Summer Moon¹⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77

9/4

Cheap yearling who failed to progress as a juvenile. Pick of his form warrants his current mark but others may be open to more progress.

Form: 2336-

(2)

Lucipherus^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: M Botti| OR: 71

7/1

Has looked somewhat one paced to date. Up another furlong here and will be fitter for his recent run, but others make more appeal.

Form: 944-3

(7)

Mr Zoom Zoom¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: L McJannet| OR: 70

9/1

Has only beaten one home in two starts this term. May do better now handicapping and he is fairly weighted on his best form. Yard 0-49 with this age group.

Form: 676-35

(5)

Hermocrates⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 69| BF

10/1

Has proved much better since going handicapping and opened his account in a Class 6 Wolverhampton handicap in January. Beaten off this mark since and needs to improve on return to turf.

Form: 9952-16

(3)

Pop The Cork¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 68

16/1

Closely related to a winning miler but looked ready for this longer trip when noted staying on well at Wolverhampton (7f). Has the ability to win a small race but best checked in the market following an absence since November.

Form: 3974-

(8)

Hummdinger¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: A King| OR: 65| BF

7/2

Well backed ahead of his handicap debut 16 days ago when just denied by a fitter rival who went well at Goodwood on Saturday. Would have preferred a stronger gallop but no promise he'll get that here and he's 3lb higher in the weights.

Form: 864-2

Tigerskin²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 62

11/4

Comes from a good family so potentially much better than he's shown so far. Makes handicap debut off a workable mark and with his yard's three-year-olds in good form (4-8 in last nine days).

Form: 07-9

Purdey's Gift³⁵

Weight: 9-7| Age: 3

T: A M Balding J: Oisin Murphy

Forecasts

Summer Moon (9/4), Tigerskin (11/4), Hummdinger (7/2), Purdey's Gift (9/2), Lucipherus (7/1), Mr Zoom Zoom (9/1), Hermocrates (10/1), Pop The Cork (16/1)

This may take little winning but remains hard to solve. Humdinger was heavily backed for his handicap debut and could make amends under Jamie Spencer having pulled too hard for a claimer last time. There is no promise he will get a stronger gallop here and PURDEY'S GIFT is just preferred. Andrew Balding's charge took another step forward last time and the form looks sound with the runner-up scoring next time. Tigerskin and Pop The Cork are worth checking in the market on their seasonal return over a trip that should see them to better effect.
