Croachill²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 82| D

13/2

Winner at Doncaster (3-runner race over this trip) almost a year ago and generally held form since. Type to make a better 4yo and well worth monitoring in the betting on return.

Form: 21236-

(1)

Wynter Wildes^p1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| OR: 81

11/1

Fairly useful sort who is on a fair mark and should come on for his return when fourth at Chelmsford. A good pace would be ideal and she's not one to dismiss.

Form: 21480-4

(6)

Lady Eros¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 81

12/1

Wolverhampton novice who has hit the frame on both subsequent outings, improving when second in a handicap at Lingfield 175 days ago. More to come up in trip, and deserves respect.

Form: 2142-

(8)

Chips And Rice²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 73| D

9/2

First run since leaving Chris Wall and 2/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 25 days ago. Likely to do better for this yard and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 61242-1

(4)

D Day Odette^t⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 73| D

12/1

Scored at Lingfield in January but found good run of form coming to a halt there last time. Needs to bounce back and mark requires improvement. Return to this trip should help.

Form: 468-134

(7)

Peace Of Mine^h³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| OR: 82| D

9/4

Lightly-raced 3yo who doubled her tally in a 6-runner handicap at Nottingham 38 days ago. Could have more to come.

Form: 152-1

(9)

Double March³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 80

11/1

Off the mark at Southwell last October and made a reasonable reappearance when fourth in a handicap there. Should get the longer trip but others have more scope for progress.

Form: 321-4

(5)

Dubai Crystal²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: N Callan| T: K R Burke| OR: 80| D

10/3

Bred to be smart and left previous efforts well behind when making all in good style at Redcar in April. Handicapper hasn't been lenient but there's probably more to come.

Form: 2-61

Silver Nightfall⁶⁰

Weight: 8-7| Age: 3

T: Miss Gay Kelleway J: A J Farragher

Forecasts

Peace Of Mine (9/4), Dubai Crystal (10/3), Chips And Rice (9/2), Croachill (13/2), Silver Nightfall (15/2), Double March (11/1), Wynter Wildes (11/1), D Day Odette (12/1), Lady Eros (12/1)

CHIPS AND RICE finished to good effect as she made a winning debut for James Fanshawe and, with more to come, she's marginally preferred to Peace of Mine, who arrives on the back of a successful handicap debut at Nottingham. Lady Eros also merits consideration.
