Sunrise Valley⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 85

9/4

Won novices at Newmarket (7f) and Chelmsford (1m) last year. Made a respectable return to action when fourth in 1m Nottingham handicap in April and player if she can build on that now stepping up to 1¼m.

Form: 2119-4

(2)

Delta Bay³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 82

10/1

Lightly-raced winner. 14/1, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when seventh of 9 in handicap at Ascot (1m, good to firm) on reappearance 31 days ago. Up in trip. One of 2 runners from stable.

Form: 2/16-7

(4)

Lasting Legacy³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 78| D

9/2

Made a winning start for new yard in 1¼m Chelmsford handicap on return. Hasn't built on that since but this looks a bit less competitive than the Hamilton race she contested last time.

Form: 155-148

(5)

Aiming High^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: D M Simcock| OR: 79| D

2/1

Improved for the step up to 1¼m when making a successful handicap debut at Doncaster 24 days ago. Should be more to come from this well-bred filly now she's up and running and a 5 lb rise may not stop her.

Form: 75-21

(3)

Lyrical Lady^t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 71

9/2

Fair maiden. Good second of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Nottingham (1¼m, good) on reappearance 32 days ago. Likely to go well again.

Form: 08235-2

Forecasts

Aiming High (2/1), Sunrise Valley (9/4), Lyrical Lady (9/2), Lasting Legacy (9/2), Delta Bay (10/1)

AIMING HIGH is very much unexposed at this sort of trip and can improve again and make it 2-2 in handicaps. Sunrise Valley is entitled to step up on her reappearance run at the end of April and can provide the chief opposition to David Simcock's charge.
