Summerghand^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 109| CD

4/1

Bounced back to something like his best when third of 6 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 2836-73

Brian The Snail²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 102| D

15/2

Three wins from 10 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in February. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 5/1) 24 days ago.

Form: 12-4214

Repartee^p1²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 101| D

9/2

Won listed race at Windsor on reappearance last season. Well below form both starts after but clearly goes well fresh and opening BHA mark of 101 is exploitable. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 432/105-

Lord Rapscallion^t1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 96| D

17/2

Useful sort who went backwards from his reappearance when last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 days ago. It's early days with this yard but has a bit to prove in a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 2284-50

(3)

Streamline^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: R L Moore| T: C G Cox| OR: 94| D

11/4

Won 3 of 4 starts in 2019, including Sirenia Stakes. Has shaped as if retaining ability since returning to action, not seen to best effect at Kempton 24 days ago. Therefore, not one to write off.

Form: 131/656

Wentworth Falls¹⁸²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 92| D

28/1

Useful handicapper. Below form final 2 starts last season, but has gone well fresh in the past so could bounce back.

Form: 421480-

(6)

Zarzyni¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 90

11/2

Useful handicapper on Flat for M. Halford in Ireland. Ran poorly final outing but has eased in the weights, so looks interesting on first run for new stable back from a break.

Form: 939770-

Juan Les Pins⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 89| D

11/1

Scored at Kempton in October. Found good run coming to a halt in a first-time hood at Chelmsford City 2 months later. Given a break since and could yet get back on the up.

Form: 152125-

Forecasts

Streamline (11/4), Summerghand (4/1), Repartee (9/2), Zarzyni (11/2), Brian The Snail (15/2), Lord Rapscallion (17/2), Juan Les Pins (11/1), Wentworth Falls (28/1)

Cases can be made for most, but REPARTEE’s opening mark looks exploitable and he has a good record fresh, so he shades the vote. Streamline is not one to write off having not been seen to best effect last time, while Juan Les Pins could get back on the up now returning from a break.
