Bedazzling^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 53

20/1

Has finished down the field all 4 starts this year, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 9/1) 14 days ago. Application of cheekpieces needs to spark a revival.

Form: 73-6907

(6)

Chattel Village^b,t1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 58

28/1

Has gone the wrong way since his first 2 starts, last of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Back down in trip with tongue strap now reached for.

Form: 2776-86

(7)

Montelusa^b³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

4/5

Fair colt. Ran to similar level as on his reappearance when second of 4 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, soft, 15/2) 3 days ago. Sets the standard in this contest and can land his first victory.

Form: 3335-42

(8)

Silks Graphite^b1,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 59

13/2

Followed good run with a below-par one when fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy, 4/1) 14 days ago. Merits consideration with blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 075-424

(1)

Carry On Aitch³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 55

11/2

After 7 months off, always behind when last of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f, 80/1) 33 days ago. Had run well on her final outing last year, though.

Form: 66463-7

(4)

Heart Of Sofia⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50

12/1

Offered little after 6 months off when tenth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 150/1) in February. Much more needed.

Form: 08-0

(9)

Insolente^p,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies| OR: 58

8/1

After 3 months, first run since leaving Alice Haynes when below-par fifth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy, 9/2) 14 days ago. However, could fare better with cheekpieces now back on.

Form: 4-77455

(2)

Loveliest³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: G Lee| T: Ollie Pears

66/1

After 8 days off, fared no better than on debut when ninth of 10 in minor event at Catterick (7f, heavy, 150/1) 34 days ago. Drop back in trip not enough to tempt.

Form: 79

(5)

Maddisonelle¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: Mrs A Duffield

125/1

Well held both starts last year, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 200/1) on second occasion. Makes little appeal after 6 months off.

Form: 00-

(10)

Mystical Dreams^b1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 46

28/1

Struggling for form since her first start of the year, eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 11/2) 42 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.

Form: 0-37488

Forecasts

Montelusa (4/5), Carry On Aitch (11/2), Silks Graphite (13/2), Insolente (8/1), Heart Of Sofia (12/1), Bedazzling (20/1), Chattel Village (28/1), Mystical Dreams (28/1), Loveliest (66/1), Maddisonelle (125/1)

MONTELUSA proved consistent last year and, having finished runner-up on his second outing of the current campaign, he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Tim Easterby's colt sets the standard in this contest, though Silks Graphite could bounce back in first-time blinkers and is feared most, ahead of Insolente.
