Inexplicable^t,v⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 56| CD

22/1

5-time course winner, the latest over an extended mile 4 weeks ago. Not in sme form when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago but better showing not ruled out here.

Peroni²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 54

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Brighton (1m) 27 days ago. Needs to step up.

Dangerous Rascal^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 54

16/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 13 days ago, plugging on late. Reacted well to fitting of a visor previously so certainly no forlorn hope if first-time blinkers have desired effect on tapeta debut.

Form: 7-73708

(11)

Queen Of Ipanema^t²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| OR: 52| C

4/6

Promising sort. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (12.2f, 11/2) 2 days ago, easily. No surprise to see her out under a penalty and very much the one to beat.

Form: 8091

Costa Adeje^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 51

17/2

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 6/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 18 days ago. Overall record is rather in-and-out but he's a live player on pick of his form.

Captain St Lucifer^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 46

40/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Good third of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 20/1) 41 days ago. Tasted success from 3 lb higher on AW last winter and he's an each-way player.

Form: 560553

(8)

The King's Steed^t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S Lycett| OR: 45| CD

80/1

Course winner. Last of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Brighton (1m, good to soft) 27 days ago. Entitled to come on from that given it was his first start for 12 months and booking of Rossa Ryan catches the eye.

Form: 95559-0

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Riches| OR: 45

66/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 41 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

18/1

Blinkered for 1st time hooded for 1st time, produced best effort to date when fifth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Chelmsford (10f) 39 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame again with a repeat.

Forecasts

Queen Of Ipanema (4/6), Villalobos (5/2), Costa Adeje (17/2), Big Wing (12/1), Dangerous Rascal (16/1), Rumourmonger (18/1), Inexplicable (22/1), Captain St Lucifer (40/1), Mr Gambino (66/1), The King's Steed (80/1), Peroni (125/1), Tridevi (150/1)

QUEEN OF IPANEMA got off the mrk in impressive fashion on handicap debut over further here on Saturday and, with the ease in trip expected to hold no fears, she can defy a penalty and follow up. Fellow last-time-out winner Villalobos rates the chief threat, ahead of Inexplicable.
