Epic Express³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 66| CD

14/1

Won over C&D in April but has struggled from higher marks both starts since and will likely need a couple of these to falter.

Form: 13-6167

(4)

Must Be Royale²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 62

6/1

Good second over C&D on return and confirmed that form when third at Kempton earlier this month. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 20 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Not taken lightly.

Form: 425-237

(3)

Smitten^h1³⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S Donohoe| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 59

40/1

Only modest form in a trio of maidens last year for P. & F. Monfort. Needs to have found significant improvement to defy this mark on stable/handicap debut.

Form: 898-

Hi Ho Silver⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁷⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 57| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Respectable 6½ lengths third of 9 to Epic Express in handicap (16/1) on return at this C&D (good to firm) 65 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 40810-3

(10)

Lelabad^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR: 65

7/2

Beaten only a nose in C&D handicap on return and ran respectably when fifth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Claims.

Form: 8600-25

(5)

Silver Kitten¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65| CD

40/1

C&D winner ended last season out of sorts and has ran poorly all 3 starts this term, so has it all to prove now,

Form: D40-606

(9)

Heer's Sadie⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 55| C

18/1

Course winner. Last of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (6f) 57 days ago. Shaped as if in need of run on return and is now below last winning mark, but others remain more persuasive.

Form: 31556-7

(7)

Night Traveller¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| BF

14/1

Disappointed on first run since leaving Chelsea Banham when fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 16 days ago. Probably needs bit more respite for handicapper.

Form: 58-6645

(12)

Cubanista^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 59

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Credit efforts both starts this season, fourth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 7/2) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Still low mileage and merits consideration.

Form: 576-34

(8)

Clipsham Gold¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 57

9/4

Placed both starts for new yard, collared only in dying strides when second of 12 in handicap (11/4) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 8700-32

(13)

Kraka^v¹⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45| C| D

66/1

Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Ended last year out of sorts and looks tough to fancy with visor back on.

Form: 6568-08

(11)

Clement Danes¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 54

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, offered something to work on third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago. May benefit from further in time but can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 8-673

(1)

Sonny Brown^v1¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

125/1

No sign of ability to date and looked temperamental last time.

Form: 00-8969

Forecasts

Clipsham Gold (9/4), Lelabad (7/2), Cubanista (6/1), Must Be Royale (6/1), Clement Danes (7/1), Night Traveller (14/1), Epic Express (14/1), Heer's Sadie (18/1), Hi Ho Silver (25/1), Smitten (40/1), Silver Kitten (40/1), Kraka (66/1), Sonny Brown (125/1)

CLIPSHAM GOLD has made a fine start in defeat for Kevin Philippart de Foy and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark here. Must Be Royale can bounce back quickly, whilst Cubanista and Lelabad remain with some potential in handicaps.
