(7)

Wiseacre^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 67

4/1

Fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 11 days ago. Down another 2 lb but couldn't be sure that he will benefit from this step up to a mile.

Form: 45-2864

Meng Tian^p1,h1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 67

7/1

Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 11/1) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and now equipped with cheekpieces and a hood. Vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 335745

Stepmother²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 64

150/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 7 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 03-47

(11)

Dubai Immo²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 63

10/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap (100/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 24 days ago. Back down in class and would be a live contender off this career-low mark were he to put his best foot forward.

Form: 2-28099

(10)

Eton College³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 61

10/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, second of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 31 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture but placed just once from 9 starts on the AW.

Form: 477-982

(8)

Daphne May¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 61| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in April. Fourth of 6 in handicap on the turf course here (11.6f, good to firm, 5/2) 11 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and she's in with a shout.

Form: 327134

(9)

Luna Queen³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Allen| OR: 60| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 9/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 33 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and she's likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 813065

(1)

Dourado^v⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 59| D

10/1

9/1, won 13-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 40 days ago. Remains on a workable mark up 4 lb and while he's not exactly an obvious type to follow up, this 9-y-o has to be respected.

Form: 04808-1

(6)

Galileo Glass^v¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans| OR: 58| BF| D

5/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Visor back on and now 2 lb lower compared to when going close over C&D in March.

Form: 642256

Beau Jardine^p⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 55| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (6f) 54 days ago. Significantly back up in trip on debut for new yard.

Form: 60-9974

Forecasts

Daphne May (11/4), Wiseacre (4/1), Galileo Glass (5/1), Meng Tian (7/1), Weloof (8/1), Eton College (10/1), Dourado (10/1), Beau Jardine (10/1), Dubai Immo (10/1), Luna Queen (22/1), Stepmother (150/1)

Dropping back in trip here is unlikely to inconvenience DAPHNE MAY, who is one of the more appealing candidates in a wide-open handicap. Galileo Glass is 0-12 on the all-weather but he went close here off a higher mark 3 starts back and is next on the list. Dubai Immo's recent efforts leave much to be desired but he is dangerous to discount having slipped to an attractive mark, while Wiseacre has form claims but this step up in trip is of dubious benefit.
