9/1

Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5f, heavy) on reappearance 19 days ago. May strip fitter for the run. Much respected.

Recon Mission⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 80| D

10/1

Good runner-up efforts at Epsom (5f, heavy) and Lingfield (6f, AW) last month. Should go well again.

Mulzim²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 79| D

20/1

Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. Likely needed the run when sixth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Yarmouth (5f, heavy) on reappearance 28 days ago, never nearer. Starting to look well handicapped.

Form: 06100-6

So Smart¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 79| D

13/2

One win from 25 Flat runs. Narrowly denied on Yarmouth reappearance but not in the same form when well-held fourth at Windsor (5f, heavy) since.

Form: 2680-24

11/1

C&D winner. Better than result when seventh of 16 in handicap (40/1) at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 24 days ago, travelling well long way.

Form: 086-807

(5)

Fantasy Master^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 76| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago. One to consider from an unchanged mark.

Form: 6133-72

Maxzeno^t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Appleby| OR: 72

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Leicester (6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Much less exposed than most of these.

Form: 922-25

Han Solo Berger^v¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 68| D

16/1

Returned in good form, winning at Southwell and second at Yarmouth (both 5f) last month. Another who can't be discounted in this open sprint.

Form: 4664-12

Showalong¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

10/3

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 10 to Reigning Profit (won again since) in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 14/1) on reappearance 19 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that.

Form: 09699-2

Forecasts

Fantasy Master (2/1), Showalong (10/3), So Smart (13/2), Lil Guff (8/1), Lipsink (9/1), Recon Mission (10/1), Maxzeno (11/1), Jojo Rabbit (11/1), Han Solo Berger (16/1), Mulzim (20/1)

Several possibilities in this sprint. LIPSINK ran well on his Windsor reappearance last month and is narrowly preferred to Recon Mission and Fantasy Master.
