Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 55

12/1

Victorious over this trip in a handicap at Chelmsford in October last year. Fair effort in defeat over the same C&D the following month and worth a check in the market on seasonal debut.

40/1

Course winner and successful nine times in 83 races but out of form when last in action during 2018. Struggled over this trip at Bath (1m, good-to-firm) in October and probably best watched on return to action.

14 race maiden finished a fair 5L fifth in a 7f handicap at Lingfield in March when returning from a break. Others appear to hold stronger claims in this contest.

4/1

C&D winner finished a fair fifth over this trip at Dundalk on his penultimate outing. Struggled dropping to 7f there subsequently and market support would be notable on this occasion.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 48

7/2

Registered her third career victory when winning a handicap over 1m2f at Newcastle last week. Carries a 4lb penalty for that victory and is an interesting contender dropping back in distance.

11/2

Blue Harmony^p⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: F Norton| T: M Blake| OR: 47

Forecasts

Perceived (7/2), Pushaq (4/1), Allux Boy (11/2), Clement (9/1), Captain Marmalade (10/1), Master Poet (11/1), Coachella (12/1), Blue Harmony (12/1), The Third Man (16/1), Jupiter (18/1), Cooperess (22/1), Officer Drivel (33/1), Ravenhoe (40/1)

BLUE HARMONY can gain reward for some decent placed efforts of late by registering a victory in the opening handicap. The selection has run well over this C&D in the past and she can get the better of recent winner Perceived who carries a penalty in this contest. Third place can go the way of Clement who has been in good form since joining this stable.
