11/2

Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 13/2) 10 days ago. Down the weights and should strip fitter for latest outing, so merits respect.

Form: 48-7765

Mykonos St John^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 67| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, sixth of 15 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 60-9886

28/1

Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 35 days ago. On a feasible mark but stamina is an unknown.

11/1

22/1, very good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction and on a handy mark, so can't be dismissed.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 65| D

12/1

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 43 days ago, nearest finish. Back down in trip. Could feature if they go a strong pace.

10/3

Meng Tian^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: S Woods| OR: 59

20/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this course (7.1f) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Queen Of Sparta²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: G Boughey| OR: 62

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 20 days ago. Down in trip. Easy to look elsewhere.

10/3

4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago, slowly away. May do better still, so can't be dismissed.

Form: 071621

Sprezzatura^b,h1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| BF

10/1

Visored for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (18/5) at Chelmsford City (7f) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on, hood on 1st time. Capable from this mark on his day but hard to rely on.

Form: 447236

Forecasts

War Defender (10/3), Flying Panther (10/3), Tickets (11/2), Sprezzatura (10/1), Enola Grey (11/1), Gypsy Whisper (11/1), Perfect Gentleman (12/1), Queen Of Sparta (12/1), Mykonos St John (14/1), Meng Tian (20/1), Profit Given (28/1), Bungley (28/1)

TICKETS is down the weights/in grade and is likely to come on for his recent return from 5 months off at Kempton, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of recent Musselburgh scorer War Defender. Enola Grey is another one to consider in quite an open contest.
