Four wins from 17 runs last year. Runner-up on last 3 starts, beaten ½-length by the reopposing Ward Castle in 10-runner handicap at this course (12.1f, 4/1) 10 days ago. Thereabouts once more.
|
Not discredited when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 5/1) 41 days ago. On a workable mark so he's capable of making the frame as he drops back down in trip.
|
Latest win at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in March. However, not in the same form both starts since, fifth of 8 in handicap (9/4) at the same C&D 15 days ago. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces reapplied.
|
C&D winner in February. Has failed to make much of an impact in a trio of races since, though, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (16.5f, 12/1) 8 days ago.
|
Has returned to form on his last 3 starts, pulling clear of the rest when second of 11 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Shortlisted.
|
Ridden by Morgan Cole, off the mark in 10-runner apprentices handicap at this course (12.1f) 10 days ago by ½ length from Haven Lady, comfortably. Can follow up with this longer distance to suit.
|
Course winner. 9/2, ran well when second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (1m6f) 13 days ago. Can give his running again.
|
Form went the wrong way on the Flat in 2022 and down the field both outings on the level this year. Ran out in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft, 250/1) 5 days ago. Best watched.
|
Has offered little in varied events so far, merely passing beaten rivals when seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 150/1) 11 days ago. Up in trip but easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Ward Castle (13/8), Billy Bathgate (7/2), Haven Lady (5/1), Got Bright (13/2), Smokey Malone (8/1), Bascinet (10/1), Kitten's Dream (16/1), Bright Dawn (125/1), Smart Connection (200/1)
WARD CASTLE scored comfortably when getting the better of Haven Lady at this course 10 days ago and Marco Botti's 4-y-o can confirm the placings with this longer trip to suit. The pair look the two to focus on in this contest, though Billy Bathgate has been going through a good spell of late and completes the shortlist.
