5/1

One win from 3 runs last year. Winner at Salisbury in October. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, 9/1) 21 days ago. One to consider down in grade.

Bernard Spierpoint⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: S L Keightley| OR: 55| BF

14/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (7/4) 84 days ago, effort best excused. Shaped encouragingly on penultimate start, so not a forlorn hope if tuned up after a break.

Form: 437620-

Harbour Project⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (5f) 54 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit, although he needs to improve.

Form: 0769-9

Global Style^b⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| BF

7/2

Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course 42 days ago. Shaping up well recently, so could defy this mark if things drop right.

Form: 722-825

Mostallim²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 53| D

3/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 10/3, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 20 days ago. Should benefit from drop back in trip, so warrants respect.

Form: 56-7315

(11)

The Game Of Life^p,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 52| D

9/1

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, 25/1) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. Well handicapped if he can build on that.

Form: 083-004

16/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 21 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Plenty to prove at present.

12/1

10/3, ninth of 13 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 7 days ago, needing lesser test. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted.

10/1

Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Sixth of 9 in minor event (11/4) at Chelmsford City (7f) 44 days ago, forced wide. Cheekpieces back on. Remains one to be interested in at a low level.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 46

12/1

Nicky Baby^b¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 45

40/1

One win from 43 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 66/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 06-6667

Forecasts

Mostallim (3/1), Global Style (7/2), Raha (5/1), The Game Of Life (9/1), Canimar (10/1), Purbeck Hills (12/1), Socru (12/1), Bernard Spierpoint (14/1), Global Destination (16/1), Harbour Project (25/1), Nicky Baby (40/1)

RAHA has been performing with credit in better quality handicaps and could have a reasonable tactical position from stall 4, so a chance is taken on her to defy a mark that has become lenient. Global Style and The Game of Life are also players, but both need plenty to go their way.
