Wee Geordie⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 53

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/2) in January. Needs to put that behind him but it's still early days and he's one to write off just yet.

Form: 040-7

Pop Favorite^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| D

22/1

Three wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in January. Last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 25/1) 32 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 451458

(9)

Angel Of Antrim^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52| D

9/2

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. First run since leaving Ed Dunlop when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 8 days ago, hampered. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 935414

(7)

Van Zant^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51| CD

11/4

Won 11-runner minor event at this C&D (5/2) 17 days ago, digging deep. Touch more needed back in handicap company but he's a player nonetheless.

Form: 334421

(4)

Specialist View¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 49

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 11 in minor event at this C&D (16/1) 17 days ago. Bold show likely if able to build on that now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 90/8-3

(3)

Masham Moor²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: S G West| OR: 49| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, creditable third of 9 in minor event at this C&D 29 days ago, nearest finish. Place possibilities.

Form: 826-553

(8)

Reformed Character^t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 47

17/2

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 10/1, creditable fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 32 days ago, nearest finish. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 4/5-5734

Urban Champion¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: R T Phillips| OR: 46

12/1

5½ lengths fourth of 11 to Van Zant in minor event (28/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 65-0004

Forecasts

Van Zant (11/4), Specialist View (3/1), Angel Of Antrim (9/2), Masham Moor (15/2), Reformed Character (17/2), Wee Geordie (9/1), Urban Champion (12/1), Pop Favorite (22/1), Recorwoman (25/1)

It remains to be seen if SPECIALIST VIEW will be able to build on her much-improved C&D third in a classified race here recently but, if able to do so, she will have every chance off this lowly mark on her first run in a handicap. Angel of Antrim put in a decent shift on debut for this yard at Wolverhampton and he is feared most ahead of Van Zant and Wee Geordie.
