7/2

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 14 days ago. Likely to give it another good go minus cheekpieces.

Wolverhampton winner in October. Cheekpieces on for first time (left off here), last of 7 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Expected to step up on that.

11/2

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 4/1) 16 days ago and she's a pretty reliable proposition at this level.

Form: 531434

Cavalluccio^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 63

9/2

Winner at Southwell in March. 3/1, very good second of 8 in handicap back at that venue (8.1f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip and hasn't been the sort to hold his form for long.

Form: 00-6712

Kentucky Kingdom⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 63| CD

9/4

Three-time C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 3/1, good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, just failing. Expected to be bang there from the same mark.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 62| D

9/1

Fifth of 7 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Still 2 lb above last winning mark.

Divination⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: K Jewell| OR: 62

20/1

Seventh of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Kempton (12f) 43 days ago. Still looked green on that occasion so potential for better now handicapping.

Form: 0-57

(2)

Boudica Warrior²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 58

40/1

14/1 and blinkers on for first time over obstacles, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Plumpton (17.8f, good to firm). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Amy Murphy.

Forecasts

Kentucky Kingdom (9/4), The Bay Warrior (7/2), Cavalluccio (9/2), Princess Nieve (9/2), Hashtagmetoo (11/2), Kenilworth King (7/1), Mc'ted (9/1), Divination (20/1), Boudica Warrior (40/1)

KENTUCKY KINGDOM is 4 lb below his last winning mark and served notice that he's ready to cash in when runner-up over C&D a week ago, just failing. He makes plenty of appeal, with Kenilworth King and The Bay Warrior potential threats.
