Rafiot²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 77| C| D

18/1

Latest win at Southwell in January and back to form when staying-on fifth at Lingfield last time. Course winner in the past but he's reliant on a strong pace kept to this distance.

Form: 1-31665

Zuba⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 77| D

13/8

In good form this spring, runner-up at this track either side of a win over hurdles at Plumpton. One to note under a good-value claimer.

Form: 703-822

Jazz Party^t1⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 75| BF| D

12/1

Progressive on first 3 starts, winning at Kempton in July, and may well have found the trip stretching him at Chelmsford on return. Not written off back in distance with tongue tie applied.

Form: 4/21-5

(9)

Genesius¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 73| D

7/2

Fairly useful form for Julie Camacho last season and shaped as if he'd come on for the run when only fourth at Brighton on reappearance. Very much one to consider.

Form: 52316-4

Frozen Waters⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

12/1

Still relatively unexposed and made a creditable, albeit rather laboured return when third at this course 7 days ago. Could benefit from the longer trip, so warrants consideration.

Form: 4522P-3

(4)

Running Cloud³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 70| D

18/1

Won twice at Wolverhampton in 2020. Made a respectable return to action when fourth on fast turf at Bath (11.5f) 39 days ago. Capable off this mark but needs things to drop right.

Form: 02128-4

(2)

Berrahri¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best| OR: 70| D

22/1

Becoming well handicapped and may have needed the run at Yarmouth 10 days ago, so not one to dismiss under the most experienced rider.

Form: 657-735

(7)

Bug Boy²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 65| D

13/2

Made all at Bath in May, then did well under the circumstances when third having been left poorly placed at Kempton last time. Solid claims back on turf.

Form: 9-03213

(8)

Epic Pass²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jane Elliott| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77

9/1

Has gone backwards from a positive reappearance but still lightly raced and may benefit from quicker ground than last time.

Form: 51-284

Forecasts

Zuba (13/8), Genesius (7/2), Bug Boy (13/2), Epic Pass (9/1), Frozen Waters (12/1), Jazz Party (12/1), Rafiot (18/1), Running Cloud (18/1), Berrahri (22/1)

ZUBA is in top form and has the assistance of a promising claimer, so he's narrowly preferred to Genesius, who should strip fitter for his stable debut at Brighton recently. Frozen Waters is relatively unexposed, so he's another one to consider in an open race.
