Royal Birth^t⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 95| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. 11/1, returned to form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 7 days ago, running on from a less-than-ideal position. Should give another good account.

Form: 179774

Green Power²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 94| D

25/1

Back-to-back winner of Goodwood handicaps at 5/6f in 2019. However, ended that year out of sorts and nearer last than first in 2 starts last summer. Tough to assess on return to action.

Form: 1109/76-

Jack The Truth^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: George Scott| OR: 88| CD

6/1

4-time C&D winner. 9/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, sticking to task. No surprise to see him in the mix again.

Form: 113-391

Nigel Nott^v1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 87| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Good third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Each of his last 2 victories have come around this venue and the fitting of a visor may put an extra edge on him.

Form: 47-4563

Rock Sound⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 86| BF

7/4

Latest win at Southwell in February. 6/5, creditable second of 8 in handicap back at that venue (7.1f) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Down in trip.

Form: 2/024-12

Mokaatil¹⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82| D

10/1

16/1, won 16-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) in September, having slipped 6 lb below his last winning mark. Only 2 lb higher ahead of return so not ruled out.

Form: 743051-

Capla Spirit^v¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 72| D

16/1

Latest win at Lingfield in January. 11/2, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago.

Form: 26-2143

Forecasts

Rock Sound (7/4), Nigel Nott (3/1), Royal Birth (9/2), Jack The Truth (6/1), Mokaatil (10/1), Capla Spirit (16/1), Green Power (25/1)

A typically wide-open sprint handicap with the vote in favour of NIGEL NOTT. He ran his best race since the turn of the year when a close-up third at Kempton 24 days ago and the application of a first-time visor may well put an extra edge on him back at the scene of his last success. Jack The Truth and Rock Sound head up the dangers, along with Mokaatil.
