Challet¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 75| D

5/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Possibly needed run when bit below form ninth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good, 16/1) on reappearance 12 days ago. No surprise were he to go well down in grade.

Form: 06242-9

Powdering¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Herrington| OR: 71| CD

6/5

On a roll at present, winning over C&D at the start of this month. Went in again at Newmarket 11 days later and even a further 6 lb rise may not prevent her making it 4 wins in her last 5 starts.

13/2

Won 5 7f handicaps in a row between summer 2022 and spring 2023. Absent since a midfield finish in a York handicap a year ago. Probably still on a workable mark if she's fully primed for this reappearance.

Forecasts

Powdering (6/5), Challet (5/1), Evocative Spark (13/2), Albeseeingyer (13/2), Mickey Mongoose (9/1), Visibility (10/1), King Of York (12/1), Hougoumont (14/1), El Montejean (22/1), Temper Trap (25/1), Touchwood (33/1)

POWDERING won nicely again at Newmarket and might still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Evocative Spark ran well at Chester last time and is second choice, while Challet has gone a while without a win but is a potential class act in a 0-75.
