Course winner. Six wins from 19 Flat runs. 100/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he needs to bounce back.

9/4

10/3, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Performed with credit when third over the same C&D on penultimate start and worth a second look upped in trip here.

Tamay Girl^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Finley Marsh| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 50

33/1

Last of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good, 150/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Modest performer in this sphere and she looks vulnerable.

Form: 857879

Mellow Mood¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 49

10/3

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, 9/4) 12 days ago and, though her record stands at 0-11, she has to be feared in a race of this nature.

Form: 392234

The Craftymaster⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (10.2f, good to soft) 87 days ago, best work finish. First run for yard after leaving Roger Teal.

Form: 0608

80/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 80/1) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Roman Art (9/4), Huscari (11/4), Mellow Mood (10/3), Gerrots (7/2), Ghostly (5/1), Autonomy (17/2), Kitten's Dream (16/1), The Craftymaster (22/1), Tamay Girl (33/1), Lady Bianca (80/1)

The vote goes to HUSCARI, who has performed with credit both starts since returning from a break last month and her latest effort at Southwell can be marked up a touch, as she wasn't suited by the way the race unfolded. Gerrots put in a good shift on debut for this yard over 1¾m here and a reproduction of that would give him every chance of finally getting his head in front. Roman Art and Mellow Mood are others to consider.
