Regulator^t⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 52| D

5/4

10/3, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 4 days ago, forging clear. Greatly respected under a penalty.

Form: 0-37421

(8)

The Warrior¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carson| T: L Carter| OR: 56| D

16/1

Unreliable type. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm, 16/1) 14 days ago. May well be on the premises once again, but he's hardly a frequent winner.

Form: 413062

Pour La Victoire^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

9/1

Three-time C&D winner. 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted.

8/1

Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2019. 12/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Hedging^v¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 54| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 9/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago, not clear run. Visor back on.

Form: 4-65250

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Ryan Tate| T: A West| OR: 48

28/1

9/2

Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip and not without each-way hope.

Forecasts

Regulator (5/4), Finvarra (9/2), Hedging (9/2), Mostallim (5/1), He's Our Star (8/1), Pour La Victoire (9/1), The Warrior (16/1), Millicent (20/1), Favoured Destiny (28/1)

Though he isn't necessarily an obvious type to follow up, the claims of REGULATOR are by far the most compelling in this field. Indeed, he did the job well under similar conditions at Chepstow on Friday and a reproduction of that will make him hard to beat under a penalty. A winner over 7f here on his penultimate start, Mostallim is second choice ahead of Pour La Victoire.
