Hint Of Grey¹²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: G & J Moore| OR: 53| CD

6/1

Won three times over hurdles and twice on the Flat when trained by Don Cantillon. Has her first start for a new yard and should figure in an ordinary contest.

Form: 8/73646-

Katie's Surprise^p1⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 40

40/1

Very little to shout about in five starts so far, two of them on turf. Needs to show dramatic improvements in cheekpieces for the first time.

Form: 909/00

(8)

Ladofash^v³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: C Gordon| OR: 58

20/1

Only limited signs of ability in five starts over hurdles since joining current trainer, but his Flat form when trained by Karl Burke gives him a chance. Stable among the winners lately.

Form: 14667-0

(4)

Maraakib¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: L P Keniry| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 51| D

12/1

Four-times winner on turf, but has generally struggled since joining this yard and being campaigned on AW surfaces. Return to turf may help and official ratings suggest he should be competitive.

Form: 467908

(11)

Mount Cleshar³⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 45

66/1

Three runs on the AW and one on turf. Nothing much to set the pulse racing so far and is best watched until showing more.

Form: 5690-

(5)

Rocksette²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: P Hide| OR: 47

10/1

Second twice in handicaps over C&D in the autumn, but two AW weather outings this spring have not been to the same standard. Return to this venue should suit and she looks a major player.

Form: 4522-78

(6)

Sharp Operator^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 52| D

8/1

In good form on the AW of late, including when winning at Chelmsford in February. Turf record not so good but, to be fair, he has improved since last tried on grass when trained in Ireland.

Form: 491332

(10)

Solveig's Song^p⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woodman| OR: 55| CD

8/1

Twice successful over C&D and ran well to be second when last sighted at Kempton in January. Quite strong claims given her course form.

Form: 45909-2

(9)

The Secrets Out^h³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: L A Dace| OR: 55

4/1

Won a handicap at Winsdor last June and has run respetcably since, although he probably needed last month's reappearance run at Lingfield. One of the more likely contenders.

Form: 22424-5

(3)

Goodbye Lulu^b1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: George Baker| OR: 52

25/1

Very little to write home about in five starts, the latest after wind surgery. Needs first-time blinkers to have a significant effect if she is to be in the mix.

Form: 807-80

(7)

Happy Ending¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J W Mullins| OR: 51

13/2

Unplaced in five starts, but did not shape too badly over 1m at Kempton on latest outing. Longer trip should suit and she is not without hope.

Form: 899-64

(12)

Miniature Daffodil^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 54| D

7/2

Two of his last three starts have seen him land 1m2f handicaps at Chelmsford. Can be expected to figure strongly if transferring that level of form to turf.

Form: 0-05131

(14)

Saint Anthony^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: M H Tompkins

40/1

Well beaten in four starts, three of them on the AW. Connections reach for blinkers for the first time and they need to have a dramatic effect.

Form: 000-0

(16)

Valerie's Memory³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: P Hide

16/1

Has beaten only one rival in three starts. Still early days for her, but she needs to show significantly more before entering calculations. Stable looks to have better prospects with Rocksette.

Form: 0-65

Forecasts

Miniature Daffodil (7/2), The Secrets Out (4/1), Hint Of Grey (6/1), Happy Ending (13/2), Sharp Operator (8/1), Solveig's Song (8/1), With Approval (8/1), Rocksette (10/1), Maraakib (12/1), Valerie's Memory (16/1), Ladofash (20/1), Goodbye Lulu (25/1), Brave Tart (25/1), Katie's Surprise (40/1), Saint Anthony (40/1), Mount Cleshar (66/1)

A weak contest which can go to ROCKSETTE, who was runner-up twice over C&D in the autumn and can get her head in front if in the same mood. Miniature Daffodil has been in good form on the AW and can figure if as effective on turf, while other dangers include Hint Of Grey, Ladofash and Solveig's Song. Happy Ending could go well at rewarding odds.
