8/1
Modest gelding. 13/2, won 13-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. No easy task on these terms, but merits respect all the same.

2/1
Modest gelding. 9/4, won 8-runner minor event at this C&D 14 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Chloellie, keeping on. 3 lb rise fair enough and likely to be on the premises once again.

14/1
Modest filly. Good second of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (6f), no match for winner. Off 107 days. Worth another crack at this trip and she's in with an each-way shout.

Temperamental sort. One win from 24 Flat runs. Sixth of 8 in minor event at this C&D (66/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Best to look elsewhere.

200/1
150/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Fakenham (16f, soft) on NH debut 36 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor, too (0-12 on the Flat), and she's readily passed over.

10/1
Modest gelding. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 40/1) 15 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap back on. No more than an each-way squeak.

Modest gelding. Good ½-length third of 13 to Royal Heart in handicap (17/2) at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Others more persuasive.

9/4
Modest filly. Course winner in February. 10/11, below form fourth of 10 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 7 days ago. Better than she was able to show on that occasion and bold show anticipated.

Forecasts

Arlo's Sunshine (2/1), Western Music (9/4), The Game Of Life (8/1), Royal Heart (8/1), Chloellie (17/2), Sword Exceed (10/1), Embla (14/1), Ballyvil (33/1), Ocean Wilde (66/1), Show Me Now (125/1), Paige's Raptor (200/1)

Verdict

Things didn't go WESTERN MUSIC's way here last week and she is taken to resume winning ways. The 4-y-o was strong at the finish when opening her account in a 6f handicap here three starts back and will have no problem with this step back up in trip. Arlo's Sunshine got the better of the re-opposing Chloellie over C&D last time and is feared most ahead of recent Kempton scorer Royal Heart.
