Ross Raith Rover^b⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 55| C

14/1

Dual winner last year, but has not been at his best this time round and latest two efforts have been particularly disappointing. Plenty to prove for now.

Form: 468900

Luxford²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: J R Best| OR: 54| D

14/1

Better record on turf than the AW. Ran a fair race over C&D in February, but two subsequent efforts have been underwhelming. Needs to bounce back to form.

Form: 495-605

(11)

Diamond Reflection^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 53| D

9/1

Only win in 26 starts came on the AW. Limited promise over hurdles before finishing down the field back on the Flat at Wolverhampton. Has a bit to prove.

Form: 650759

Cat Royale^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Danny Brock| T: J Butler| OR: 52| D

11/2

Competes mainly on the AW. Two runs this month have been perfectly respectable and he has solid each-way claims off the same rating.

Form: 924435

La Mernancia¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 55

8/1

No placings in six races, two of them on the AW. Sliding down the weights and may pop up at some stage.

Form: 55-7649

(8)

River Cafe⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Kirk| OR: 53

9/1

Maiden after 10 runs, but has not performed too badly at Wolverhampton on last three of them off 1lb higher. No obvious reason why she should end her losing run, however.

Form: 749346

Henry Grace^b⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: J C Fox| OR: 47

33/1

On quite a lengthy losing run and latest effort at Wolverhampton was hardly encouraging. One of the less appealing contenders.

Form: 0-86040

(12)

My Lord²⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 47| D

100/1

Veteran performer who is likely to need this first run since December and is hard to fancy on his most recent form.

Form: 377006-

(9)

Kingfast¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T P Queally| T: David Dennis| OR: 52

5/1

Returning from a break when an encouraging third of 11 at Chepstow a fortnight ago. Runs off the same mark, but has been unplaced in two previous efforts on the AW.

Form: 9-46543

(13)

Duggary^v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 50

9/2

Maiden after 12 starts, but ran a decent race in a first-time visor when third of seven in a Chelmsford selling handicap on his latest start. The headgear is retained and he runs off 1lb lower.

Form: 033593

Billy Star¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: J C Fox| OR: 50

9/2

Little to enthuse about in four outings, the latest in handicap company. Down 1lb and has a good deal to prove.

Form: 00-97

(10)

Alucinado¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: B R Millman| OR: 49

33/1

Down the field in three runs in novice company. Makes her handicap debut and is worth keeping an eye on for any market support.

Form: 099

(6)

Still Got It²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R Ffrench| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 48

25/1

Maiden after 10 runs and has hit the frame only once. Handicap mark continues to fall, but she needs to find extra.

Form: 708-656

Forecasts

Duggary (9/2), Billy Star (9/2), Kingfast (5/1), Cat Royale (11/2), La Mernancia (8/1), River Cafe (9/1), Diamond Reflection (9/1), Ross Raith Rover (14/1), Luxford (14/1), Mischievous Rock (16/1), Still Got It (25/1), Alucinado (33/1), Henry Grace (33/1), My Lord (100/1)

Alucinado makes most appeal of those at the bottom of the handicap, but this can go to CAT ROYALE, who has run well off his current rating on his last two starts and looks more reliable than most of his rivals. River Cafe and Kingfast possess bits of form which give them hope.
