Breguet Boy^b³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 58| D

15/2

Three wins from 14 runs last year and good effort back from 4 months off when second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Not disgraced under an aggressive ride when 4½ lengths sixth of 12 to Sirius White in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) since and possibilities from handy draw.

Form: 3351-26

(8)

Enzos Angel^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Ned Sangster⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 58| BF

16/5

5-y-o who has made a bright start for his new yard, successful at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Best effort yet when runner-up back at that venue (8.6f) 8 days ago, beaten by a revitalised stable switcher. Due to be 2 lb higher in future and well worth a second look.

Form: 65-1642

(9)

Possible Ambition^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Jodie Wingrove⁽⁷⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 57| D

66/1

Winner at Newcastle (1m) in February and bright start for new yard when runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.5f) later that month. Rather underwhelming effort when ninth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 37 days ago and he needs to leave that behind here.

Form: 8-31529

(15)

Calcutta Dream^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 56| CD

9/2

C&D winner who has been in good form this year, successful over C&D in January and posted career-best effort when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago. Looks competitive on form despite a tricky draw to overcome.

Form: 5-14221

Handel⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Leah Banham⁽⁷⁾| T: C Banham| OR: 56| BF

8/1

One win from 31 Flat runs. 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Lurking on a handy mark and one to consider for all he needs things to drop just right.

Form: 9-38263

(7)

Reverberation¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr E Cagney| T: J S Moore| OR: 56| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 4/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, that despite not being seen to best effect from his wide draw. Looks one of the likelier types again.

Form: 123225

Sacchoandvanzetti^t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Remie Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 55

20/1

Better known as a fair hurdler these days and he made little impact returned to the level when tenth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 37 days ago. Steps back up in trip now.

Form: 33780/0

(6)

Sirius White^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Ellie Mayo⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 54| C

14/1

Dual winner over 7f here last year who left his yard debut effort well behind when running out 100/1 winner at Southwell (1m) 37 days ago, staying on to lead approaching final 1f and always holding on. Wouldn't be sure to be in same form here, though. Up in trip.

Form: 710-601

(11)

Corporate Raider^b¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 54| D

25/1

Shed maiden tag at Yarmouth (10.1f) last June and largely held his form well in turf handicaps thereafter. Operating below best in pair of AW starts towards the end of the year but fallen in the weights ahead of this and no real surprise to see a good showing.

Form: 543490-

(12)

Dubai Immo^p⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: W Stone| OR: 53

33/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. First run since leaving Stuart Williams when eleventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (8f) 47 days ago, weakening when hampered over 1f out. Up in trip.

Form: 80990-0

(16)

Zambezi Magic^h²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 51| D

28/1

Won twice at Ffos Las (both 10f) in summer 2022 but has been below that level since returning from almost a year off the track, proving a handful beforehand and ultimately finishing well held at Doncaster last month. Mark continues to slide at least.

Form: 805-490

(13)

Pittsburg^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss E McGarty-Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 51

10/1

Winner at Kempton (11f) in March and lines up here having not been seen to best effect when fifth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago, no room over 1f out. Not discounted back down in trip.

Form: 36-4145

(4)

Inclement Weather^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Poppy Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 50

40/1

One win from 25 Flat runs. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) 37 days ago, racing off the pace and never landing a blow. Previous Wolverhampton fourth wasn't devoid of encouragement if this step back up in trip has a positive effect now.

Form: 60-7640

(1)

Stormingin^b⁶⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Ella Smart-Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 49| CD

18/1

Ungenuine type who added a third C&D victory to his tally when landing 12-runner handicap 69 days ago, coaxed home to score by ½ length from Reverberation under today's rider. Whether he'll be in the same mood here is open to question, however.

Form: 6275-81

(14)

Dancing Master^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Clodagh Horrigan⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 45

100/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 200/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Best watched returned to the level.

Form: 5223-58

Forecasts

Enzos Angel (16/5), Reverberation (4/1), Calcutta Dream (9/2), Breguet Boy (15/2), Handel (8/1), Pittsburg (10/1), Sirius White (14/1), Stormingin (18/1), Sacchoandvanzetti (20/1), Change Of Fortune (20/1), Corporate Raider (25/1), Zambezi Magic (28/1), Dubai Immo (33/1), Inclement Weather (40/1), Possible Ambition (66/1), Dancing Master (100/1)

ENZOS ANGEL was denied only by a revitalised stable switcher on his most recent start at Wolverhampton 8 days ago and, due to be 2 lb higher in future, he could well be worth siding with to come out on top here. Reverberation and Breguet Boy head up the dangers along with Calcutta Dream. Corporate Raider on return from a reduced mark also makes some each-way appeal.
