9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 24 days ago. Fewer miles on the clock than several, one to consider.

Dolphin Village^h²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 45

18/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Catterick (15.9f, heavy) 52 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Difficult to make a case for.

Forecasts

Heron (11/4), Mizen Master (10/3), Sea Of Mystery (4/1), Affair (11/2), Restive (6/1), Archippos (9/1), Henry's Conquest (9/1), Dolphin Village (18/1), Red Dragoness (22/1), Bazooka (33/1), Mister Universum (66/1)

ARCHIPPOS ran well on this surface in a seller back in March and is the tentative selection in a very uncompetitive event. Henry's Conquest hasn't shown much to date but he has fewer miles on the clock than most and hails from a top yard. Mizzen Master has been running creditably over hurdles and can't be ruled out either.
