(1)

Jungle Charm⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 72| CD

13/8

Lightly-raced filly who showed improved form to take her career record to 2-4 when winning 7-runner C&D handicap 6 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that success and lots to like once more from inside draw.

Form: 4-161

(6)

Mick's Spirit^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Gilligan| T: C Allen| OR: 72| BF| C

7/2

6-time course winner, latterly bagging pair of 5f events in February 9 days apart. Not at best when fifth of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Chelmsford City (5f) 27 days ago but return to this venue may well help.

Form: 54-5115

(4)

Secret Handsheikh^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 68| D

9/1

Latest win at Brighton (5.2f) in September. 18/1, shaped as if needing the run following 6 months off when ninth of 10 in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago but she remains 4 lb above last winning mark.

Form: 25210-9

Lilkian¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 67| CD

Thismydream^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 64

9/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 12 days ago. No forlorn hope back up in trip.

Form: 533416

(7)

Watermelon Sugar³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 63| D

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (6f) 5 weeks ago, possibly needing the run on the back of 7 months off. Mark has fallen plenty and one to note if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 60063-7

Recon Mission^h,t1¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| C| D

14/1

Forecasts

Jungle Charm (13/8), Mick's Spirit (7/2), Brunel Charm (7/1), Thismydream (9/1), Secret Handsheikh (9/1), Watermelon Sugar (12/1), Lilkian (12/1), Recon Mission (14/1)

Low-mileage filly JUNGLE CHARM escapes a penalty for her C&D success 6 days ago and could well be the answer from a handy draw with further progress certainly not out of the question following just 4 career starts. Thismydream and Mick's Spirit are others to consider.
