Enough Already¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: George Downing| T: L Carter| OR: 77| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 7/1) 19 days ago. More on his plate off this 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 44-8591

Mostawaa^b⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 75| D

10/3

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 9 days ago, well positioned. Can make his presence felt here off the same mark.

Form: 7477-63

(2)

Nasim²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| D

20/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 22 days ago. One to consider from an each-way perspective.

Form: 751484

Micks Dream^p1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 72

9/2

Creditable second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at this course (7f, good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 2048-52

(6)

Poetic Force²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in March. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (7f, good, 11/2) 21 days ago. Looks vulnerable on balance.

Form: 714666

(3)

Darvel^v¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 69| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 11/1) 19 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip. Place possibilities.

Form: 410-075

Roman Dynasty⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Parr| OR: 67

13/2

One win from 26 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2020. 11/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 77 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drop back in trip here should help.

Form: 6700-65

(5)

Otago¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 67| C

5/1

Latest win here in April. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 10 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Others more persuasive on this occasion.

Form: 254-218

Forecasts

Mostawaa (10/3), Micks Dream (9/2), Enough Already (9/2), Otago (5/1), Darvel (6/1), Roman Dynasty (13/2), Poetic Force (12/1), Nasim (20/1)

Preference is for MICKS DREAM, who put in a good shift when runner-up over 7f here last time and both the return to this trip and the addition of cheekpieces should help. Mostawaa looks dangerous on the back of a solid recent effort at Hamilton and he is second choice ahead of Nasim.
