Lisdarragh³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 56| D

11/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 12/1) 32 days ago. Might strip fitter for that and he's on an appealing mark.

Form: 218/67-6

Seattle King^b¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 54| CD

15/8

9/2, won 13-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 11 days ago, well ridden. 3/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (11.9f, good) 1 day ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Back down in trip and highly respected if turned out again.

Form: 626214

Star Of St Louis⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 51| D

5/2

Ninth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 57 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Quinn. Best watched unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 418-179

Sun Festival^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 48

6/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable 4½ lengths seventh of 13 to Seattle King in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 550757

Global Style¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

12/1

Two wins from 52 Flat runs. Bit below form 6 lengths eighth of 13 to Seattle King in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago, met some trouble. Not completley dismissed.

The Lion Strikes⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 46

6/1

9/1, first run since leaving Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch when eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 47 days ago. Could make more impact with fitness assured now.

Form: 59539-8

Gokotta^p⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Poulton| OR: 45

33/1

80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (12f) 70 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 076/0-69

Our Boy Sam¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 45

16/1

22/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago, not clear run. Up in trip. Looks rather limited.

Form: 800-760

Cape Cornwall Rose^h³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 45

20/1

Ninth of 11 in juvenile hurdle (66/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut 36 days ago. Hood back on. Doesn't make much appeal returning to the Flat.

Form: 00640-5

Forecasts

Seattle King (15/8), Star Of St Louis (5/2), Asense (4/1), Sun Festival (6/1), The Lion Strikes (6/1), Lisdarragh (11/1), Global Style (12/1), Our Boy Sam (16/1), Cape Cornwall Rose (20/1), Gokotta (33/1)

SEATTLE KING scored over C&D recently and may well be able to repeat the feat in a thin race, having had an excuse here on Tuesday. Asense and Sun Festival were both behind the selection 11 days ago but the former didn't have a hard race and looks the main danger.
