Bossipop^b²³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| D

10/1

Multiple winner, mainly over 6f and all on turf. 0-4 on AW, but returns on a dangerous mark based on his turf form, if able to transfer that to this surface.

Form: 982670-

Glory Fighter²⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 75| D

14/1

Won a Lingfield novice event (5f) as a juvenile when with Charles Hills in 2018. Failed to kick on last season after being gelded. Changed hands for 35,000gns since and on a handy mark for stable debut if ready first time.

Form: 58/4075-

Cool Spirit²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: Olly Williams| OR: 75| D

50/1

Triple winner over 5f-6f, including on Fibresand. Last of that trio came on his seasonal return last year for Richard Fahey, when on today's mark. Lost his way after that and changed hands for £10,000 in September. Bit to prove.

Show Palace²¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 75| BF| D

22/1

Prolific 5f winner on turf, mostly with some cut in the ground. 2lb higher than the most recent of those 12 successes. Has only once won when fresh and is 0-4 on AW, so one or two reasons to take him on this time.

Form: 139244-

Militia⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 74| D

12/1

Multiple turf winner over 5f/6f, twice from higher marks. Returns 4lb higher than the most recent of those at Musselburgh last October, when with Richard Fahey. Made respectable debut for this trainer here in March. Not ruled out.

Royal Brave⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 74| CD

20/1

Prolific turf winner who is 1-15 on AW, and that win came over C&D in 2016, when 4lb lower. Losing run now at 14, and others make greater appeal.

Form: 83448-6

Barrington^v⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| D

6/1

It's 16 races since he last won at Nottingham in 2018. 0-13 on AW, although has been second three times on the Polytrack. Appears to handle Tapeta well enough, but will need to be at his best to win from this mark.

Form: 622582

Buniann⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| CD

11/4

Dual C&D winner, including last time out in February, on his first run post-wind surgery. Returns on 4lb higher mark, but still improving and looks to have claims of a successful follow-up.

Form: 3105-21

(6)

Jewel Maker²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73

14/1

Soft ground Cork maiden winner (7f) as a juvenile when with Dermot Weld. Finished last season with a close second at Catterick (6f, heavy) from today's mark. Makes AW debut here and has to prove he acts on this surface. Player if he does.

Form: 687232-

(8)

Tabaahy⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| D

11/2

Triple Tapeta winner at Wolverhampton over 5f/6f, and still improving judged on his most recent success in March. Up 2lb for that and needs taking very seriously.

Form: 6-73121

(11)

Primo's Comet⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J S Goldie| OR: 72| CD

7/2

Dual C&D winner and has won three times from marks higher than today's. Was a few pounds below his best in four runs in the winter, and has yet to win when fresh, so has a bit to prove despite his handy mark.

Form: 3480-75

Forecasts

Buniann (11/4), Primo's Comet (7/2), Tabaahy (11/2), Barrington (6/1), Society Queen (8/1), Bossipop (10/1), Militia (12/1), Glory Fighter (14/1), Jewel Maker (14/1), Royal Brave (20/1), Show Palace (22/1), Cool Spirit (50/1)

An interesting handicap where the suggestion is BUNIANN, who was still improving when last seen and is taken to defy another 4lb rise. Stablemate Militia is another with a squeak, though Glory Fighter might give the selection most to do. Jewel Maker could come into it if handling the surface, while Tabaahy is another probable contender.
