Giddy Aunt³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 52

11/2

Followed good run with a below-par one back on firmer ground when last of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 36 days ago. Capable of getting involved off her current mark.

Q Twenty Boy¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Alicia Perkins⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 50| CD

10/3

Back to winning ways in 10-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, edging ahead last ½f. Remains well treated on old form and he can follow up.

Form: 463961

Kodi Hawk¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 50

66/1

Little impact in 3 starts so far, ninth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 200/1) 2 weeks ago. Much more required as he drops back down in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 699

Nahwand^v¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR: 48

5/1

Run best excused when eleventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, soon behind having stumbled badly leaving stalls. Continues to fall in the weights but more needed to take advantage.

Form: 080690

Time Patrol³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| D

5/2

Left previous efforts well behind when opening account in 13-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 100/1) 38 days ago, leading dying strides. Could have more to offer now he's up and running.

Form: 6-091

Endless Season^p⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 45

9/2

In-and-out form of late, lesser effort when seventh of 8 in minor event at Brighton (1m, good, 9/1) 64 days ago. Others more persuasive as she drops back in trip.

Form: 032057

Sir Sedric^v³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 45

14/1

Nineteen runs since sole success back in 2021. Below form last 2 starts, ninth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 36 days ago. Looks to be vulnerable once more.

Forecasts

Time Patrol (5/2), Q Twenty Boy (10/3), Endless Season (9/2), Nahwand (5/1), Giddy Aunt (11/2), Macho Mania (6/1), Sir Sedric (14/1), Poseidon Prince (18/1), Kodi Hawk (66/1)

Q TWENTY BOY took advantage of his reduced mark when scoring at this C&D 12 days ago and a 2 lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from following up. The main danger could be Time Patrol, who showed much improved form when getting off the mark at Windsor last time, with Giddy Aunt completing the shortlist.
