Jenever⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 54| C| D

1/1

Course winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 9/4) 7 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 132521

Stallone^b³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman| T: M Dods| OR: 54| D

16/1

11/2, won 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 36 days ago. Snapped a long losing run on that occasion, however, and he's not an obvious sort for the follow-up.

Form: 639441

Ecclesiastical⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson| OR: 51| D

4/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, below form thirteenth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 58 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving T. G. McCourt. Worth monitoring in the betting on debut for shrewd yard.

Form: 30-0630

8/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts again.

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 36 days ago. Should give another good account.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 48| D

Enchanted Night^p⁹

50/1

Forecasts

Jenever (1/1), Ecclesiastical (4/1), The Tron (7/1), Tantastic (8/1), Stallone (16/1), Howyadoin (18/1), King Of Europe (18/1), Loveliest (25/1), Captain Corcoran (25/1), Mutabaahy (28/1), Enchanted Night (50/1), Quanah (50/1), Thakrah (50/1), Beechwood Hugh (125/1)

LOVELIEST took a step forward when runner-up at Thirsk 8 days ago and, with more to come, she gets the nod ahead of recent winner Jenever. The Tron has plenty of experience over this C&D and is another one to consider.
