Hoornblower²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 72

11/1

Fair form on first 3 starts on AW but has gone the wrong way since, not looking at all straightforward when last of 10 in maiden at this course (1m) 4 weeks ago. Takes a marked step back in trip now.

Form: 3/62750

Sir Sidney Smith

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead

80/1

Bated Breath gelding. Dam winner up to 6f. Likely he'll be better for the run.

Bussento^p²⁵

1/9

Fairly useful gelding who ran up to best when second of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f) 2 starts back. Not in same form at Ascot since but this rates a good opportunity for him to get off the mark.

Mma Ramotswe²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon

25/1

Once-raced filly. Attracted support but ultimately offered little when last of 7 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 3/1) in January, slowly away and always behind. Absent since and this ought to reveal a good deal more.

Form: 7

Back Tomorrow

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R Spencer

14/1

Rajasinghe filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Blue Collar Lad. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). One to note in the betting for clues on debut.

Form:

Lady Gazelle¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox| T: H J Evans

33/1

Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 28/1). Off 145 days. Hooded for 1st time but she rates a likely type for low-grade handicaps further down the line.

Form: 77

Hedenham

Forecasts

Bussento (1/9), Hoornblower (11/1), Back Tomorrow (14/1), Hedenham (20/1), Mma Ramotswe (25/1), Lady Gazelle (33/1), Sir Sidney Smith (80/1)

This looks an excellent opportunity for BUSSENTO, who has shown more than enough in 3-y-o handicaps to think a race of this nature is within reach. Newcomer Back Tomorrow and Hoornblower can do battle for minor honours.
