10/11

C&D winner who completed the hat-trick in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, leading final strides. 2 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the 4-timer.

Form: 3361-11

11/1

Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (11f) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort after rapid progress 2f out. Can give another good account.

Form: 444-893

10/3, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 39 days ago, though hung right from 2f out.

Form: 6279-35

Plumette¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 64

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023 but backed up previous effort when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago, despite being left poorly placed. Not taken lightly.

Form: 347-446

Aim For The Moon^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: A J Farragher| T: M Wigham| OR: 64

17/2

Failed to build on a promising stable debut when eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 23 days ago. Still early days with new yard and not one to write off.

Form: 7255-38

Intoxicata^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 60| D

7/1

Three wins from 16 runs last year, latest at Newcastle in January. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 11/2) 4 days ago, running on. Should continue in form.

Form: 3-61363

Forecasts

David's Diva (10/11), Valentinka (6/1), Intoxicata (7/1), Aim For The Moon (17/2), Noble Sovereign (10/1), Nikki's Girl (11/1), Plumette (14/1), Ring Fenced (40/1), Raincloud (200/1)

DAVID'S DIVA did well to overcome the widest stall at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and, on that evidence, a 2 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the 4-timer. Plumette is interesting from her current mark and has been shaping up well of late, with Aim For The Moon another not to take lightly.
