Ray's The One^b1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 67

28/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft, 22/1) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on first time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 289/451-

Carlos Felix¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 66| BF

2/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 7/4, good second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12f) 16 days ago, conceding first run. Significantly up in trip. Shortlist material.

Form: 7856-22

Gold Souk^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Joshua Bryan| T: D Steele| OR: 65| D

13/2

Successful over 9.5f at Wolverhampton last September and comes here on the back of a pair of 2m handicap hurdle wins this spring. Clearly in good heart but perhaps no good thing to stay this far on the Flat.

Form: 236010-

Reeceltic^v⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 61| D

9/2

Won over 2m at Lingfield in March. Creditable third over a shorter trip there since. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 60-2413

(8)

Easy Equation¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 59

10/1

Fair maiden. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Up to 2m now.

Form: 4659-85

(2)

Chivers¹²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 55

100/1

Out of sorts over fences in late-2021. Gold Souk much more the obvious of the yard's pair.

Form: 480119/

Hiconic³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: A M Hales| OR: 55| D

12/1

Four-time juvenile hurdle winner in summer 2020. Made quite an encouraging return from an absence when sixth over 2m on AW Flat at Lingfield a month ago. Entitled to strip fitter for run. Player.

Form: 78503/6

(3)

Cinzento^p,h⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 49| C

22/1

Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Below form sixth of 10 in classified at Southwell (12f, 13/2) 55 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 5-14156

(1)

Charlie's Yard^p1¹⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 45

3/1

Didn't achieve much on the Flat/over hurdles for Emmet Mullins in Ireland but worth a precautionary betting check with Hollie Doyle doing the steering on this first outing for a new stable.

Form: 00700-

Forecasts

Carlos Felix (2/1), Charlie's Yard (3/1), Reeceltic (9/2), Gold Souk (13/2), Easy Equation (10/1), Hiconic (12/1), Cinzento (22/1), Ray's The One (28/1), Chivers (100/1)

CARLOS FELIX has recorded two good runner-up efforts since returning to action in recent months and may be capable of going one better if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip. Hiconic is interesting with a recent comeback run under her belt and is feared most ahead of the consistent Reeceltic.
