Bbob Alula^t,v²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: William Carson| T: W G M Turner| OR: 54| C

11/2

Untrustworthy individual. Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 8/1) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and more will be needed off this 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 260-101

Uther Pendragon^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 53| D

5/1

Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 11/4, third of 4 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again, but his AW strike rate (0-23) is off-putting from a win point of view.

Form: 043323

Too Shy Shy^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 52| C

7/2

Course winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. 1 lb lower now and could be about to snap her losing run.

Carmela Soprano⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47| D

16/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 12/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 7 days ago, met some trouble. Capable of making an impact off this mark, but she's rather in-and-out.

Form: 741609

Tawtheef¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P R Chamings| OR: 47

5/2

Won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/1) when last seen in December. Nudged up just 2 lb, it's not hard to envisage this 5-y-o playing a part in the finish here.

London^h⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 45

16/5

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1) 7 days ago. Now 0-10, but has shown enough to believe there's a race to be won with her and she's an each-way player.

Form: 0-07434

Dancing Jo^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: G Deacon| OR: 45| C

40/1

Course winner. Thirty-three runs since last win in 2019. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Will probably be found wanting once more.

Form: 40-0970

Blairlogie^p¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 45

80/1

Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. 66/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f). Off 115 days and significantly back up in trip. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0360-00

(4)

Dylan's Ruby^h²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

33/1

40/1 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 28 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 0-90080

Forecasts

Tawtheef (5/2), London (16/5), Too Shy Shy (7/2), Uther Pendragon (5/1), Bbob Alula (11/2), Carmela Soprano (16/1), Dylan's Ruby (33/1), Dancing Jo (40/1), Blairlogie (80/1)

TOO SHY SHY hasn't got her head in front for a while, but she's dipped to an attractive mark as a consequence and there were signs at Wolverhampton last time that her turn may be near. She is taken to confirm that impression here, with Tawtheef nominated as the main danger ahead of London. A 4 lb rise for his Brighton success may be enough to anchor Bbob Alula and while Uther Pendragon has been knocking on the door of late, it's hard to ignore the fact that he's 0-23 on the all-weather.
