Ventura Gold^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: R Havlin| T: S Gollings| OR: 65| D

4/1

Won twice last spring over 1m and 1m1f but hasn't been in great form in three runs since the return of racing. Coming down the weights though and now 8lb lower than last winning mark. Worth a market check.

Form: 680-579

Chloellie²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 63

10/1

Seventh career success when winning Wolverhampton 7f h'cap in March off 60 but is far less effective on turf only managing two places from eight previous attempts. Yet to win over this far so looks to face stiff task.

Form: 572155

Robert Guiscard^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

11/2

Eight-race maiden but has shown enough to suggests a win should be within his compass. Not in best of form in three runs so far this term but easing down the handicap and may improve for addition of the first-time blinkers.

Form: 353-665

Foronceinmylife^h1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 65

5/2

Bits and pieces of unplaced form in three AW runs during the winter and seemed improved for wind surgery when kept on to be second on handicap bow at Chepstow 7f last week. First-time hood now applied and has fair chance.

Form: 5-762

Cashel³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 56| D

25/1

Stable fairly quiet at the moment but ran well last month when beaten just a length into fourth in Kempton 1m h'cap. Both wins have come on AW and hasn't managed a place from six previous runs on turf.

Form: 5448-94

Libretti³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: W J Knight| OR: 62| D

2/1

Just a modicum of form in three runs prior to handicap bow over 1m at Lingfield last month where ran on well to lead close home. 5lb higher but less exposed tham most of her rivals so every chance she will go well again on turf debut.

Form: 5771

Forecasts

Libretti (2/1), Foronceinmylife (5/2), Ventura Gold (4/1), Cape Greco (4/1), Robert Guiscard (11/2), Chloellie (10/1), Sir Hamilton (10/1), Ocho Grande (14/1), Cashel (25/1)

Most of these make little appeal, but if she handles the switch to the turf recent Lingfield winner LIBRETTI may well prove capable of following up having apparently turned the corner after wind surgery prior to her win. Foronceinmylife came home well when second at Chepstow last time and the extra furlong looks the right call, and Sir Hamilton is not out of it having shown signs of a reveival for his new yard last time out. If the first-time blinkers have the desired effect then Robert Guiscard is another who could figure.
