6/1

7-y-o who, refitted with a tongue tie (retained here) resumed winning ways at Bath (11.6f) in April, leading over 1f out and eased final 100 yds. 4 lb higher mark to contend with in a stronger race now but he's no forlorn hope with a repeat.

Form: 23-3271

Oriental Art²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 69

4/1

Yet to get his head in front but found just one too good on three occasions last season, including over C&D. Gelded, shaped as if he'd come on for last month's Newbury return and he's worth bearing in mind.

Leroy Leroy^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 69| BF| D

8/1

Losing run is mounting up but fit from hurdling, he's ran creditably in handicaps at Windsor/Brighton in recent weeks, no match for a course specialist at latter-named venue latest. Blinkers again the headgear of choice.

Form: 5424-42

New Heights¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 67| D

3/1

Better for return when runner-up at Windsor (10f) 5 weeks ago and well served by switch to positive tactics when scoring at Sandown (9f) 17 days ago, proving willing in front. Can make her presence felt again from 2 lb higher.

Form: 338-521

Meadram²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 66

9/4

Dual winner of AW handicaps (at 9.5f) last autumn and signed off with good second at Bath (10f) in October. Solid efforts in defeat so far this spring and likely he has more to offer back on turf. One to consider.

Form: 0112-35

Andaleep^t³⁵

15/2

Three career victories all gained at Sandown for Graeme McPherson, the latest in July of last year. Struggled for different yards subsequently but joined a stable enjoying a good season, so interesting if market vibes are positive from his much-reduced mark.

Form: 55-7500

A dual winner on AW last year, MEADRAM caught the eye when third on return at Lingfield in April. Best not judged too harshly on his latest effort at that venue, he appeals as being on a workable mark returned to turf and could be worth siding with back on turf. Sandown-scorer New Heights and Oriental Art are others to consider.
