Whispering Song²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 82| D

15/2

15/2, career best when winning 9-runner novice at Chelmsford (7f) in November. Off 7 months. This lightly-raced sort should have more to offer in handicaps this year. Very interesting to see how she goes in the betting.

Form: 7651-

Billy Mill²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: B R Millman| OR: 81| C| D

7/2

Course winner. 17/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (1m) 21 days ago, finishing well. This consistent sort should be in the shake-up again.

Form: 335033

Tiempo Star²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 81

11/2

Winning reappearance at Chelmsford in April. Well beaten back on turf at York since but 2-2 on AW and could fare better this time. Respected.

Form: 1/586-10

(5)

Shigar²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| D

10/3

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good, 11/2) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Won previous AW start and remains low mileage for a leading stable.

Form: 4/412-54

Barging Thru^b1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: A Watson| OR: 79| D

14/1

Latest win at Chelmsford in March. Fifth of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 841455

G'daay^v1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: J Parr| OR: 79| D

50/1

Sixth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Visor on first time. Draw tricky. Others are preferred.

Form: 155-666

Zero Carbon²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 78| D

11/2

7/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Back on a good mark and has 2 wins, a second and a third to show from his 4 previous outings on AW. Could make presence felt.

Form: 023-065

Lunar Space²²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 77| D

150/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021 and below par when last seen at the end of 2022. Likely it's best to look elsewhere.

Form: 7/00000-

Makeen²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 75| D

6/1

Good third of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 9/2) 27 days ago, finishing with running left and looking unlucky. Shortlist material.

Form: 3040-93

(2)

Blue Flame²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| BF| D

20/1

5/2, first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 20 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Return to 7f in his favour. One to note in the betting.

Form: 43762-5

(4)

Windsor Pass²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 72

18/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Last of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 25 days ago, losing all chance with a slow start. Others more persuasive.

Form: 70/2440

(8)

Moai⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: I Furtado| OR: 69

150/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 66/1) 42 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Shigar (10/3), Billy Mill (7/2), Zero Carbon (11/2), Tiempo Star (11/2), Makeen (6/1), Whispering Song (15/2), Barging Thru (14/1), Windsor Pass (18/1), Blue Flame (20/1), G'daay (50/1), Moai (150/1), Lunar Space (150/1)

This is competitive. MAKEEN very much caught the eye at Newmarket last time and gets the vote but there are plenty of possible dangers, headed by Zero Carbon, Tiempo Star and Shigar, who all boast good form on AW so could appreciate the return to an artificial surface. It will also be fascinating to see how much strength there is in the betting behind the returning lightly-raced novice winner Whispering Song.
