Twice As Likely¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes| OR: 50| C| D

5/2

Course winner. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft, 6/1) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Has to be taken seriously from this mark.

Perfect Symphony^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: M Pattinson| OR: 49| BF| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable third of 10 in minor event (3/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago, faring best of those held up. Enters calculations.

Form: 034323

Tarseekh^b¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: C Wallis| OR: 49| D

9/1

Showed good speed from his outside draw when fourth of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) 15 days ago, weakening final 100 yds. Not taken lightly.

Form: 4-87424

(8)

The Chain¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 51

12/1

Form: 69-5067

(3)

Breakaway²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 51

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, failed to progress when fifth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 045

(11)

Rodney Le Roc^h1,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J R Best| OR: 46

18/1

Unreliable sort. 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 15 days ago. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Capable if his mind is firmly on the job.

Form: 608-805

(2)

Amnaa^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 46| D

11/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Best effort of the season when second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft, 4/1) 16 days ago, clear of rest. In the mix.

Jungle Boogaloo^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: P J McBride| OR: 45

15/2

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 22/1, failed to come on for recent run when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 862705

Rubee Forty¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

10/1

11/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Should be suited by less testing conditions so is interesting on polytrack debut.

Form: 046584

Lady Susie^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 45

40/1

Forecasts

Twice As Likely (5/2), Amnaa (11/2), Perfect Symphony (6/1), Bartat (7/1), Jungle Boogaloo (15/2), Tarseekh (9/1), Breakaway (9/1), Rubee Forty (10/1), The Chain (12/1), Rodney Le Roc (18/1), Petesorse (33/1), Lady Susie (40/1)

Those at the top of the weights look the ones worth focusing on here, with TWICE AS LIKELY getting the nod to come out on top. Richard Hughes' charge wasn't seen to best effect last time and having dropped to a career-low mark, he's taken to get back to winning ways. Perfect Symphony, Tarseekh and Amnaa look the most likely dangers, in that order.
