Another Thought¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 70

50/1

Improved on debut effort when taking 3-runner Lingfield novice last summer. Looked rusty after 11 months off when down the field back there (6f, AW) just over 2 weeks ago and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 3124-4

One More Dream¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Fred Daly⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 70| D

8/1

Bagged his third win of 2024 in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) in March but not in same form when eighth of 10 there (7.1f) 19 days ago. Much lower turf mark to work with so he's certainly not out of things.

Onemorenomore¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Joe Bradnam⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 69| D

13/2

Got back on the up after 6 months off to record a second career victory at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month but found things much tougher up in grade 2 days later at Southwell. Back on turf.

Form: 3129-16

Embarked¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Aidan Jones⁽⁸⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 67| D

16/1

Got back on track after 10 weeks off when third at Kempton in March but not in the same form on both subsequent outings. Headgear worn last time discarded and need to bounce back returned to turf.

Form: 618-385

Freetodream²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 66| BF| D

13/2

Overcame positional bias to double his tally for the year at Chelmsford (7f) last month and ran respectably in pursuit of the hat-trick back on turf when third at Brighton (8f, good) just under 4 weeks ago, things not really unfolding ideally for him. Back down in trip and should go close.

Form: 43-5113

Al Baahy¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 65| D

11/1

One win from 25 Flat runs and was below form after 5 months off at Wolverhampton (7.2f) recently. Looks an easy swerve.

Form: 63258-6

Dakota Power¹²^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Courtney Thomas⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 60| D

10/3

Stopped the rot to capitalise on a drop in grade back on turf after 8 weeks off when scoring at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Proved pretty consistent last year and should be thereabouts under a penalty.

Form: 33-7071

(5)

Powdering¹¹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Oliver Timms⁽⁵⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 60| D

5/2

Opened his account for the season at Wolverhampton in April and proved better than ever back on turf when bolting up at Beverley (7.4f, good) 11 days ago, doing well to come from the rear (made her move on what appeared the favoured part of the track). Respected under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 744131

Harry The Haggler^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Enright⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 60| BF| D

12/1

Notched a second career success at Kempton in November and has proven ultra consistent since, kept closer to the pace and just beaten by a better-treated rival at Chelmsford (7f) 8 days ago. Player if translating that form back on turf.

Form: 1-32562

One Hart^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Molly Gunn| T: D Donovan| OR: 52| BF| D

25/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023 and went off too hard when finishing tailed-off last at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 4 days ago. Returned to turf and cheekpieces are back on.

FREETODREAM arrives in the form of his life, and with his effort at Bath last month easily excused, Amanda Perrett's 4-y-o is fancied to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at the expense of Powdering, who bolted up at Beverley 11 days ago and should be bang there under a penalty. Dakota Power is another last-time-out winner, and he can edge out One More Dream for third spot.
