Chipiron⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 80| CD

5/2

9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 4-runner handicap at this C&D 40 days ago, just holding on. Nudged up just 1 lb, but this demands a personal-best.

Form: 740571

Al Kout⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 79| C

2/1

Course winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2019. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 13/2) 5 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 320025

Angel On High²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 78

17/2

14/1, last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this tapeta debut and she needs to raise her game.

Form: 27-4296

No Nay Bella^v1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 77

12/1

100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 15 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip and now tried in a visor, she's not without hope here off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 732680

Flamingo Rose^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 72

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Modest bumper winner. 11/8, second of 6 in minor event at Kempton (12f) 21 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 522

Atalanta Breeze^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 62

4/1

12/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 31 days ago. 0-6 on the AW, but she performed well when third on sole previous visit here last October and this 5-y-o merits respect.

Form: 8/123-84

Forecasts

Nadein (5/6), Al Kout (2/1), Chipiron (5/2), Atalanta Breeze (4/1), Angel On High (17/2), Flamingo Rose (9/1), No Nay Bella (12/1)

It's hard to look beyond NADEIN, who was just touched off by Valley Forge (subsequent winner of a valuable York handicap) at Ffos Las prior to landing the odds with minimum fuss in a Catterick novice. She makes her handicap debut off a potentially lenient mark and promises to be well-served by this step up in trip. Atalanta Breeze and No Nay Bella can fill the places.
