10/1

14/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago. Now 6 lb below last winning mark and it would be unwise to ignore this 6-y-o.

Form: 358-595

Desert Land²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 67| D

7/1

Latest win at Lingfield in January. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 16/1) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Winless following 8 attempts on turf and may again come up short.

Form: 8-15768

Lethal Angel^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 65| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 50/1, 8½ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Declaring Love in listed race at Bath (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, slowly away. This represents a big drop in class and she's a major player.

Form: 0491-20

Winnetka³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| BF

13/2

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 31 days ago. Each-way chance if on-song, but remains vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 32-2268

Holdenhurst^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh| T: W G M Turner| OR: 61| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Good second of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 20/1) 10 days ago. No reason to think that he won't be on the premises once more.

Form: 07416-2

Storm Melody^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Stronge| OR: 59| D

5/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. A bold show could be on the way.

Form: 514249

De Little Engine^v¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 53| C| D

9/1

Course winner. 11/1 and visored for 1st time, sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others preferred.

Form: 6-90786

Cobra Eye^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 48| D

9/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 16/1) 10 days ago. Bit to prove at present.

Forecasts

Lethal Angel (4/1), Holdenhurst (4/1), Storm Melody (5/1), Winnetka (13/2), Desert Land (7/1), De Little Engine (9/1), Cobra Eye (9/1), Real Estate (10/1), Navajo Dawn (25/1)

LETHAL ANGEL is clearly more of a force on the all-weather, but it's worth nothing that her sole previous turf success was gained on her only previous visit here in 2019. She went close off a 1 lb higher mark at Yarmouth in September, too, and this is more realistic than her recent Bath assignment. Storm Melody could be the one for the forecast, though Holdenhurst and Real Estate also have claims.
