11/4

Won 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 11/4) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Only nudged up 1 lb so likely to be bang there.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: S L Keightley| OR: 65| D

20/1

Back to form with a bang when comfortable winner on AW here 10 days ago. Raised 8 lb but he retains plenty of handicapping scope on old form.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 64

Dark White³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan| T: P Phelan| OR: 60

50/1

Modest maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 18/1) 30 days ago. Still relatively unexposed but he'll need to find improvement.

Malvern^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 60| BF

12/1

Only seventh of 10 in blinkers here last time but claims on his Leicester third prior to that.

Form: 00-7737

Sir Roderic^v¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Williams| T: B R Millman| OR: 60| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Close second at Chepstow on penultimate start and ran well enough to suggest he's still in form when fourth at Newbury since.

4/1

Thirty runs since sole win back in 2018. 9/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good to soft) 29 days ago, but others are preferred for win purposes again.

Form: 27-6543

Forecasts

Rectory Road (11/4), Moxy Mares (4/1), Galactic Glow (9/2), Six Til Twelve (9/2), Sir Roderic (9/2), Porterinthejungle (5/1), Malvern (12/1), Ivadream (12/1), Fox Leicester (20/1), Dark White (50/1)

RECTORY ROAD has gone up only 1 lb for her Yarmouth run and might be capable of following up on his first outing for James Ferguson. The hat-trick seeking Porterinthejungle rates an obvious threat, while Fox Leicester was quite useful at his best so still rates a player despite being stuck up 8 lb for his recent AW success.
