Kraka^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 55| D

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/1) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 035707

Makyon¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 53

16/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 80/1, possibly needed the run on first start since leaving Mark Johnston when ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Big step forward required.

Form: 557989

Strategic Fortune^p¹²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 51| D

5/2

First run since leaving J. F. O'Shea when last of 16 in handicap (22/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 122 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eoin Doyle. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 950-910

Chloellie²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 50| CD

3/1

5-time course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Below form fifth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 27 days ago, not clear run approaching 2f out. Not taken lightly.

Form: 650665

Macocha^b1,t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ciaran McKee| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 50

125/1

33/1, offered little on first run since leaving Eddie & Patrick Harty when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.

Tell'em Nowt^b,e/s,t⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52

10/3

17/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 4 days ago. Still early days for him with this yard so he merits consideration with Richard Kingscote taking over.

Form: 778054

Tawtheef^v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: P R Chamings| OR: 49

16/1

Ran no sort of race when tenth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 18 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind.

Form: 035740

(6)

Hidden Angel¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 47

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fared no better on first outing since leaving Archie Watson after 12 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 14/1) 13 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 0698-9

(11)

His Pride¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 48

17/2

18/1, much better than result when fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Makes polytrack debut. Enters calculations.

Form: 770324

(9)

Urban Highway⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

28/1

One win from 29 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. 66/1, ran better than for a while when fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, heavy) 8 days ago.

Form: 857785

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J Quinn| T: W J Knight| OR: 45

50/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 14/1) 42 days ago. Tough to see her featuring.

Form: 599698

(3)

Joli's Legacy⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Mitchell| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 46

12/1

13/2, never a threat when fifth of 6 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 42 days ago, hampered 2f out. Back up in trip. Others more appealing.

Form: 879725

(10)

Bay Beret⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 45

25/1

20/1 and blinkered for 1st time, not disgraced when fifth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 49 days ago. More needed back in handicap company.

Forecasts

Strategic Fortune (5/2), Chloellie (3/1), Tell'em Nowt (10/3), Dove Divine (9/2), His Pride (17/2), Joli's Legacy (12/1), Makyon (16/1), Tawtheef (16/1), Kraka (22/1), Bay Beret (25/1), Urban Highway (28/1), Hidden Angel (40/1), Kalimotxo (50/1), Macocha (125/1)

With most of these arriving out of form, TELL'EM NOWT is put forward as a tentative selection. It's still early days for him with Phil McEntee and, with Richard Kingscote taking over in the saddle, he's taken to belatedly get off the mark. The unexposed His Pride shaped much better than the bare result when fourth at Newcastle last time so he could provide the main danger, ahead of Chloellie.
