Kondratiev Wave^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56

9/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, third of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Down another 2 lb and would have a serious chance if returning to something like his best.

Form: 9-56903

Lucky Mascot^e/s1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 54

25/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 840266

Voodoo Ray^b⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 46| CD

4/1

7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago by ¾ length from Ravi Road, always holding on. Shade more needed under a penalty but likely to give it a good shot.

Form: 9342-81

Heer's Sadie²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 50| CD

9/1

7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. 4 lb rise not the end of the world but this looks more competitive.

Form: 054071

(8)

No Turning Back²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 49

16/5

Bit below form fourth of 12 in minor event (7/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 24 days ago. Good C&D second on penultimate start (sole run on turf to date) and she'll be a player if backing that up.

Form: 78-4024

(7)

Hector Loza^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 48| D

14/1

Ninth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 20/1) 15 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and now 6 lb below last winning mark but was safely held all 3 visits to this course in 2022.

Form: 4857-69

(3)

Bold And Loyal^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: N Callan| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 47| BF

8/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm, 5/2) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly back down in trip and definite each-way chance.

Form: 829224

(2)

Ravi Road^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46

5/1

6/1, good ¾-length second of 9 to Voodoo Ray in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Enjoys a 5 lb pull at the weights with that penalised rival and she's a big player with Tom Marquand booked.

Form: 38477-2

Rainbow Sign^t⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 45| D

50/1

11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 63 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 960538

Apache Jewel²⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 45

25/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Fifth of 6 in claimer at Leicester (7f, heavy, 16/1). Off 8 months and needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Forecasts

No Turning Back (16/5), Voodoo Ray (4/1), Kondratiev Wave (9/2), Ravi Road (5/1), Bold And Loyal (8/1), Heer's Sadie (9/1), Hector Loza (14/1), Lucky Mascot (25/1), Apache Jewel (25/1), Rainbow Sign (50/1), Plymouth Rock (50/1)

Just as they did over C&D last week, RAVI ROAD and Voodoo Ray are taken to fight out the finish. The latter emerged on top that day but it could be a different outcome this time given that Ravi Road is 5 lb better off having been beaten less than a length by Gary Moore's charge. The booking of Tom Marquand adds to the selection's appeal. No Turning Back is unexposed on turf and is third choice, while several of others would be dangerous off their present marks if able to scale a revival.
