Annakonda^t1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: P Leech| OR: 43

100/1

22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time now but she's hard to fancy.

Form: 48/6698

Embla⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| OR: 49

15/2

Filled runners-up spot for third consecutive time in similar company at Southwell (7f) in March and far from disgraced when fourth of 13 back at that venue (6f) in April, plugging on. One to bear in mind despite the wide draw.

Form: 7922-24

Lethal Angel^v1³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 44| C

25/1

Course winner who wasn't disgraced when midfield in a 12-runner Kempton handicap (7f) in March but took backward steps in 2 subsequent outings. Visor replaces cheekpieces on yard debut and further ease in class rates a plus.

Form: 208680

Monaadhil^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47

8/1

Twenty six runs since last win in 2017. 14/1, good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, well positioned. Possibilities with a repeat for all he's not so well drawn on this occasion.

Form: 5497-42

Powerful Hero¹⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 40

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden who arrives on the back of a disappointing ninth of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (1m) in February. Booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye on first start since but would need to see market support to make him of interest.

Form: 890-449

(11)

Praying Mantis^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 53

40/1

Dual 1m winner on turf for Andrew Kinirons in Ireland last year. Below best on AW earlier this year but possible she will come on for first start for 3 months/yard debut when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (1m) 24 days ago.

Form: 64-5000

(10)

Pyrrhos^p,t1¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Hunt| OR: 43

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Tom Ward. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 80060-

Cape Cornwall Rose¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 50

17/2

Awtaad filly who showed more than previously when third in 5-runner Wolverhampton novice (6f) in November. Below that level in handicaps this spring but this ease in grade a plus and she's worth another crack at 7f.

Form: 803-85

(5)

Kelapa²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: E J Walsh| T: J Parr| OR: 50

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 13 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 21 days ago, short of room over 1f out but keeping on. Possible she can do better still at this sort of level.

Form: 890-6

(12)

Rockade²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: S Kirk| OR: 49

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 8 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 86-098

(2)

The Charmer^h²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 48

7/2

Hooded for 1st time, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. No forlorn hope back on all weather.

Form: 000-724

(8)

Villalobos²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes| OR: 47

9/4

£58,000 purchase as a 2-y-o who again showed little on back of 7 months off/being gelded when ninth of 14 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) 25 days ago. However, this much more suitable and booking of Buick catches the eye.

Form: 60-9

Forecasts

Villalobos (9/4), The Charmer (7/2), Kelapa (4/1), Embla (15/2), Monaadhil (8/1), Cape Cornwall Rose (17/2), Sirius White (12/1), Luscifer (12/1), Powerful Hero (22/1), Lethal Angel (25/1), Praying Mantis (40/1), Pyrrhos (80/1), Annakonda (100/1), Rockade (100/1)

A decidedly trappy contest with the tentative vote in favour of CAPE CORNWALL ROSE. She's yet to kick on in handicaps over 6f having shown some promise in novice events but this ease in grade should help and she remains low-mileage. The Charmer, Embla, Kelapa and Luscifer head up an exhaustive shortlist of threats.
