20/1

Fair gelding. 15/2, fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 85 days ago, not ideally placed. Blinkers/tongue strap back on and not ruled out.

Course winner but last of 5 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not dismisssed if able to shrug off latest effort.

Form: 439585

(3)

Song of The Isles⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 78| CD

2/1

C&D winner but only sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 9 days ago. Very much favoured by these weights, however, so the one to beat.

Form: 1117-06

(5)

Embolden^v¹²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 65| D

5/2

Fair gelding. Modest sixth of 9 in claimer at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) on final run for Luke McJannet. Needs to get back on track for new stable.

Form: 02100-6

(6)

Voltaic^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joshua Bryan| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 63

7/1

One win from 21 Flat runs but creditable third of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 16/1) 18 days ago. Unreliable individual on the whole, though.

Form: 0344-03

(7)

Bombastic²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P D Evans| OR: 59| BF| D

5/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020, and only ninth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 3/1) 23 days ago. This is easier, but he still needs to show more.

Form: 057029

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: L A Dace

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at this course (6f, soft) 12 days ago. Up in trip with work to do.

Form: 0-7

Forecasts

Song of The Isles (2/1), Embolden (5/2), Bombastic (5/1), Poetic Force (11/2), Voltaic (7/1), Dark Phoenix (20/1), Executive (150/1)

A weak claimer in which SONG OF THE ISLES looks to have an excellent opportunity at the weights to add to her C&D success. Poetic Force is another with winning course form and rates the chief threat, while Dark Phoenix is not taken lightly either now the headgear goes back on.
