JUMIRA BRIDGE made a winning return to handicapping over 6f at this track last month and a 4lb raised mark may not be enough to hold him back, given he kept on to score by a length and a quarter on that occasion. Saaheq filled the runner-up spot over this trip at Southwell last time and is feared, while the class-dropping Street Life is another to bear in mind.

Stewards Note:

STREET LIFE: Following its run on 12/11/2022 it was reported that the horse hung right handed in the straight.

MUSTAFFIZ: Following its run on 8/4/2023 it was reported that the horse ran too freely

Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Jumira Bridge (GB), 9-2 Saaheq (GB), 5-1 Red Walls (GB), 11-2 Mustaffiz (GB), 9-1 Street Life (GB), 11-1 Araifjan (GB), 14-1 Show Me A Sunset (GB), The Grey Lass (GB)

MUSTAFFIZ was a bit too keen for his own good at Wolverhampton last time and is worth another chance back down to 5f given the form he was in Saaheq and Red Walls are feared most.
