Tricolore^b1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 81| CD

7/1

Successful twice in C&D handicaps from marks in 70's last year but not operating at best of late, well held on turf when ninth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good) 6 days ago. Still, blinkers may have positive effect back on AW now.

Form: 72-7569

Precision Storm³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 80| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, better than bare result when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 34 days ago, headway when no room last ½f. Expected to give a good account.

Form: 3-42260

Daheer^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 80| CD

8/1

5-time C&D winner. 5/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, sticking to task. Expected to feature again.

Form: 146751

Equion²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 77

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/5, improved further when second of 5 in minor event at this course (8.6f) 26 days ago, edged left over 1f out but running on. Return to further will hold no fears now handicapping and interesting what the market makes of him.

Form: 0-32

Fitwood Star³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 76| CD

6/1

3-time C&D winner who shaped much better than bare result when sixth of 8 over 12f here in March (finished with running left having had no room to open up). No show on turf at Newbury since but bounce back not ruled out returned to an artificial surface.

Form: 11/1-660

(4)

Carey Street²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 74| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 5/1) 26 days ago.

Form: 12-5218

Greek Flame⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 73| BF| CD

11/4

Better for debut in November when off the mark in a C&D novice in December, scoring with more authority than the bare margins imply. Raced freely and below that level at Newcastle in February but switch to handicaps rates a plus now and she's still low-mileage.

Form: 41-3

Plumette¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73| CD

14/1

Proving better than ever this year, winning 7/8.6f handicaps here and only edged out dying strides at Beverley (8.5f) 17 days ago. Mark understandably creeping up again but foolish to rule out in present groove.

Form: 6-31312

(8)

Natchez Trace^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 70

13/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 9527-54

(6)

Crackling³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: S Dixon| OR: 64

50/1

33/1, 2 lengths sixth of 8 to Daheer in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, no extra final 1f having been well positioned. Others make more appeal on balance.

Form: 654606

Forecasts

Greek Flame (11/4), Precision Storm (11/2), Fitwood Star (6/1), Natchez Trace (13/2), Tricolore (7/1), Daheer (8/1), Carey Street (12/1), Plumette (14/1), Equion (14/1), Andaleep (25/1), Crackling (50/1)

DAHEER enhanced his excellent record around here when scoring over C&D 31 days ago and, running off a lower mark allowing for his rider's claim, he could well be up to going in again. Plumette is enjoying a fine time of things and is feared along with Fitwood Star, back on all-weather, and low-mileage filly Greek Flame.
