Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 57

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, last of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 17 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of blinkers triggering some improvement.

Form: 459-90

Tonal^p,t⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 56| BF

7/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 4 days ago, no match for winner. Bound to be popular on the back of that with William Buick aboard but he has failed to fire all 3 previous starts on turf.

Bo Taifan^v⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: D P Quinn| OR: 56| D

33/1

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/1) 4 days ago, missing break. Opposable back on turf (well held sole previous run on grass).

Form: 1619-95

Meng Tian⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S Woods| OR: 56

9/2

Won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 6/1) 53 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and commands respect back on turf with Oisin Murphy taking over.

Form: 3532-51

Handel^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 55| CD

5/1

C&D winner. One win from 33 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Alibaba⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 54| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 9/2, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 44 days ago, having run of race. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.

Form: 577-862

Anif^p²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 50| D

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win point of view.

5/1

Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 9/2) 8 days ago. Modest strike rate but he's a live each-way candidate with Silvestre De Sousa booked.

Forecasts

Tonal (7/2), Alibaba (4/1), Meng Tian (9/2), Kodebreaker (5/1), Handel (5/1), Realised (7/1), Perovskia (10/1), Charlatan (12/1), Bo Taifan (33/1), Anif (40/1), Streetstorm (150/1)

MENG TIAN delivered a telling late challenge at Wolverhampton last time and, given that he came from so far back, he probably won with more in hand than the margin of victory would suggest. As such, a 2 lb rise is easy to swallow and he is taken to provide the in-form Oisin Murphy with another winner. Kodebreaker is next on the list ahead of handicap debutante Perovskia and Alibaba, who was a solid second over C&D last time. Tonal has a bit to prove back on turf.
