Silver Bubble⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 56| D

11/1

Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 33/1) 44 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip and, now 1 lb below last winning mark, she's not written off.

Form: 31-6765

(3)

Gautrey²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 27 days ago, very slowly away. Sizeable step forward needed now switched to turf.

Form: 5000

(10)

Big Jimbo⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 53| D

7/1

Winner at Kempton in February. 13/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Likely to be on the premises.

Form: 5/31225

(11)

Street Jester⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: L P Keniry| T: W G M Turner| OR: 49| CD

33/1

C&D winner. 33/1, first run since leaving Robert Stephens when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (13f, good) 7 days ago. Bit to prove.

Form: 53142/9

(13)

Molliana^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 48| D

6/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Les Landes (12f, firm, evens) 12 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and she's one to consider.

Form: 42-3541

(9)

Uther Pendragon^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 47| C

22/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 10 in minor event (22/1) at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, merely closing up late. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 307754

(2)

Susanbequick⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 46

12/1

Good sixth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (10.2f, good) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 00-8536

(1)

Rita Rana^h1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 46

8/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good, 9/2) 20 days ago. Could have a part to play with Billy Loughnane booked, if the first-time hood has the desired effect.

Form: 62-8965

(4)

Ladypacksapunch¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 46

14/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in minor event (9/1) at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Still, she is not discounted back in handicap company.

Form: 750237

(6)

Goodison Girl¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

125/1

Last of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good, 33/1) 15 days ago. Back down in trip and she's readily passed over.

Form: 6706-56

(14)

Dee's Dream^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 55

9/2

Good second of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 18 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Attwater and cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations.

Form: 667672

(5)

Pfingstberg³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 52

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm, 9/4) 34 days ago. Possibilities if able to build on that here.

Form: 0-963

Forecasts

Pfingstberg (3/1), Dee's Dream (9/2), Molliana (6/1), Big Jimbo (7/1), Rita Rana (8/1), Cornish Storm (10/1), Silver Bubble (11/1), Susanbequick (12/1), Bobby Kennedy (12/1), Ladypacksapunch (14/1), Uther Pendragon (22/1), Street Jester (33/1), Gautrey (66/1), Goodison Girl (125/1)

None of these look particularly solid and PFINGSTBERG could be the answer. He took a step forward when third on his handicap debut at Yarmouth last month and wouldn't need to improve much on that bare form to get seriously involved in a race of this nature. Ladypacksapunch will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward, while Dee's Dream is respected on the back of her creditable Windsor effort and Rita Rana is dangerous to discount off this reduced mark.
