Glencalvie¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 60

20/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in February. 20/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Has edged back to last winning mark but others arrive in better form.

Form: 717559

Comedian Leader⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & S Best| OR: 60

25/1

Four wins from 17 runs last year. First run since leaving Gay Kelleway when bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago. Step up in trip looks suitable, though wide draw isn't ideal.

Form: 185945

King Of Speed^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner in February and was perhaps unlucky not to win again when nose second of 8 to Egoiste in another handicap (6/4) at this C&D 19 days ago, forced wider than ideal around the home turn. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 4-53122

(8)

H Key Lails^p³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A J Farragher| T: M J Attwater| OR: 59| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 3/1, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 35 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 65-6221

(3)

Egoiste¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier| OR: 59| CD

10/3

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 19 days ago by nose from King of Speed. Not taken lightly from 2 lb higher mark.

Form: 8-22241

Sienna Breeze^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: S D Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 59| BF

14/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. Never involved after another slow start when seventh of 9 in handicap at same course (7.1f, 10/3) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 674147

Rivas Rob Roy^b⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 56| CD

50/1

Course winner. Four wins from 12 runs last year. 66/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 43 days ago. Hard to fancy on recent efforts.

Form: 6-49299

Weloof²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: J Butler| OR: 56| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 33/1) 28 days ago. Can give another good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 8622-63

(5)

Mintnthat^t,v²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 53

50/1

Latest win at Newcastle in January. 28/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 25 days ago. Yet to fire for current yard, so hard to have maximum faith in at present.

Form: 6-71178

(9)

Damoiseau¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: Ian Williams| OR: 49

100/1

Unreliable sort. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, virtually refused to race when last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 907770

Shaka²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 47

3/1

First run since leaving Jason Ward when very good third of 12 in minor event (5/1) at this course (7.2f) 28 days ago. Up in trip. Place claims again if able to translate that form back into a handicap.

Form: 586-483

Forecasts

Shaka (3/1), Egoiste (10/3), King Of Speed (10/3), H Key Lails (7/2), Sienna Breeze (14/1), Weloof (20/1), Glencalvie (20/1), Comedian Leader (25/1), Mintnthat (50/1), Rivas Rob Roy (50/1), Damoiseau (100/1)

KING OF SPEED was narrowly denied by Egoiste over C&D earlier in the month but is fancied to turn the tables on this occasion, the selection having taking a more difficult passage last time and now benefiting from a slight swing at the weights. Egoiste himself has to be considered attempting to follow up, with the in-form H Key Lails also a player.
