Devizes²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 62| CD

1/1

Four-time C&D winner who made light of a 14-month absence to add to his AW tally at Kempton last month. A 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.

Form: 54/127-1

(6)

Crazy Maisie⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 59

7/2

In good form on AW at the start of the year, including second over C&D in February. Probably worth ignoring her down-the-field effort on Huntingdon hurdle debut at the end of March. Respected.

Form: 250-242

(1)

Divination¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: K Jewell| OR: 59

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap on 1¼m Chelmsford handicap debut 19 days ago. Needs to leave that behind now stepping back up in trip.

Form: 0-577

(3)

Stormingin^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 55

14/1

Unreliable individual. Two Chelmsford wins this year but not on a going day back on turf at Brighton latest.

Form: 3-01319

(2)

Uther Pendragon^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Emilie Hasselbalch-Holm⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 52| C

22/1

Course winner. 10/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 675430

(8)

Kanuhura³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhiain Ingram| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 51

11/1

Unreliable sort. Bit below form third of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford (1¼m) 33 days ago. Others arrrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 3486-03

(5)

Persian Wolf^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: P S McEntee| OR: 49

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Brighton (1¼m, good) 17 days ago but had been in decent form on AW prior to that. Back up in trip.

Form: 654220

(4)

Gearing's Point³⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: George Bass| T: Miss S West| OR: 45

18/1

Modest maiden for Mick Channon in 2022. Yard has enjoyed success with recruits from same source before but she's been off for 11 months and watching brief has to be the percentage call.

Form: 0/67967-

Forecasts

Devizes (1/1), Crazy Maisie (7/2), Persian Wolf (11/2), Kanuhura (11/1), Stormingin (14/1), Gearing's Point (18/1), Uther Pendragon (22/1), Divination (33/1)

DEVIZES looked better than ever when returning from an absence to win at Kempton last month and a 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him at a venue which suits him well. Crazy Maisie has been knocking on the door on AW this year and can follow the selection home ahead of Persian Wolf.
