Coolree^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66

11/4

5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 19 days ago. Shaped better than the result last time and this is less competitive, so he's worth taking a chance on.

Form: 7-54025

Khathak^t,v⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

4/1

Temperamental sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 44 days ago. Had been running with credit prior to excusable latest effort, so not one to rule out.

Form: 26-6749

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: T Collier| OR: 61WS

10/3

Sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.5f) 57 days ago, very slowly away. Down the weights and has undergone breathing operation since latest outing.

18/1

40/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 38 days ago. Plenty to prove.

33/1

Course winner. 25/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 22 months. Hard to know how much ability he retains.

Form: 331205/

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 18/1). Off 95 days. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 28289-8

Plumette^t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A Ralph| OR: 58| CD

5/1

5-time course winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 35 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Steph Hollinshead. Tongue strap back on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 446454

(10)

Tacitus^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: T Collier| OR: 50

40/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 33 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 82779-8

11/1

14/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Worth considering despite long-standing maiden tag.

Form: 3550-63

Forecasts

Coolree (11/4), Covert Legend (10/3), Khathak (4/1), Plumette (5/1), Darker (11/1), Mykonos St John (12/1), Gordonstoun (12/1), Farhhfromforgotten (14/1), Lady Lavina (18/1), Avarice (33/1), Tacitus (40/1)

COOLREE shaped well up with a strong pace last time and, from stall 1, he's worth chancing in a race where the majority have questions to answer. Darker is one of few that has run with credit last time, so he's a danger, while Covert Legend is worth noting on the back of wind surgery and a short break.
