Lequinto³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 85| CD

13/8

Is proving really likeable and resumed winning ways after a 7-week break in 12-runner handicap (7/2) over C&D 32 days ago, keeping on well. Nudged up 5 lb but seems sure to go well again.

Form: 21122-1

Silver Dust²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79| CD

10/1

C&D winner who ran poorly after 5 months off when last of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 29 days ago, possibly unsuited by conditions. Return to polytrack is therefore a positive.

Form: 21140-7

(2)

Thrave^b,e/s¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 78| BF| D

5/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. Evens, creditable head second of 6 in claimer there (8.1f) 15 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and has to be respected.

Form: 01-2132

Hot Summer¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 78| D

14/1

Dual winner last year who was below form back down in trip on first run since leaving Richard Hannon when last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter.

Form: 16609-8

(4)

Starry Eyes¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 77

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2018 but not disgraced (18/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago and it's still early days with her new yard.

Form: 5544-77

Thrill Seeker^b1,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76| BF

5/2

Won novice event at Wolverhampton in December and runner-up all three starts since. First-time blinkers go on and another good account likely.

Form: 331-222

(3)

Thaayer²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: M Herrington| OR: 66| D

11/1

Scored at Newcastle in August but turned in poor effort after 4 months off when only sixth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at that venue 20 days ago.

Form: 36018-6

Forecasts

Lequinto (13/8), Thrill Seeker (5/2), Thrave (5/1), Silver Dust (10/1), Thaayer (11/1), Starry Eyes (14/1), Hot Summer (14/1)

LEQUINTO is proving really likeable and, with his latest win over C&D appealing as solid form for the grade, a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Thrill Seeker and Thrave are considered the main threats.
