Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Has had a few excuses lately, so not completely written off.

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/2) 24 days ago, left with too much to do. Not discounted.

C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 24 days ago, not clear run. Tongue strap on 1st time. One to consider.

17/2
C&D winner. 3/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 43 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Back to a potentially lenient mark and third track suits him really well.

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. 15/2, first run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when seventh of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago, not knocked about. Tricky customer.

Blinkered for 1st time hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner minor event at Leicester (6f, good, 7/1) 15 days ago. Far from certain to be in the same form.

Won 11-runner handicap at this course (6.1f, 9/2) 9 days ago. Remains well treated under a penalty, so deserves plenty of respect despite his poor strike rate.

Forecasts

Marwari (16/5), Scale Force (8/1), Babe Alicious (8/1), Bernard Spierpoint (17/2), Dan De Light (10/1), Gustav Graves (11/1), Louis Treize (11/1), The Tron (12/1), Man On A Mission (12/1), Country Charm (12/1), Spanish Angel (16/1), Iesha (16/1), Qaaraat (18/1), Notre Maison (33/1)

Verdict

BERNARD SPIERPOINT shaped better than the result at Lingfield 43 days ago and might well have been saved for this given his C&D record, so he gets the nod ahead of Marwari, who carries a penalty for his win over 6f here 9 days ago. Scale Force also merits respect.
