Revolucion^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: J Parr| OR: 62

4/1

Good third at Chelmsford (6f) 24 days ago on his penultimate outing but unsurprisingly wasn't in the same form switched to turf at Newmarket 12 days ago. Return to AW is a positive but wide draw means others make greater appeal.

Form: 242-839

Oriental Spirit^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W S Kittow| OR: 59| D

6/4

Wasted no time getting back to form when third of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Expected to be bang there with return to AW certain to suit.

Form: 8-69463

Grainne O Maille^h1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 61

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in minor event (250/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Work to do off this mark.

Form: 784

Bluebells Boy^b,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 57| D

5/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Good second at Wolverhampton on previous outing and he's not ruled out back on an artificial surface.

Form: 800425

Big Time Maybe⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| C| D

9/1

Course winner. Latest win at Brighton in May. 33/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 6 days ago. Frame claims.

Agostino²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 59

13/2

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 18/1) 26 days ago. Yet to fire this season and others are preferred.

Form: 209-688

Nordic Glory¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Pulled far too hard when last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 18 days ago. Has slipped to handy mark but others have more solid recent form.

Form: 8-75467

(2)

Real Estate^p¹⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51| CD

40/1

3-time C&D winner. 11/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW). Off 152 days. Interesting if returning in peak form but has sizeable absence to overcome, so others are preferred.

Form: 6-71720

(10)

Coast¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 48| D

14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, returned to form from out of the blue when second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Player if able to back that up.

Form: 088772

(4)

Sir Sedric^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 47

18/1

One win from 28 Flat runs. One of better recent efforts when fourth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f, AW) 15 days ago. Others make more appeal with blinkers back on.

Form: 60-6874

(9)

Perfect Symphony^v¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: T E Whelan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 46| CD

80/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 122567

Sajwaan¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: M J Attwater| OR: 48

100/1

Modest maiden handicapper hasn't beaten in a rival in any of his last 3 outings. Plenty to prove.

Form: 356690

Forecasts

Oriental Spirit (6/4), Revolucion (4/1), Bluebells Boy (5/1), Agostino (13/2), Big Time Maybe (9/1), Coast (14/1), Nordic Glory (14/1), Sir Sedric (18/1), Real Estate (40/1), Grainne O Maille (66/1), Perfect Symphony (80/1), Sajwaan (100/1)

ORIENTAL SPIRIT is one to keep an eye on from this sort of mark and shaped with plenty of encouragement at Bath last time, so is taken to notch his first win of the season. Bluebells Boy arrives after a couple of decent efforts and is also respected, whilst Coast bounced back to form last time and remains well treated if able to build on that.
