33/1

Ran better than on her seasonal/stable debut when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 66/1) 11 days ago, though wasn't going that well when meeting some trouble. Others more persuasive.

Form: 737/8-77

Wallaroo^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 55

15/2

After 9 weeks off, again well below form when eighth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this course (10f, AW) 21 days ago. However, he's capable if on a going day as he drops back down in trip.

Form: 547-478

Inverinate^v³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jefferson Smith| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 59| BF

10/3

After 6 months off with visor on 1st time, not discredited when fourth of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Newcastle (1m) 32 days ago. Strong in the betting both starts in handicaps, so could yet do better having been gelded.

17/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy, 11/1) 32 days ago. Had run well here (7f, AW) on return, though, so could get back on track with visor now the choice of headgear.

Essme¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 45| CD

14/1

Sole win came at this C&D in May last year. After 6 months off, last of 12 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good to firm, 25/1) 11 days ago. Ended 2022 out of form, but she does now lurk on a dangerous mark.

Take My Breath⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: K Jewell| OR: 49

50/1

Forecasts

Bantry (15/8), Inverinate (10/3), Wallaroo (15/2), Cloud Queen (17/2), All Dunn (17/2), Olivia Mary (10/1), Blue Collar Lad (12/1), Repartee (12/1), Essme (14/1), Angel Of Antrim (18/1), Pull The Lever (22/1), Bluebells Boy (28/1), Global Romance (33/1), Take My Breath (50/1), Darlo Pride (80/1)

ALL DUNN has enjoyed a productive campaign already this year, winning 3 times and finishing in the frame on his last 4 starts, so he is taken to continue his good run of form and record another victory. Heading the list of dangers is Bantry, who made an encouraging seasonal/stable debut when runner-up at Chepstow last month, while Inverinate also merits consideration.
