Lord Clenaghcastle⁶⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 55| D

33/1

Fairly useful handicapper at best but looked regressive when last seen 22 months ago and has it all to prove on first run for yard after leaving Gary Moore.

Florence Street^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Rooke| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 54

2/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Seemed suited by front-running tactics when third at Salisbury on penultimae start but was well held at Kempton (8f) 26 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 785538

Clashaniska^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 53| C

11/4

Course winner. Latest win at Chepstow in August. 7/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago, just failing. Significantly back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously despite regular slow starts.

Tridevi^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 52

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Disappointing in handicaps and was last of 13 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Tough to fancy.

Winner here in May. 5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 7 days ago. Solid place claims again in this company

Little form since finishing placed at Kempton in February and remains hard to fancy from much-reduced mark,

Homemade Andrea⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R Eddery| OR: 45

9/1

Twelve runs since shock win at Wolverhampton last year. Largely below best recently and others are preferred, despite now racing from basement mark.

Forecasts

Florence Street (2/1), Clashaniska (11/4), Essme (11/4), Admodum (11/4), Luscifer (6/1), Homemade Andrea (9/1), Shenzhen Subway (20/1), Lord Clenaghcastle (33/1), Tridevi (40/1), Fitzy (100/1)

CLASHANISKA has generally held his form since scoring at Chepstow last month and looks the one to beat here. Admodum and Essme also arrive here in form and look the only serious threats in a race where the majority look hard to fancy.
