True Belief^h³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 65

7/2

Eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 14/1) 32 days ago, badly hampered. Efforts earlier this year read well in the context of this race and his current mark, so he needs a close look.

Form: 3-32308

Holiday Magic⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Raul Da Silva| T: L Carter| OR: 65| CD

40/1

Four-time course winner. 100/1, last of 14 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good) 40 days ago. Won off this mark at Lingfield in January but clearly has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 217980

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| CD

11/2

Four-time course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Doncaster in June. Eighth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 37 days ago. Will be a threat if able to bounce back.

Saucy Encore^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 65

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 11 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good, 28/1) 10 days ago. That represented a step forward and interesting to see of she can build on it now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 38683

(5)

Phoenix Star^h,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| C

15/2

Course winner. Latest win here in March. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 10 days ago. Booking of Murphy a plus and he won off this mark over 6f here in March.

Form: 441660

Performance Poet¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: Rae Guest| OR: 62

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 14 in minor event (33/1) at this course (8f) 14 days ago. No great surprise were she to improve now switched to a handicap and market check advised.

Form: 395

Qaseeda²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: J G Portman| OR: 62

16/1

25/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 28 days ago. By no means a forlorn hope, albeit others table more compelling claims.

Form: 253-505

(13)

Rajman^h⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 58| CD

18/1

C&D winner. 6/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 86 days ago. Needs to bounce back and wide draw to overcome.

Form: 815-187

Form: 381099

Rogue Tide^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 61

40/1

First run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 66/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Improvement needed now that cheekpieces are enlisted.

Form: 336507

Viola Park^p⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 57| CD

40/1

Three-time C&D winner. 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 72 days ago. Risky proposition at present.

True Belief (7/2), Performance Poet (4/1), Lacan (11/2), Phoenix Star (15/2), Mabo (17/2), Saucy Encore (9/1), Bombastic (10/1), Qaseeda (16/1), Rajman (18/1), King's View (22/1), Misu Pete (25/1), Rogue Tide (40/1), Holiday Magic (40/1), Viola Park (40/1)

TRUE BELIEF is 0-12 on the all-weather but has finished in the money on 7 occasions and, granted better luck than at Lingfield last time, this could be his day. Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking for Phoenix Star, who has slipped back to his last winning mark and, like the selection, is well-drawn. Lacan is also high on the list and Saucy Encore would've been, too, but for her high draw.
