Tilsworth Ony Ta²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 57| D

20/1

Successful at Chelmsford City (5f) in January and soon left behind a lesser effort when second of 6 in handicap (7/2) at the same C&D 25 days ago. Enters calculations as he goes back up in trip.

Form: 515-102

May Remain⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 57| CD

8/1

C&D winner in February and not discredited when third of 10 in handicap here (9/1) 4 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Can give another good account.

Form: 342153

American Rose³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: H J Evans| OR: 57

3/1

Eleven runs since her sole success in 2022. However, she shaped well after 6 months off when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 30 days ago, nearest finish (form has worked out well). Merits consideration.

Form: 23736-2

Miss Moonshine¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 55| D

10/1

Three wins from 11 runs in 2023, with latest victory at Lingfield in December. Has made the frame all 4 starts this year, second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/1) 18 days ago. Could be thereabouts once again.

Form: 31-4232

(5)

Toptime²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S R Bowring| OR: 54| CD

9/4

Gained a second course success when winning over 5f in January and again ran well when second of 12 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 22 days ago, despite having been drawn wide. Not discounted.

Form: 083-212

Jems Bond^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: A D Brown| OR: 54| BF| D

15/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/8) 8 days ago. On a workable mark but more needed to take advantage as he drops back in trip.

Form: 286364

Eldeyaar²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 53| D

16/1

Latest win at Catterick in September. However, has largely struggled for form since, eighth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 22 days ago. Others more persuasive at present.

Form: 10-9498

Arlecchino's Gift⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 49| D

17/2

Gained reward for his consistent start to the year when winning 12-runner apprentices handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/5) 9 days ago. Major player racing off the same mark as last time.

Form: 7-33221

(9)

Dequinto¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

22/1

Making second start for current yard, ran best race when third of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, 17/2) 13 days ago, nearest finish having again been slowly away. Needs to build on his latest effort back in a handicap.

Form: 0000/53

(6)

Mikka⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

33/1

Showed more than previously when fourth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 22/1) 60 days ago. Further improvement required returned to handicap company.

Form: 07/86-54

Forecasts

Toptime (9/4), American Rose (3/1), Jems Bond (15/2), May Remain (8/1), Arlecchino's Gift (17/2), Miss Moonshine (10/1), Eldeyaar (16/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (20/1), Dequinto (22/1), Mikka (33/1), Glamorous Star (33/1)

ARLECCHINOS'S GIFT built on his run of placed efforts when opening his account for the year at Wolverhampton 9 days ago and, racing off the same mark, he is taken to follow up in his current form. American Rose made an encouraging reappearance and could be the main danger with that run behind her, ahead of Tilsworth Ony Ta.
