Hotspur Harry^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Eddery| OR: 62| D

7/2

One win from 22 Flat runs. 11/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Worth chancing from a lenient mark.

Form: 340-437

Lenny's Spirit^t,v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 58| BF

10/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to City Escape in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 15/8) 9 days ago, doing too much too soon. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 476614

14/1

Seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/2), unable to sustain effort. Off 105 days. Up in trip. Others make more appeal.

22/1

11/2

First run since leaving Michael Bell when last of 4 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 60 days ago. Visor back on. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 50

11/1

One win from 25 Flat runs. 17/2, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago. Carries penalty. Not an obvious sort for the follow up.

Form: 566271

Thunder Flash¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54| D

5/2

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 4/1) 14 days ago, better placed than most. Not taken lightly.

Form: 12275-4

(2)

Channel Packet^p⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby| OR: 50| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 11/1) 5 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 384-675

(10)

Chifa¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 50

7/1

7/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 12 days ago, slowly away. Handicapped to win and should stay this far, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 0770-72

(5)

Tanglewood Tales^p1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

40/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good, 20/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Needs headgear to perk him up.

Form: 8005U0

Forecasts

Thunder Flash (5/2), Hotspur Harry (7/2), Your Love Is King (11/2), Chifa (7/1), Lenny's Spirit (10/1), City Escape (11/1), Channel Packet (12/1), Raihaan (14/1), Jerriais (22/1), Tanglewood Tales (40/1)

HOTSPUR HARRY didn't shape too badly at Windsor 9 days ago and he's on an appealing mark, so he's worth chancing in a trappy race. Lenny's Spirit should give another good account and, if Chifa has no problem with the trip, he should take a hand in the finish, too.
