10/1

Good 1L third in a first time visor (retained since) over 1m at Kempton on her penultimate start. Struggled upped to 1m2f here subsequently and a notable runner down in trip.

Form: 3-64238

Archie^t,v⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 69| DWS

14/1

Handicap mark is falling following some moderate AW efforts since joining this stable. Highly promising apprentice booked to ride racing off a mark 4lb lower than for his most recent success and on first start since wind surgery.

Form: 277-598

Ragstone View^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| C| D

11/1

Course winner but struggled when beaten 11L into tenth on seasonal debut at Leicester (7f, good) just under a month ago. Hood worn for the first time that day is retained and likely to have improved for that effort.

Form: 25430-0

Kachumba¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: Rae Guest| OR: 68| D

2/1

Short of room at a crucial stage when fourth over this trip at Brighton (good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last month. Top jockey booked to ride and she is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 97147-4

Good Luck Charm¹⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 66| D

25/1

Winner on soft ground over 7f at Brighton last August but generally disappointing since then and likely to improve for his first start since a heavy defeat at Kempton in December.

Form: 616390-

Chica De La Noche^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: S Dow| OR: 65| D

9/2

Promising third in a 7f handicap on the AW here last time out. Races off the same mark on this occasion and interesting to see how she fares on turf return.

Form: 1-32153

Savitar^h³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 64

8/1

Debuting in handicaps and for this yard when a well held seventh over 6f on the AW here in March. Hood worn for the first time that day is retained stepping back up in distance.

Form: 488-7

Flying Sakhee¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 48| CD

25/1

Dual C&D winner on good-to-firm ground last season. Ended 2018 with two disappointing AW efforts and is worth a check in the market on her return to this venue.

Form: 412500-

Forecasts

Kachumba (2/1), Blazed (3/1), Chica De La Noche (9/2), Savitar (8/1), Margie's Choice (10/1), Ragstone View (11/1), Archie (14/1), Flying Sakhee (25/1), Good Luck Charm (25/1)

KACHUMBA ran with promise despite encountering trouble on seasonal debut and she can step up on that to register a victory in this handicap contest. The selection has a leading jockey in the saddle and she can see off her rivals here with Blazed who has run well off higher marks in the past taken to claim second ahead of top weight Margie's Choice.
