66/1

8/1, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to firm), unsuited by way race developed. Off 11 months. Others more persuasive.

Fictional^h1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: R Hughes| OR: 62| BF

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Evens, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) on return 13 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time. Clearly thought to be ahead of this mark and worth taking a chance on.

Form: 660-4

(14)

Night Bear³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

15/2

Creditable third of 16 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 33 days ago. Well treated and definite claims if he can get across from a wide draw.

Form: 9-87333

Campese⁵⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 61| D

80/1

13/2 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f). Off 18 months. First run for yard after leaving Charlie & Mark Johnston. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 267647/

Manor Park^t⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 60| D

80/1

125/1, first run since leaving Brian Barr when last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 43 days ago. Fair on the Flat, ran poorly on latest effort in this sphere. Others make more appeal.

Form: 476/926-

Manila Mist²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: K Jewell| OR: 59

22/1

Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 580-024

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 55

12/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 14/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW). Off 93 days. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Fictional (3/1), Damascus Steel (4/1), Federated (4/1), Grigio (11/2), Imperial Cult (13/2), Night Bear (15/2), Golden Dove (17/2), Alghazaal (12/1), Sea Of Charm (14/1), Manila Mist (22/1), Bluenose Belle (40/1), Master Grey (66/1), Manor Park (80/1), Campese (80/1)

FICTIONAL was heavily backed when fourth at Chelmsford on handicap debut and, now hooded, he should be more suited by a well-run race, so he gets the nod over recent winner Federated, who is also unexposed. Golden Dove is also a player in an open race.
