Mythical²³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 97

40/1

50/1, tailed-off last of 14 to Georgeville in listed race at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien and a tough one to assess on handicap debut.

Form: 0306/30-

March Law^p1²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 89

13/2

Useful performer but has just a 2-runner novice to his name and has failed to fire this term. First-time cheekpieces may well perk him up, though.

Form: 532-085

Matchless³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: I Furtado| OR: 87

10/3

Back-to-back winner over 10.2f at Doncaster in the spring. Another sound effort from revised mark when fourth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Newmarket (12f, good) 37 days ago.

Form: 444114

Charging Thunder^p1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| CD

5/4

C&D winner. 14/1, good second of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 15 days ago. Looked a little bit awkward in the process so cheekpieces may help in that regard.

Form: 210-222

Indigo Times^h²⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Theodore Ladd| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 85

40/1

Seven wins from 20 Flat runs. 13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good). Off 8 months. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving David Simcock.

Form: 168127-

King Francis¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78| BF

11/4

Reappearance winner at Kempton in April. Good second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 15/8) 18 days ago and an obvious player from same mark.

Form: 0/54-142

Forecasts

Charging Thunder (5/4), King Francis (11/4), Matchless (10/3), March Law (13/2), Mythical (40/1), Indigo Times (40/1)

KING FRANCIS had no chance with an upwardly-mobile rival at Chelmsford 18 days ago but it was still another very good effort and from the same mark, he looks very dangerous. Charging Thunder and March Law are both equipped with cheekpieces for the first time and they head the opposition.
