16/1

66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 17 days ago. Looks to have lost his way.

Form: 3763-79

Meleri¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 69| D

4/1

10/1 and hooded for first time, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm). Off 6 months and still 6 lb above sole winning mark.

Form: 812457-

Golden Dove³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Simon Earle| OR: 69

7/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 33 days ago. Certainly wasn't winning out of turn and she's shortlist material from 3 lb higher back on turf.

Form: 43-3231

Warhol²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 69

3/1

Down in the weights and back on track when second of 9 in handicap at Epsom (12f, heavy, 8/1), running on. Off 7 months and market may guide as to fitness.

Form: 959702-

Geelong²⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 68

6/1

Another sound effort when third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f). Off 8 months. Down in trip. Enters calculations given he's gone well fresh in the past.

Form: 6/36543-

Remedium^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 59

40/1

25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but hard to be confident about him despite falling mark.

Form: 09049-9

Mr Zee⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 54| D

6/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 10/1) 82 days ago, going off too hard. That run easy to excuse and he's now below last winning mark.

Form: 9840-40

Albus Anne¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 53

15/2

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/1). Off 6 months. Up in trip, which could suit on run style but needs to cut out the tardy starts.

Forecasts

Warhol (3/1), Golden Dove (7/2), Meleri (4/1), Mr Zee (6/1), Geelong (6/1), Albus Anne (15/2), Pavlodar (12/1), Change Of Fortune (16/1), Remedium (40/1)

GOLDEN DOVE scores plenty of points for consistency and a 3 lb rise for a last-time-out win at Kempton last month should be within range. Geelong has gone well fresh and he can emerge as the chief threat, while the market may guide as to Warhol's well-being.
