Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 56| D

18/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Southwell in March. 12/1, sixteenth of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 34 days ago and the evidence suggests that he's a better horse on the AW.

Nurse Florence^h,t¹²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 63| D

16/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW), readily. Off 127 days and this 4 lb higher mark may prove a stumbling block now returned to turf with the hood refitted.

Form: 07-3251

Johnny Estella^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 62| BF

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Visor on 1st time and he's certainly not without hope.

Form: 83-72

Porth Diana¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Smart| OR: 48

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 13 days ago. Needs to raise her game.

Forecasts

Hail Sezer (11/8), Johnny Estella (9/2), Red Bravo (8/1), It Must Be Faith (10/1), Shaykhoon (11/1), Nearly A Gonna (12/1), Porth Diana (14/1), Nurse Florence (16/1), Dylan's Lad (18/1), Star Prize (25/1)

This represents a good opportunity for HAIL SEZER to deservedly open his account. An improved second on his final start of 2020, he has again found just one too good on each of his 2 starts switched to handicaps this year and remains relatively unexposed. Johnny Estella will be a threat if able to build on his latest effort now tried in a visor and the veteran It Must Be Faith also merits respect.
