still a sound effort in second, keeping on well in the final furlong (third has won since); up 3lb but doubt he has reached his ceiling.

SR 74 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Couldn't go overboard about the form of her Wolverhampton maiden win (6f) last November, for all it was by a wide margin; drawn wide when down the field at Chester on her seasonal/handicap debut five weeks ago; better berthed today but perhaps too high in the weights.

SR 70 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Market springer on her 2yo debut but on the back foot after a slow start and could only manage fifth; overcame another slow start to win a Southwell novice in April (6f) and she was sharper away when overcoming a penalty back at Southwell five weeks ago; needs more now handicapping and she's drawn widest but her ceiling may not have been reached.

SR 78 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Promise in her first three starts; off the mark at the fourth attempt when winning a small-field fillies' novice over C&D in March; no improvement for handicaps at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) six weeks ago but still ran to form; others perhaps better treated.

SR 78 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Ended his 2yo campaign with a Leicester nursery win; further progress with his two C&D wins in early April; well beaten in a big-field Ascot handicap in his bid for a four-timer last month; career-best effort required.

7f AW win last September; good second at Wolverhampton on his reappearance but he was a well-beaten third at Newmarket last month (7f, good); others look stronger.

Jumeirah Sands (SR 78, 9/2) carries just 9-4 and boasts the joint-highest SR in the field alongside a form string of 5-11 — two wins from two starts this season after a break, showing a progressive profile under Ismail Mohammed. The light weight of 9-4 gives a meaningful edge over the field given the SR is level-pegging at the top, and the market at 9/2 reflects genuine confidence without over-shortening. Kempton's AW surface on good-to-soft conditions suits a horse in ascending form, and the recent back-to-back wins confirm the horse is operating at peak right now.
Each-way alternative: Marengo Storm.
Main danger: Arry Up — Arry Up (SR 78, 6/1) carries only 9-0 — 4lb less than Jumeirah Sands — and a form string of 31-110 shows three wins from four starts this season, meaning the lightest competitive weight combined with peak form makes this a serious threat to the pick.
