Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 56

7/2

Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 10/1) 24 days ago. Makes fibresand debut and definite each-way chance if she takes to this surface.

Form: 4353-47

(8)

Effronte²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 55

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, AW, 50/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip for this handicap/fibresand debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 787-5

Jazz Legend^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 52| CD

12/1

Four-time C&D winner, the latest in January. Last of 8 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 26 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on and claims if he puts his best foot forward.

Catapult⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Molly Presland⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 47| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 18/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 9 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and others are more persuasive.

Form: 538177

Deevious Beau³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 46

5/2

22/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 30 days ago. On that evidence a first career success may well be on the horizon.

Form: 6-87832

First Excel^v²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: S R Bowring| OR: 46| CD

10/1

Three-time C&D winner. 5/1, creditable 1¾ lengths third of 7 to Catapult in minor event at this C&D 24 days ago. Place possibilities.

(7)

Burning Sun^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 45

11/1

11/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in minor event at this course (5f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to pull out more.

Form: 957-673

(9)

Kommander Kirkup^p²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 45| CD

33/1

Temperamental sort. 4-time C&D winner. 19 lengths last of 7 to Catapult in minor event at this C&D (5/1) 24 days ago. Looks vulnerable on balance.

Form: 90-7527

(10)

Carla Koala^h,t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: G Hanmer| OR: 45

80/1

Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 125/1) 46 days ago, very slowly away. Readily passed over.

Form: 69-4000

(6)

Trulove²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Riches| OR: 45

250/1

One win from 41 Flat runs. 11½ lengths sixth of 7 to Catapult in minor event at this C&D (50/1) 24 days ago. None too convincing.

Form: 0480-76

(3)

Outofthegloom^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

25/1

Hooded for 1st time, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 125/1) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Minor place money is probably the very best she can hope for.

Form: 88-8756

Forecasts

Deevious Beau (5/2), Tyche (7/2), Decision Maker (9/2), Effronte (9/1), First Excel (10/1), Burning Sun (11/1), Jazz Legend (12/1), Catapult (14/1), Fuwairt (16/1), Outofthegloom (25/1), Kommander Kirkup (33/1), Carla Koala (80/1), Trulove (250/1)

DEEVIOUS BEAU did well under the circumstances when hitting the crossbar at Newcastle last month and is taken to go one better off the same mark here. Providing he's fully tuned-up following a break, Decision Maker should make his presence felt, while Tyche is also worth a second look and Jazz Legend should have a say in the finish if on-song.
