Counter Spirit²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 65

8/1

Supported when third to a decent sort at Kempton and nicely weighted on that form. Yard have had a quiet start to 2018 so she should improve significantly on her comeback run.

Form: 43-7

Daring Guest¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 64| CD

20/1

6f too sharp at Brighton and out of his class here last month. Earns a drop in the weights and capable of doing the job off his new mark at a level where he is 1-2.

Form: 748367

Swiss Cross^p,t¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 63| D

20/1

14-time winner who has been saving his best for Guernsey over the past year. Return to 7f helps but yet to make the frame here.

Form: 958-325

De Vegas Kid¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| C| D

15/8

Rapid improvement last twice with two impressive wins over shorter. Stays this trip and likely to be in the mix again off 5lb higher. Also entered 5:30 here on Wednesday.

Form: 2-62111

Moi Aussie^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Tate| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| CD

8/1

Game mare whose last three wins have come over C&D but all have been from handicap marks below 60.

Form: 75-0616

The King's Steed^b,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: S Lycett| OR: 57

28/1

Dual AW winner whose only turf success came on heavy ground. Needs a decent pace and Moi Aussie should ensure that, but questions remain about his effectiveness on ground this fast.

Form: 311303

Clergyman²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 57

16/1

Made all to win two Wolverhampton contests earlier in the year. 0-14 on turf and has to bounce back from a poor effort last time.

Form: 912060

(9)

La Isla Bonita^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Spencer| OR: 57| D

7/2

Has been a bit better since cheekpieces have been fitted, but she still leaves the impression she is weak in a finish.

Form: 20-5045

(4)

Pitch High⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 48| D

16/1

Landed a poor race at Newcastle during the winter. May have needed his last run and not overburdened in another weak event.

Form: 158-564

(6)

Sea Tea Dea⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 45| D

22/1

On a long losing run and last four runs have been distinctly moderate. Deservedly has a basement mark in a poor race.

Form: 759404

Wild Acclaim^t,v¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45| C

7/1

Gutsy effort to score over 6f here on Wednesday, but she did not see out this trip here three weeks ago.

Form: 546331

Percy Toplis^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

66/1

Out of form currently and hard to see his prospects improving dramatically enough from 7lb out of the handicap.

Form: 550-808

Forecasts

De Vegas Kid (15/8), La Isla Bonita (7/2), Wild Acclaim (7/1), Counter Spirit (8/1), Moi Aussie (8/1), Shyarch (12/1), Clergyman (16/1), Pitch High (16/1), Swiss Cross (20/1), Daring Guest (20/1), Sea Tea Dea (22/1), The King's Steed (28/1), Percy Toplis (66/1)

Some inconsistent types line up for a weak race. C&D specialist Moi Aussie will be hard to pass from the front again but it will take a career best to hold on. DARING GUEST usually runs in better company than this and won another class 6 here last summer off a higher mark. Wild Acclaim won here yesterday however this longer trip may find her out, whilst Counter Spirit has claims on her AW third at Kempton and will improve for her first run of the season.
