Paddy The Chef^p²³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| D

20/1

Took advantage of falling mark to score with a bit in hand at Chepstow last September (12f), but an 8lb rise for that looks plenty; since well beaten over hurdles at Ludlow and on balance, others preferred.

Teaser^p,t²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 72WS

14/1

Useful hurdler/chaser, three times a winner in those spheres last summer, but not seen out on the Flat for well over 18 months; has had a wind operation since last being seen but this trip may be a little too far for him all the same.

Kensington Art^p²¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

11/1

Won back-to back handicaps last autumn, and seemed to find this mark within his compass when only beaten a length at Haydock on subsequent start; went quiet after that but returns fresh, and if drop in trip no bother, has chances.

Malika I Jahan²³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 72

14/1

Well-built filly that showed plenty on debut at Newmarket back in 2018 but only seen twice since then, and in truth, hasn't gone on; early days though and has moved yards, new trainer expert at rejuvenating these sorts too; very interesting.

Form: 6/25-

Really Super¹⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 72

16/1

Consistency not her strong point but she's more than useful on song, twice winning good grade handicaps over hurdles last autumn; still a maiden after 12 starts on the Flat but trip suits, and she's got place chances if fit.

London Eye³⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: H Fry| OR: 72

4/1

Had six starts for Michael Stoute but didn't progress as expected, despite going up in trip (which ought to have helped); now gelded and a change of yard, both of which could help, but a bit to prove on balance.

Hackbridge^p,t1¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Bennett| T: P Phelan| OR: 71

50/1

There's the odd good run which would give you cause for hope off this mark, such as his very close second at Windsor last year, but the good runs are few and far between, and tend to come over shorter trips. Others preferred.

Singing The Blues²⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 71| C| D

4/1

Four times a winner last year and paid for his consistency afterwards, mark pretty much unchanged since then; no issues with either trip or surface, good jockey booking and looks one of the more likely ones if wound up today.

Master Grey²³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: B R Millman| OR: 71

66/1

Twice a winner on quick ground last year but form rather tailed off after that (ground a possible excuse); has more races in him but may find this trip a bit on the short side, and yard have a better candidate in Singing The Blues.

Form: 412696-

Arty Campbell^b²¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 71| C

80/1

Infrequent winner under all codes but did get his head in front at Chepstow last August; however that was over thier marathon 18f trip, and this simply loks too short a test for him, so others readily preferred.

Form: 552617-

Ned Pepper²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T P Queally| T: A King| OR: 71

7/2

Did better once going handicapping last year, although a bit concerning worst run came over this C&D last October; probably best to forgive that, as it's still early days with him, and he could easily improve again this year.

Secratario⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 70| C| D

6/1

Has had his issues but still useful at this sort of level, and came good on final start when just getting the better of the argument over 10f at Chelmsford; clearly still a good engine there and might yet be a bit more to come.,

Form: 341P/71

Forecasts

Ned Pepper (7/2), Singing The Blues (4/1), London Eye (4/1), Secratario (6/1), Kensington Art (11/1), Teaser (14/1), Malika I Jahan (14/1), Really Super (16/1), Paddy The Chef (20/1), Hackbridge (50/1), Master Grey (66/1), Arty Campbell (80/1)

The interesting one here is MALIKA I JAHAN, a really well-built filly that caught the eye on her debut but has disappointed in two subsequent starts but has now joined a yard so good at turning these sorts around. She could be well handicapped if that's the case and is worth sticking with for the time being. Really Super knows how to win and has chances if on song, and Ned Pepper may well improve again this term. The Millmans run two, and of them, Singing The Blues makes the msot appeal.
