Little form. 150/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 12 days ago. More will be needed.
|
Four-time C&D winner. 4/1, creditable second of 9 in similar event at this course (6f) 9 days ago, rallying. Another prominent showing likely.
|
One win from 26 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 10 in classified event (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) on reappearance 12 days ago. Could strip fitter for that first outing in 4 months.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 9/1 and eyeshields on first time (discarded), eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 76 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
Four-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, good second of 8 in classified event at Wolverhampton (5f) 4 days ago. Player.
|
Poor gelding. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/1) 12 days ago. Has a bit to find on these terms.
|
Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Hinted at a revival when sixth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 15 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form.
|
C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 7/1) 12 days ago but runner-up over C&D prior to that. Visor back on. Not taken lightly.
|
Poor gelding. Remains a maiden after 44 Flat runs. 5 lengths ninth of 10 to Golden Prosperity in classified event at Musselburgh (5f, good, 11/1) when last seen in June. Others preferred again.
|
C&D winner. Two wins from 41 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Good fourth of 10 in classified event (8/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 12 days ago.
|
No worthwhile form. Cheekpieces on first time, eighth of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Southwell (5f) 8 days ago, slowly away.
|
Modest gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November but well held in 3 handicaps since. First-time blinkers replace visor. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts
Blackcurrent (7/2), Sir Benedict (4/1), Rockley Point (9/2), Stallone (11/2), Hard Nut (11/2), Tantastic (17/2), Tommytwohoots (12/1), Golden Prosperity (14/1), Shaka (16/1), Stroxx (100/1), The Spinmeister (200/1), Ank Marvin (200/1)
SIR BENEDICT is a potential class act in this grade and might be worth siding with after showing more positive signs at Wolverhampton last time. Blackcurrent, who has a fine record here, Rockley Point and Stallone can give Stella Barclay's charge most to do.
