Natzor¹¹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| D

3/1

Made a solid start to 2024 for new yard, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 9/2) 11 days ago by 1½ lengths from Ludo's Landing. Could do better again and respected under a penalty.

Form: 070-221

Photon⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R A Teal| OR: 72

4/1

Maiden who won't be long in bucking that trend judged on exploits this year, headed near line when second of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 54 days ago. Possibilities again.

Form: 90-2622

Ludo's Landing¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 71

5/2

11/2, creditable 1½ lengths second of 10 to Natzor in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 11 days ago, every chance approaching final 1f and staying on. Not hard to envisage him being thereabouts again.

Form: 8-D3342

Royal Dream^t⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71| D

15/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 6/1) 40 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Best efforts to date have come on AW, so feasible to expect a better showing.

Form: 725-918

Three Yorkshiremen^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Wigham| OR: 71| BF| CD

16/1

Justified market confidence in refitted cheekpieces when winning a C&D handicap in April. Below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to soft, 9/4) 34 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 86-6615

Boasty^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 70| CD

6/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 11/2, good third of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Back up in trip.

Form: 617723

Platinum Jubilee^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Wesley Joyce⁽⁵⁾| T: D Donovan| OR: 68| CD

66/1

C&D winner on final start for Andrew Balding in March. However, very easy to back and not in anything like the same form either start on turf for new stable last month. Return to all-weather needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 682106

Nasim⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 63| BF| C

22/1

Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, good second of 15 in handicap at this course (8f) 40 days ago. Back up in trip and he's one to bear in mind from this sort of mark.

Form: 05-4742

Strike Alliance⁴³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 62

66/1

El Kabeir gelding who has improved for switch to handicaps/step up in trip, making final start for Andrew Balding a winning one in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in spring 2023. Changed hands for 20,000 gns/gelded after but absent since. Market may prove a useful guide.

Form: 67/3241-

Forecasts

Ludo's Landing (5/2), Natzor (3/1), Photon (4/1), Boasty (6/1), Royal Dream (15/2), Three Yorkshiremen (16/1), Nasim (22/1), Strike Alliance (66/1), Platinum Jubilee (66/1)

Plenty of these arrive in good form, including PHOTON who went as close as he ever has to shedding the maiden tag when headed close home at Wolverhampton in March and a 1 lb rise in the weights shouldn't prevent him making another bold bid. Natzor cemented the positive start made for David O'Meara when successful at Newcastle 11 days ago, and along with Royal Dream, heads up the dangers.
