Atheby^h1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: M Blake| OR: 75

100/1

First run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when last of 9 in handicap (150/1) at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut and hooded for 1st time. Others preferred.

Form: 41830-9

(6)

Young Fire^v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| C| D

13/2

Course winner. Thirty runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago, never nearer. Lurking on a dangerous mark and he's not discounted.

Form: 443-496

(7)

Bond Boy^v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Last of 6 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 6/1) 5 days ago. Back up in trip and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 115356

(2)

Visibility⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 74| CD

6/1

Four-time course winner. Four wins from 25 runs last year. 3/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 5 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back up in trip and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 424205

Misty Ayr^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74

16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and should have a part to play in the finish.

Form: 0769-43

(5)

Plumette²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 72| CD

7/2

Five-time course winner. 16/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (7.2f) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and while she's clearly in good form, this assignment demands another personal best.

Form: 096-121

(10)

Roscioli^p1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A M Balding| OR: 68

4/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. 6/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and couldn't rule out.

Form: 05-3553

(8)

Pangloss²²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 68| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Off 7 months but performed well over this C&D back from a break last March and he's certainly not without hope.

Form: 321878-

(3)

Cailin Saoirse¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 62| C

25/1

Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 15/2) 10 days ago. Up in trip and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 114-319

(4)

Victoria Falls^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 62| CD

11/1

Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (2/1) 14 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb nudge fair enough but more will be needed if she's to follow up in this deeper race.

Form: 230-651

Forecasts

Plumette (7/2), Pangloss (4/1), Roscioli (4/1), Visibility (6/1), Young Fire (13/2), Victoria Falls (11/1), Bond Boy (12/1), Misty Ayr (16/1), Cailin Saoirse (25/1), Atheby (100/1)

A chance is taken on PANGLOSS, who was too free when below par at Kempton on his latest start but he is feasibly treated judged on last spring's form, which includes a cosy success in a C&D novice, and he will have every chance if settling this time. Misty Ayr should appreciate returning to this trip having stayed on into third over 7f here last time and she is next on the list ahead of Roscioli and Young Fire.
