In good form this year registering his most recent victory at Chelmsford last month. Finished a good third in a valuable contest there subsequently and is interesting back on turf.

9/1

Returning from a break when finishing runner-up in a 5f selling contest at Lingfield recently. Interesting to see how he fares off a mark 4lb higher than for his most recent victory.

Form: 566-972

Major Valentine⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Abbie McCain| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 71| D

9/2

Placed over 6f at Kempton in February but disappointing since including back on turf last time out. Others hold stronger claims.

Winning for the sixth time this year (all bar one coming in selling/claiming events) when winning a claimer at Wolverhampton last month. More needed on his return to handicaps.

Lexington Place¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65| CD

Running well without troubling the judge in the main this year and more needed than when finishing 4L fifth at Pontefract (5f, good-to-firm) last time.

Form: 407445

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss M Mullineaux| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 58| D

Narrowly beaten when finishing runner-up at Wolverahmpton on her penultimate outing. Held sixth at Haydock subsequently and best remains on a mare 4lb higher than for her latest success.

David's Beauty^v¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 55| CD

6/1

Gained due reward for some promising placed efforts this term when winning over 5f at Chepstow (good) last time out. One to note despite racing from 1lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Captain Lars (11/4), Lexington Place (7/2), Bosham (4/1), Major Valentine (9/2), David's Beauty (6/1), Just Us Two (9/1), Vimy Ridge (14/1), Teepee Time (25/1)

BOSHAM placed on turf earlier this season and following a good run in a better race last time out he can make a winning return to this surface in this amateur riders contest. Jockey Joanna Mason has plenty of experience and the pair are taken to get the better of David's Beauty who has been in good form of late and has a promising amateur in the saddle while Just Us Two can claim third on his return to handicaps.
