Glory of Paris¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 57| CD

5/2

Temperamental sort. C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Ninth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (8f) 19 days ago. Capable of a bold show if in the right mood.

Form: 312579

Dylan's Lad^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 57| C

3/1

Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (6.1f, 4/1) 26 days ago, keeping on well. Should give another good account, despite the 5 lb rise.

Form: 94-5141

(6)

I Had A Dream^p,t1⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 55

125/1

100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 78 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and she has a fair bit to prove at present.

Form: 0324/6-0

(7)

Mister Freeze^t,v¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: P R Chamings| OR: 54| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 7/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 7-22435

Khaan^p1,h¹⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: George Buckell⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 50| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Eyeshields on for 1st time blinkered for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 20/1), possibly amiss. Off 108 days and now tried in cheekpieces.

Gulland Rock²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 49| C| D

33/1

Course winner in February, but trailed in last of 11 in minor event at this C&D (6/1) 29 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 90-4610

Surrajah¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: A West| OR: 47| D

18/1

Last of 6 in claimer (66/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 18 days ago. Makes fibresand debut and others are more persuasive.

Form: 499-736

(9)

Send In The Clouds²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

9/2

Respectable third of 11 in minor event (10/3) at this C&D 29 days ago. Will need a couple of these to falter if he's to open his account at the seventh time of asking.

Form: 0967-63

Chelsea Showcase⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Molly Presland⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 45

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in minor event (100/1) at this course (6.1f) 86 days ago. Big step forward needed on this handicap debut.

Form: 06-8

Forecasts

Glory of Paris (5/2), Mister Freeze (3/1), Dylan's Lad (3/1), Send In The Clouds (9/2), Khaan (14/1), Surrajah (18/1), Gulland Rock (33/1), Chelsea Showcase (80/1), I Had A Dream (125/1)

The most solid proposition is DYLAN'S LAD, who has improved since the turn of the year and looks well worth another crack at this trip judged on last month's success in a 6f handicap here. Given his relatively low mileage, there may be more to come from this 4-y-o. Glory of Paris has not been at his best of late, but he'll be a big danger if able to bounce back and Mister Freeze also has claims.
