Moulin Booj^h⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: George Scott| OR: 61| D

4/5

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 days ago, comfortably. Serious chance under a penalty.

Reve De Magritte⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: E De Giles| OR: 62

3/1

8/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Le Lion-d'Angers (7f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Back down in trip and the market should offer clues with regard to expectations surrounding this French import on debut for new connections.

Form: 4-45654

Exquisitely¹²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 65

16/1

Tenth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (5f) when last seen in April/final run for K. R. Burke. Bit to prove on the back of that effort starting out for new yard here but she would be a live contender off this reduced mark if able to match the pick of her 2-y-o form.

Form: 6323-30

Rhubarb⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R J Price| OR: 53| BF| D

10/3

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 43 days ago. All 4 turf wins gained on good or faster but she appears to handle cut in the ground and needs taking seriously in a race of this nature.

Forecasts

Moulin Booj (4/5), Reve De Magritte (3/1), Rhubarb (10/3), Exquisitely (16/1)

RHUBARB is now 5 lb below her last winning mark and, though 0-9 so far this year, she could be the answer. Richard Price's charge is marginally preferred to Moulin Booj, who did the job well on the all-weather last week and will be a serious threat if able to back that up now returned to turf. Exquisitely has a bit to prove but is on an appealing mark based on her 2-y-o exploits and may be a bigger threat to the aforementioned duo than French import Reve de Magritte.
