Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 123 days. Not easy to make a case for.

Zefferino^t⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 57| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 15/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D 70 days ago. Has slipped to an attractive mark, so not discounted for all that he needs to bounce back.

Form: 6773-97

Irish Times^b⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Danny Brock| T: H Spiller| OR: 55| CD

16/1

Four-time course winner, including an 8-runner 7f minor event (6/5) on latest start 78 days ago. Did the job well on that occasion, but much more needed off new mark back in a handicap.

Form: 08623-1

Cashel^v1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 54| CD

14/1

Ungenuine type. C&D winner. 33/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time visor helping to spark a return to form.

Form: 0-43588

Noble Queen^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 53| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Good second of 14 in minor event at this course (10f, 15/8) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on and it's not hard to envisage this 5-y-o playing a leading role.

Form: 13-9222

(9)

Dawn View^p,t⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 52

10/3

3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago. Down another 2 lb and she's shortlist material.

Form: 655-233

(10)

Mostaqqer⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: M Wigham| OR: 51

8/1

66/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 43 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form, but no real reason to anticipate a revival at this stage.

Form: 500-090

Dancing Jo²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 47| D

9/1

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2019. Ninth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago, well positioned. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 5963-39

(5)

New Look^v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 46| D

10/1

Remains a maiden after 33 Flat runs in Britain. Good second of 10 in minor event (9/2) at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago. Has had several attempts off similar marks to this in handicaps. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 350552

Forecasts

Noble Queen (3/1), Dawn View (10/3), Zefferino (6/1), Mostaqqer (8/1), Dancing Jo (9/1), New Look (10/1), Daafy (11/1), Cashel (14/1), Irish Times (16/1), Sirbowtieman (100/1)

DAWN VIEW is still a maiden, but she has been threatening to come good of late and this may well be the day when she gets the job done. The 4-y-o wasn't beaten far when third over C&D last time and a further 2 lb drop in the weights leaves her on a career-low mark. Noble Queen has also been knocking firmly on the door in recent starts and is feared most ahead of Zefferino.
