Regheeb¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson| OR: 90| D

14/1

Two wins from 4 runs last year. Only eighth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 161 days ago but the sort to bounce back.

Form: 16158-

Diamondonthehill¹⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 86| D

16/1

Fair 1m winner but too free when seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 33/1). Off 6 months and not ruled out.

Form: 312547-

Hiromichi^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: J Channon| OR: 82| BF| D

4/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year and also scored at Lingfield this month. Posted a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 4/1) 17 days ago so he's in the mix.

Form: 2519-14

Animate¹⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: G A Harker| OR: 82

25/1

Raced too freely when ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 6 months ago on his final run for Simon & Ed Crisford. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler.

Form: 320899-

Titian³⁵

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

10/3

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, heavy) 35 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 34539-0

(7)

Spioradalta⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 80| D

16/5

Shaped well on his return when fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 9 days ago. A dual winner around 1m in 2023 so he's shortlisted.

Form: 16400-4

Helter Skelter³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: R Menzies| OR: 73

5/2

Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden who shaped well on his handicap debut when sixth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, heavy) 35 days ago, leading 2f out but green and hanging left. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 263-46

Forecasts

Helter Skelter (5/2), Spioradalta (16/5), Titian (10/3), Hiromichi (4/1), Clear Angel (4/1), Regheeb (14/1), Diamondonthehill (16/1), Animate (25/1)

HELTER SKELTER still looked a work in progress when sixth in a big-field Doncaster handicap last time out and can build on it here to get off the mark. Both Clear Angel (second choice) and Spioradalta made encouraging returns at Doncaster and over C&D respectively and appeal as the chief threats to Rebecca Menzies' promising new recruit.
