Calypso^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 77

5/2

Promising individual. 8/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, firm) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Can make presence felt with step back up to 1m rating a plus.

Form: 932-33

9/4

Made most of good opportunity to land cramped odds in 5-runner Ripon maiden (1m) 2 starts back and not disgraced when fifth in handicap at Haydock (1m) since. No forlorn hope.

Form: 20-2315

Hale End^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 74| CD

16/5

1 win from 3 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 9/4) 13 days ago, driven clear. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 553-341

Bohemian Breeze^v1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 73

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 7 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Visored for 1st time.

Form: 224-67

Nightout^p,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63

13/2

Maiden who ran up to best when third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, stumbling under 1f out but keeping on. This tougher back up in class but he remains unexposed at this trip.

Form: 330-033

Magicdollar¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 63| D

18/1

Solid start to the year on AW when landing pair of 1m handicaps at Newcastle in January/February. Not in same form when fifth of 7 in handicap back there (7f) in March but given a break since and he remains low-mileage on turf.

Form: 55-1215

Lunacy^t1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

18/1

8/1, 7¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Hale End in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time now but others make greater appeal.

Form: 5490-84

Forecasts

Indiana Be (9/4), Calypso (5/2), Hale End (16/5), Look Back Smiling (6/1), Nightout (13/2), Bohemian Breeze (12/1), Magicdollar (18/1), Lunacy (18/1)

CALYPSO seemed unsuited by the emphasis on speed but ultimately shaped well when running on for third at Haydock (7f) 3 weeks ago and, remaining with potential, not least back at 1m, he could be the answer. Hale End impressed when running out a ready winner of a C&D handicap 13 days ago and a 10 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again. Indiana Be completes the shortlist.
