Dark Design^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: H Spiller| OR: 55| D

4/1

17/2, shaped better than result when fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago, doing too much too soon from wide stall. Draw has been kinder this time. Shortlist material.

Form: 76-2245

(5)

Toplight²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| C

7/1

Four-time course winner, the latest over 5f in March. 18/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago but respected back here.

Form: 123218

(6)

Catesby⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| CD

9/1

C&D winner in March. 7/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6f) since.

Form: 500-715

(13)

Another Angel^v¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 54| CD

12/1

Won 9-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago under 5 lb claimer Mark Winn. Should remain competitive from his revised mark but the widest stall isn't ideal.

Form: 462931

(10)

May Remain¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 54| CD

11/1

On a course hat-trick after wins over this trip and 5f in recent weeks. Much respected in his current mood.

Form: 832711

(7)

Aikido^e/s¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 54| D

12/1

Unreliable individual. Back to winning ways at Southwell in March but no surprise that she wasn't in the same form back there since.

Form: 574819

(3)

Fristel¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 53

13/2

Remains a maiden after 16 starts. Bit below form 3½ lengths fifth of 9 to Another Angel over C&D (9/2) 17 days ago, a slow start not helping. Respectable third at Lingfield prior to that.

Form: 9-37435

(4)

Pandemic Princess²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: C Wallis| OR: 53| D

33/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 66/1) 28 days ago, left poorly placed after another slowish start. Needs to break on terms.

Form: 67-8884

(9)

Griggy^b⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 52| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (6f) 41 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Form: 4-07374

(11)

Billian^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: P A Kirby| OR: 51| CD

5/1

Runner-up 3 times this year prior to belatedly gaining a second career success in 9-runner C&D classified event 4 weeks ago. Another to consider.

Form: 4-72221

(12)

Gharbeyih¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 48

40/1

Well-held fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Less exposed than most of these rivals but she needs improvement to play a prominent role.

Form: 7347-54

(1)

Sympathise^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 48

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Paul George when close second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago. Needs to show she can back that up now.

Form: 0/57-2

(8)

Arlecchino's Gift²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M D I Usher| OR: 47| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 17/2, 5½ lengths fifth of 10 to May Remain in C&D classified event 28 days ago.

Form: 78-9005

Forecasts

DARK DESIGN has fared a lot better with the draw here than he did at Lingfield last time and is selected to resume winning ways. The hat-trick seeking May Remain and last-time-out C&D scorer Billian are also on the shortlist.
