6/1

Came good at the seventh time of asking in 5f maiden at Bath (5f, good to firm) last August. Off since. Went close off this mark at Ascot last summer. One to consider.

Hooked On You²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 74| BF| D

7/1

Winner of 6f Pontefract novice on return in April. Only sixth of 7 in handicap back there since but yard's very good form in recent days provides hope for better this time.

Form: 637-16

(9)

King Of Jungle³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 73| BF| D

4/1

Won on on 6f Kempton debut in February. Similar form when fourth at Wolverhampton next time. Seemed unsuited by the drop to 5f on Thirsk handicap debut latest and should be seen to better effect back at 6f. Player.

Form: 146

(10)

Lady Raeburn³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73

14/1

Lightly-raced winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Ripon (6f, heavy) on reappearance 33 days ago. May strip fitter for the run but she needs more from this mark.

Form: 2531-7

(3)

Dora Penny^t1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: P D Evans| OR: 72| D

13/2

Three wins from 9 runs in 2021 but hasn't been shaping as if another success is imminent in 3 outings this year. William Buick up but others still preferred.

Form: 354-538

(6)

Miss Calculation^p³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: R Menzies| OR: 70| D

11/1

Cheekpieces on first time, below form sixth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Ripon (6f, heavy) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 434-546

(2)

Fantasy Navigator^h1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R Ffrench| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice at Chelmsford (7f, 50/1) on reappearance 12 days ago. Hood on first time. More realistic chance now handicapping.

Form: 864-9

Forecasts

Aristobulus (7/2), King Of Jungle (4/1), Tyson (6/1), Helvetique (13/2), Dora Penny (13/2), Hooked On You (7/1), Miss Calculation (11/1), Lady Raeburn (14/1), Minnamoolka (33/1), Fantasy Navigator (50/1)

KING OF JUNGLE was unable to land a testing blow on his 5f Thirsk handicap debut last month but he ought to be seen to better effect back up at 6f and gets a tentative vote in this open 3-y-o handicap. Reappearing trio Aristobulus, Helvetique and Tyson may give Ed Walker's charge most to do.
