Stormingin^b²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

50/1

Temperamental sort who arrives on long losing run but did at least shape as back in form when 5 lengths fifth of 10 in a Lingfield handicap (12f) in March. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 6428-05

(6)

Cafe Espresso^b⁴⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 60| C

40/1

Course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW), dwelt in rear and making little impression. Handicapper has relented and refitting of blinkers rates a plus.

Form: 96070/9-

Thermal¹⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 59| BF

9/1

Winner at Lingfield (10f) in October. 4/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in October, rider losing irons around 3f out. Not one to write off on return to action.

Form: 793210-

Gold Souk^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joshua Bryan| T: D Steele| OR: 59

25/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 250/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, having no chance at the weights and a slow start compounding matters.

Form: 003848

Temur Khan²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

12/1

7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Clearly in good order at present and each-way claims again.

Form: 79-5422

(11)

Settle Petal³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: R Brisland| OR: 58| C

18/1

Course winner. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (13f, AW) 35 days ago. Is now operating below last winning mark so not one to dismiss out of hand.

Form: 040-485

(7)

Celestial Bliss^b1,t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: L Carter| OR: 58

80/1

80/1, last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. That was his first start for 3 months but his profile is hardly a solid one. Blinkers/tongue fitted.

Form: 78380-0

Almost You³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: K P De Foy| OR: 58| BF| C

4/6

Course winner (12f) in January. Third of 16 in handicap (11/8) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 34 days ago. Has made a cracking start for new yard and expected to be thereabouts.

Form: 05/10-13

(5)

Petit Bay²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 58| BF

6/1

One win from 3 runs last year. 2/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) when last seen in July. Remains unexposed and possibilities if arriving in same form.

Form: 655/412-

(9)

Prince Abu^h⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 57

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 8 days ago, making late headway. Slightly longer trip worth exploring on that evidence.

Form: 73364

(12)

Savitar⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 56

18/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, good second of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 62 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly up in trip. Task is to back that up now.

Form: 82440-2

(13)

Departmentalize^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: P Phelan| OR: 51

150/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 50/1) 26 days ago, racing freely and making little impression. Mark continues to ease but others make stronger appeal.

Form: 90-9007

(8)

Famous Dynasty²²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Blanshard| OR: 49| C

14/1

Course winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 8/1, creditable third of 14 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Good showing expected.

Form: 653023

(3)

Air Of York^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: G Harris| OR: 47| C

40/1

Course winner, latest in January. Seventh of 11 in minor event at this course (8f, 17/2) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 0-31787

ALMOST YOU has made a fine start for her new yard, off the mark over 12f here in January prior to a solid third at Lingfield 34 days ago. She earns the vote to continue the good work under Oisin Murphy, with Petit Bay, Temur Khan and Thermal heading up the list of threats.
