Envisaging^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Lorenzo Atzori⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 74

4/1

Ran a race full of promise on his return to action over C&D failing to get a clear run; also exhibiting his quirks that have contributed to his poor strike-rate. Undermined that promise with a poor showing last time; capable but not straightforward.

Form: 4584-26

Dream World¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| CD

7/4

C&D winner with that win contributing to her 3-7 record this year; returned to winning ways last time when seen to good effect from the front at Chepstow (change of tactics). Won with a bit in hand; up 2lb but more to offer, leading player.

Form: 611541

Seprani²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 71

6/1

Consistent sort who hasn't been disgraced in her last two starts and has now slipped just below her last winning mark. Faces one or two who may be a step ahead of the handicapper here; looks booked for another placed effort at best.

Form: 96-3024

Coverham^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 71| D

11/4

Continues in good heart having proved himself to be a dependable sort at this level and over this kind of trip. Last seen in winning form on the AW in May off a mark of 70 (yet to win off higher); cheekpieces return to provide a little boost.

Bond Street Beau⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 59

16/1

The bearer of an improved performance when getting off the mark on the AW in February over 6f in a 0-60 handicap. Only seen twice since then (had a couple of lengthy break) he may well need this against some race-fit types up in grade.

Form: 0-46166

Trulee Scrumptious^v¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Grace McEntee| T: P Charalambous| OR: 58

10/1

Returned to her usual front-running tactics last time to win a Newmarket 1m handicap for the third time (given plenty of rope). Rivals sure to be more aware of her tactics this time; finished 9055 at this venue.

Forecasts

Dream World (7/4), Coverham (11/4), Envisaging (4/1), Seprani (6/1), Robero (6/1), Trulee Scrumptious (10/1), Bond Street Beau (16/1)

It’s unlikely with Trulee Scrumptious in the field that DREAM WORLD will be able to execute the front-running tactics that she pulled off at Chepstow last time but her previous two victories had been gained from off the pace so she’s shown her versatility already. Her trainer, Mick Appleby won this in 2017and he looks to have a sound chance of doing so again here. There are some consistent types in this such as Seprani and Coverham but neither are ahead of their marks and that means that the quirky but clearly useful on his day Envisaging lurks as the main danger if he can replicate his C&D run here in May without the trouble in-running.
