Kendergarten Kop¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: D Flood| OR: 62| D

9/2

Good spell on AW over winter and shaped better than result from reduced mark back on turf when eighth of 14 at Bath (1m) 18 days ago, ridden too aggressively.

Form: 358758

Pilot Wings²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| D

11/1

Quirky sort. Latest win at Chelmsford in January. Good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago. Claims if in similar form back on the grass.

Gypsy Dancer^h⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58

40/1

Eight-race maiden. Best to ignore latest seventh of 11 at Wolverhampton (12f) 83 days ago as he was badly hampered early in the straight. This just his second run on turf.

Form: 7/48-337

Double Reflection^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby| OR: 58| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Better than result when midfield at Windsor on turf return 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. Cheekpieces back on. Has dropped to a good mark.

Form: 6-50978

(6)

Contingency Fee^v1⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: P S McEntee| OR: 57| D

7/2

Latest win at Lingfield in January. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12f) 4 days ago. First-time visor replaces usual hood/cheekpieces combination. Considered under De Sousa.

Form: 134853

The Lords Walk^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 53| CD

14/1

Dual winner in 2019 but failed to hit top form in 2020. Well held in pair of Plumpton maiden hurdles this month ahead of Flat return.

Smoke On The Water^p1,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 50

8/1

Well held in 3 AW starts since joining this yard. Mark on the slide but need to see lot more in first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue tie.

Form: 7957-09

Screeching Dragon^e/s1¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Liam Jones| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 48

100/1

Poor form, including well held on handicap/stable debut at Wolverhampton in November. Needs to have improved in the 5 months since. Eyeshields on first time.

Form: 05/60-

Jeanette May¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 46| C

4/1

Course winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in Chelmsford classified 16 days ago. Has won under Hollie Doyle.

Form: 67-3285

(9)

Super Superjack^v1³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J F Egan| T: M F Harris| OR: 45

9/1

No impact in a pair of Chelmsford classified over this trip in recent months. First-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to spark improvement.

Form: 0950-70

Forecasts

Contingency Fee (7/2), Jeanette May (4/1), Kendergarten Kop (9/2), Double Reflection (9/2), Smoke On The Water (8/1), Super Superjack (9/1), Pilot Wings (11/1), The Lords Walk (14/1), Gypsy Dancer (40/1), Screeching Dragon (100/1)

DOUBLE REFLECTION was better than the result suggests back on turf at Windsor recently and could be worth chancing here having dipped to 3 lb below her last successful mark. Contingency Fee has raced exclusively on AW in recent times but he did win on turf in 2019 and he could pose a threat under De Sousa. Jeanette May is also on the shortlist with Hollie Doyle taking the ride.
