Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 53

80/1

Last of 6 in handicap (50/1) at Ffos Las (10f, good). Off 124 days. Makes tapeta debut and hard to fancy on what she's offered for this yard.

Form: 987-076

Boasted³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: K Frost| OR: 55

40/1

Hooded for first time, first run since leaving Julie Camacho when twelfth of 14 in handicap (200/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 38 days ago. Significantly up in trip, which isn't certain to suit.

Young Winston^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: J Mackie| OR: 55

4/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 31 days ago, met some trouble. One to consider.

Letter Of The Law³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 54

14/1

15/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 30 days ago, not much room. That run can be forgiven and he's a player on his placed efforts prior to that. Blinkers left off.

Chelsea Annie⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 52

18/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 20/1) 7 days ago, left poorly placed. That was a step back in the right direction.

Forecasts

Lhebayeb (7/4), Caracristi (9/4), Fly The Nest (7/2), Young Winston (4/1), Busselton (9/1), Letter Of The Law (14/1), Derrymore Boy (16/1), Chelsea Annie (18/1), Captain St Lucifer (20/1), Cendrillon (25/1), Mr Gambino (25/1), Boasted (40/1), Oriental Beauty (80/1)

LHEBAYEB fared as well as could be expected ridden patiently in a race in which the pace held up here a fortnight ago and on that evidence, she's capable of winning one of these. Caracristi's consistency is hard to knock and she's second choice, with Young Winston another to consider.
