Louie de Palma²⁵⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 87| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 33/1, below form fifteenth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) when last seen in September. Resumes on a very attractive mark and is one to be interested in.

Form: 4/47090-

(9)

Zhui Feng^v1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: T Ward| OR: 86| C| D

8/1

Course winner. Latest win at Kempton in February. Sixth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Goodwood (7f, soft) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time and chance perhaps depends on whether the headgear perks him up.

Form: 0-15056

Indian Creak²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 85| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (6f, heavy). Off 7 months and others make greater appeal from a win perspective.

Form: 617096-

Able Kane^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 85| D

9/4

3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 14 days ago, well positioned. 5 lb rise fair enough and needs considering with Oisin Murphy booked.

Form: 110-221

(6)

A Sure Welcome^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Tate| T: J L Spearing| OR: 84| D

7/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) recently. Broadly consistent and placed on 4 of his 5 previous visits here. Each-way shout providing the ground isn't slow.

Form: 6231-41

(5)

Eye Of The Water¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: R Harris| OR: 78| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 11/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Place possibilities.

Form: 22445-5

(4)

Gellhorn^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| OR: 78

13/2

Tongue strap on, first run since leaving D. Smaga when sixth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Ascot (6f, soft) on UK debut 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Merits consideration.

Form: 18660-6

(1)

My Style^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78| D

20/1

13/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 28 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 11240-8

(8)

Michaels Choice^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Jarvis| OR: 73| D

18/1

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 11/4) 28 days ago, hampered. This demands a career-best.

Form: 04818-4

Forecasts

Able Kane (9/4), Louie de Palma (11/2), Gellhorn (13/2), A Sure Welcome (7/1), Eye Of The Water (15/2), Zhui Feng (8/1), Indian Creak (9/1), Michaels Choice (18/1), My Style (20/1)

LOUIE DE PALMA has spent the lion's share of his career contesting higher-grade handicaps than this and, assuming all is well back from an 8-month break, he could take some stopping off this reduced mark. French-recruit Gellhorn didn't shape at all badly on debut for new yard at Ascot and is next on the list. Recent Leicester winner Able Kane and A Sure Welcome are others to consider.
