Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 67

25/1

25/1, off 7 months before modest fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 223/87-5

Al Asef^h¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 66| BF

7/2

Off 13 months but shaped well on first run since leaving David Simcock when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Merits serious consideration off a handy mark.

Form: 0535/4-4

Sir Rodneyredblood¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 66| CD

11/2

C&D winner in February and has continued in good form, second of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Can make his presence felt once more.

Form: 115422

El Ray^h1,t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 65

7/1

12/1, had wind op before good fourth of 7 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 33 days ago on first run since leaving Kevin Ryan. Hood on for handicap debut. Should have more to offer.

Form: 65-4

(6)

Sir Hector²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 65| CD

10/3

Gained reward for string of good recent efforts with C&D success by ¾l from Sir Rodneyredblood. Up 3 lb but remains high on the shortlist.

Form: 332231

You're Cool^t,v³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 64| C| D

16/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March and not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 33 days ago. 4-time course winner and not dismissed lightly.

Form: 1-54616

(4)

Suzi's Connoisseur²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Jay Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 60| CD

7/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2019 but he recorded good third of 11 to Sir Hector in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, not ideally placed. C&D winner and well in the mix.

Form: 34-4333

(10)

Red Alert^p⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| CD

9/2

C&D winner but it's eleven runs since his last win in 2019. Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/2) 55 days ago on final run for Tony Carroll. Much respected.

Form: 70-5857

(7)

Egrecio^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: T Hamilton| T: M Wigham| OR: 52

100/1

Continues to show very little, only tenth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 70-0000

(3)

Perfect Symphony^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 49| CD

40/1

C&D winner but he arrives on back of last of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Windsor (6f) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers with plenty to prove.

Form: 28-7690

Forecasts

Sir Hector (10/3), Al Asef (7/2), Red Alert (9/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (11/2), Suzi's Connoisseur (7/1), El Ray (7/1), You're Cool (16/1), Kodiak Attack (25/1), Perfect Symphony (40/1), Egrecio (100/1)

Lots with chances but AL ASEF is fancied to build on an encouraging first run for Tom Clover after a long absence and get back to winning ways off an attractive mark. Recent C&D scorer Sir Hector is enjoying a fine 2021 and rates an obvious threat with Suzi's Connoisseur, You're Cool and El Ray all worthy of respect too.
