4/1

Twenty-one runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 553784

La Roca Del Fuego²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: G Deacon| OR: 77| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Latest win here in April. Good third of 20 in handicap (28/1) at York (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Unlikely he'll be far away.

Form: 140143

Lipsink^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: N Callan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 77| D

4/1

66/1, bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, going off too hard. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 00-0088

(5)

Lynns Boy²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 75| D

4/1

Winner at Southwell in March. First run since leaving Denis Quinn when last of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 132360

(9)

Son And Sannie¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 74| CD

7/1

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in May. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago. Each-way chance if on-song.

Form: 814205

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: P Crate| OR: 72

28/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving William Knight and likely to come up short once again.

Form: 4-68498

(6)

The Princes Poet⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good, 5/1) 63 days ago, slowly away. Needs to get back on track, but he's 2-4 here and couldn't rule out off this career-low mark.

Form: 00-2509

(1)

Just That Lord³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd| T: S Hodgson| OR: 68| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 10/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Chance on old form, but this 9-y-o essentially looks vulnerable.

Form: 7-67456

(3)

Coronation Cottage¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 60| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Claims judged on placed efforts behind the progressive Rhubarb at Chepstow last month.

Form: 7-27234

Forecasts

Lipsink (4/1), Treacherous (4/1), Lynns Boy (4/1), La Roca Del Fuego (13/2), Son And Sannie (7/1), The Princes Poet (17/2), Just That Lord (9/1), Coronation Cottage (14/1), Harb (28/1)

A chance is taken on THE PRINCES POET, who scored twice over this C&D last summer and was runner-up on his reappearance here in April. He hasn't come close to matching that performance in three subsequent starts, but the handicapper has given him a chance and the fact that his yard is in such good form also augurs well. Coronation Cottage perhaps found conditions too testing at Ffos Las recently and she is second choice ahead of Treacherous and La Roca Del Fuego.
