Wiley Post^b³⁰⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft). Off 10 months, but couldn't rule out given that he resumes on an attractive mark.

Form: 556355-

Street Parade^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 60| D

5/2

Seventh of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Bath (5.7f, good) 20 days ago. Runner-up over the minimum trip there nine days earlier and a reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture.

Form: 74-8827

Kath's Toyboy²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: M Murphy| OR: 58| BF| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Below form third of 8 in handicap (2/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 26 days ago. Needs considering.

King Crimson²²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 53| CD

10/1

Four-time C&D winner, but only thirteenth of 16 in handicap (40/1) at Bath (5f, good) on final start of 2021 and this veteran is opposable back from a seven-month break.

Form: 123470-

Hope Springs^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Boyle| OR: 46

13/2

Very good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 25/1) 14 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would give her a fighting chance.

Form: 9-67703

(2)

Swell Song^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 45

10/1

Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. 20/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 4338-66

Forecasts

Kath's Toyboy (2/1), Street Parade (5/2), For Peat's Sake (7/2), Wiley Post (9/2), Hope Springs (13/2), King Crimson (10/1), Swell Song (10/1)

FOR PEAT'S SAKE's five runs on turf haven't yielded success, but he is appealing here nonetheless off a reduced mark in a race which is not quite as competitive as those he is typically accustomed to. Kath's Toyboy was a shade below par last time, but he's pretty reliable on the whole and should be in the mix. Hope Springs will also be a threat if backing up her recent C&D effort and Wiley Post is not without hope either.
