12/1

33/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Visor on 1st time and would be a danger to all if able to scale a revival.

18/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 6/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Yard also is represented by Paymaster.

28/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 28/1) 15 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time and hopes pinned on the new headgear working the oracle.

Form: 366088-

Louis Treize^h,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 52| BF

11/2

Unreliable type. 11/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving James Evans when bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, finding little. Others preferred.

Form: 86677-5

Papas Girl²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Christian Howarth| T: J S Moore| OR: 51| CD

11/2

Won 14-runner handicap at this C&D (22/1) 26 days ago by neck from The Tron. Nudged up just 1 lb and should be in the mix once more if able to back that performance up.

Form: 596501-

(1)

The Tron^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Morgan Cole| T: D Shaw| OR: 46

16/5

Good neck second of 14 to Papas Girl in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Deserves to get his head in front and it wouldn't be any great surprise were this to be his day.

Form: 328342-

Paymaster¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Miss Georgia King⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

100/1

Creditable fourth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (66/1) 13 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Now 0-12 and will probably find a few too good once again.

Form: 366074-

Forecasts

The Tron (16/5), Jeans Maite (9/2), Louis Treize (11/2), Papas Girl (11/2), Glorious Charmer (9/1), Rockett Man (12/1), Gossip (14/1), Astrophysics (18/1), Miss Seafire (20/1), Brandy Station (20/1), You're Cool (28/1), May The Sixth (28/1), Helmora (40/1), Paymaster (100/1)

A deserved first taste of success may be on the cards for THE TRON, who was just touched off by Papas Girl over this C&D last month and a 1 lb pull gives him every chance of turning the tables on that rival. While Papas Girl is respected, it remains to be seen if she will be able to back that up and a bigger threat could be posed by Jeans Maite, who was a solid second back here last time.
