Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| D

5/2

Dual winner of 7f AW handicaps earlier this year. Disappointing both starts since, unable to lead and weakening 1f out when ninth of 10 at Chelsmford 2 weeks ago. Still, bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 7-71189

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 81| C

7/2

Course winner. Blinkered for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 9/2) 50 days ago, outbattled. Return to this venue a plus and possibilities in refitted visor.

De Vegas Kid³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 77| CD

5/2

4-time course winner. Better than bare result when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 31 days ago, headway when not much room over 1f out. Worth considering back here.

Spirit Warning¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

13/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 20/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 15 days ago, making little impression. Needs to show benefit of that run here.

Form: 07700-8

Plunger^h⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| D

15/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 8 days ago, never on terms having reared leaving stalls. Mark is easing all the time at least

Form: 400-866

Cobra Eye^b1³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: D Steele| OR: 49

16/1

Fairly useful winner as a 2-y-o. However, has essentially struggled despite a tumbling mark since, tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 3 days ago. No easy task from 9 lb out of weights here.

Forecasts

Fred (5/2), De Vegas Kid (5/2), Tin Hat (7/2), Spirit Warning (13/2), Plunger (15/2), Cobra Eye (16/1)

A tricky handicap with the vote in favour of DE VEGAS KID. Tony Carroll's charge shaped better than the bare result at Kempton on his latest outing in March and four of his last 5 visits to this track have resulted in success. Fred and Tin Hat can also feature.
