10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford (1m) in November. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 11/2) 12 days ago. Fancied to give another good account.

Kondratiev Wave^p³⁴

7/1

13/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 34 days ago, finding test too much. Worth noting both career victories have come at sprint trips.

Form: 00-8547

Crack Regiment¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: H Spiller| OR: 80

5/1

13/1, dispelled a lesser effort when good fifth of 16 in handicap at Deauville (9.4f) in December, keeping on. No forlorn hope back on these shores.

Colonel Whitehead²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: H Main| OR: 79

12/1

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Last of 13 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 20/1) 25 days ago. That was his first start for 5 months/having been gelded and booking of Buick is eye-catching.

Form: 21139-0

Accomplice⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR: 78| CD

11/1

7-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 11/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 5 days ago, keeping on over 1f out. Present mark demands that little bit more.

Form: 136014

Flying West²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78| CD

9/4

C&D winner who was progressive last year, winning 3 of her 6 starts. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (1m) on return 3 weeks ago and entitled to be sharper with Marquand back on board.

Form: 65112-6

Fortune And Glory⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 75| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 69 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Possible he'll come forward from that run.

Form: 21150-9

Subliminal^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: S Dow| OR: 70| C

12/1

6-time course winner. Latest win here in March. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at this course (12f, AW) 13 days ago, slowly away. Significantly down in trip.

Forecasts

Flying West (9/4), Rhubarb Bikini (10/3), Crack Regiment (5/1), Kondratiev Wave (7/1), Accomplice (11/1), Colonel Whitehead (12/1), Subliminal (12/1), Fortune And Glory (16/1)

FLYING WEST progressed well as a 3-y-o, winning 3 times, and shaped as if she would come on for her return effort at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Re-united with Tom Marquand, she can be expected to go well from a 1 lb lower mark. Rhubarb Bikini and Colonel Whitehead, partnered by William Buick, head up the dangers.
