Game Set³⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 85

13/2

Promising start when winning his first 2 races, but not in the same form when ninth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft, 4/1) last July. No surprise to see him get back on the up after 10 months off (has been gelded).

Form: 119-

13/2

Off the mark at Newcastle in March and has improved in defeat both starts since, second of 8 on turf/handicap debut at Bath (8f, soft, 11/2) 24 days ago. Major player with more still to offer.

Rhythm N Rock⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 85| BF| CD

12/1

After 11 days off, couldn't quite match the level of his reappearance effort when third of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D in February. Hasn't won for a while, but he's capable of getting involved from his current mark.

Form: 2925-33

Legend Of Leros^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 84

22/1

In first-time tongue strap, offered little after 5 months off when last of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 40/1) 18 days ago, pulling hard. Needs to find more with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 37494-0

Baltimore Boy^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: James Horton| OR: 80| CD

5/1

In first-time cheekpieces, ran respectably back on all-weather when fifth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Not discounted from 3 lb lower in the weights than when he won at this C&D last summer.

Form: 068-505

Nap Hand^h⁵⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A King| OR: 80

18/1

Made a winning debut at Salisbury back in 2022. Ended that year with a pair of runner-up efforts in C&D nurseries, but he's been absent for 18 months since. Market can guide as to expectations.

Mr Mistoffelees^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: H Morrison| OR: 80| CD

11/2

C&D winner at 2 yrs. With blinkers applied, returned to form when third of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Botas²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 78| CD

12/1

Latest win at this C&D in August. After 7 months off, looked rusty when seventh of 14 in handicap (25/1) back at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Could fare better with his reappearance run behind him.

Form: 29144-7

Dream Of Mischief^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 77| D

13/2

In first-time hood, shaped encouragingly after 7 months off when second of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Has run well all 3 starts on all-weather and he can give another good account.

Form: 10530-2

Miss Dolly Rocker^h1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: R A Teal| OR: 77| CD

13/2

Ended last year with success over C&D in November. Ran much better than on her return when fourth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago, despite racing freely. Could be thereabouts with hood added.

Form: 2231-44

Francesi²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 76| D

14/1

Eighteen runs since his sole victory back in 2022. Returned in good form when placed on first 2 starts this year, but below-par effort when sixth of 14 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Bounce back called for.

Form: 273-236

Masqool^p⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: William Cox| T: H J Evans| OR: 75| CD

80/1

C&D winner who scored twice at Lingfield (both at 10f) in February. Never involved when tenth of 16 in handicap at the same course (12f, 20/1) 54 days ago, hampered after 2f before caught wide. Significantly back down in trip.

Forecasts

Baltimore Boy (5/1), Mr Mistoffelees (11/2), Miss Dolly Rocker (13/2), Game Set (13/2), Lakota Brave (13/2), Dream Of Mischief (13/2), Pumalin Park (7/1), Botas (12/1), Rhythm N Rock (12/1), One Step Beyond (12/1), Francesi (14/1), Nap Hand (18/1), Legend Of Leros (22/1), Masqool (80/1)

This could go the way of LAKOTA BRAVE who has progressed with each of his 4 starts so far, faring best of the pair who helped to force the pace when runner-up at Bath last month. He can see off the challenge of Game Set, who remains with potential as he makes his return.
