16/1

Course winner but he arrives well below par, only eighth of 12 in handicap (150/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

11/2

Good second of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Chelmsford City (8f) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut but improving all the time recently so enters calculations.

Momtalik²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 54

22/1

Modest maiden for Derek Shaw. Hooded/tongue strap/cheekpieces on when only eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) on yard debut 27 days ago. Plenty to prove now.

Form: 356678

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden who posted good third of 12 in handicap over C&D (50/1) 30 days ago. Hood on now so she's not dismissed lightly.

Grouseman^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R P Downey| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 53

12/1

Still without a win, and below-form fifth of 15 in minor event at Beverley (8.4f, good) 19 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 70-7405

Blue Whisper²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 48

11/2

Ex-Irish maiden who shaped encouragingly on yard debut when staying-on fifth of 12 in 7f handicap here 22 days ago. Expected to be bang there back up in trip now.

(8)

Lafontaine⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Kirk| OR: 50

13/2

Only twice raced since the restart, and creditable third of 13 in 1m Bath novice 42 days ago. Needs bit more now back in handicap company though.

Form: U412-63

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 45

100/1

Lightly-raced 6-y-o maiden who arrives out of form, only eighth of 11 in 7f novice here 55 days ago. Back up in trip but easily opposed.

Forecasts

Amor Fati (2/1), Never Said Nothing (4/1), Sonnetina (11/2), Blue Whisper (11/2), Bay Of Naples (6/1), Lafontaine (13/2), Berkshire Philly (13/2), Grouseman (12/1), Deleyll (16/1), Hy Eales (18/1), Momtalik (22/1), Mabaady (100/1)

BLUE WHISPER could be worth chancing as he showed plenty without getting the rub of the green on his first start for Chelsea Banham when a staying-on fifth here and this return to 1m should bring about futher improvement. Never Said Nothing is feared most on the back of his recent Bath victory, although in-form Sonnetina could have a big say too if taking to the tapeta surface first time up.
