(6)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 90| D

Returned from long absence to make a winning stable debut in 1m handicap at Newcastle 58 days ago. Had plenty in hand so a 6 lb rise may not stop him if coping with very different conditions this afternoon (showed promise on soft as a juvenile).

Form: 2213/1

Look Back Smiling²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 87| D

Isn't straightforward, but recorded 3 wins from 18 runs last year and was better than ever when landing 18-runner Spring Mile at Doncaster (heavy) 23 days ago by ½ length from reopposing Thunder Roar, suited by way race developed. 4 lb higher now.

Form: 86451-1

Pisanello¹⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| D

Has a decent record fresh and reappears off the mark he defied at Hamilton last summer. Goes well in the mud. Should have a say.

Form: 315759-

Spirit Genie^p,t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: J Candlish| OR: 85

Latest win at Leicester in October. Respectable sixth of 20 in Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, heavy, 25/1) on reappearance 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Considered in this lower grade.

Form: 88129-6

(9)

Thunder Roar²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 83| BF

Three wins from 8 runs last year. Creditable ½-length second of 18 to Look Back Smiling in Spring Miler at Doncaster (1m, heavy) 23 days ago. Should figure again.

Form: 0311-32

Shaladar¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82| D

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) when last seen in November. Second in this race on his 2023 reappearance.

Titian²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 81| D

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 16½ lengths fourteenth of 18 to Look Back Smiling in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (1m, heavy) on reappearance 23 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot.

Form: 34539-0

Clear Angel^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: S Corbett| OR: 79| D

12/1, respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 18 to Look Back Smiling in Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, heavy) 23 days ago, never nearer.

Form: 14304-4

Forecasts

Noble Order (3/1), Thunder Roar (9/2), Look Back Smiling (9/2), Clear Angel (7/1), Spirit Genie (8/1), Legend Of Leros (10/1), Pisanello (12/1), Titian (12/1), Shaladar (14/1), Ron O (20/1)

NOBLE ORDER hasn't seen much of the track in recent years but the style of his comeback success for new trainer Archie Watson at Newcastle in February suggests he can make up for lost time. Pisanello has done well at this time of year previously so he's second choice ahead of Spirit Genie, who should find this a bit easier than the Lincoln.
