Ellade²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 66

17/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to soft, 12/1) 21 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly with this probably the easiest handicap she's ever contested.

Snooze Lane³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Morgan Cole⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 64| CD

5/1

C&D winner in November and picked up where he left off when successful here in March. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 36 days ago and he seems sure to go well.

2/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 22 days ago. Lurks on a very dangerous mark if he can bounce back.

Forecasts

Oh Herberts Reign (2/1), Prince Ali (5/2), Snooze Lane (5/1), Ellade (17/2), Mudlahhim (12/1), Harbour Vision (18/1), Kingwell (18/1), Dark Company (20/1), Broomy Law (33/1)

A lot of these find winning difficult but SNOOZE LANE is a pretty low-mileage 4-y-o who has gained both victories at this level so he just about gets the nod. Mudlahhim has been in good order for a while now, with the Hannon pair Oh Herberts Reign and Ellade both very well handicapped these days if they can spark back to life.
