Peripeteia³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: P A Kirby| OR: 56| D

8/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, left poorly placed. Drops in grade and can make her presence felt if the race pans out ideally.

Form: 2290-37

Spring Chorus³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Gray| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 55

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when eleventh of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 30 days ago. Needs to up her game.

Form: 4504-0

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Menzies| OR: 54

12/1

Quirky sort. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 13/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 43 days ago. Not one to rule out.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Walford| OR: 53

9/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 28/1) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on and return to this trip is in her favour, so not dismissed.

Form: 36509-5

Twoforthegutter^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: C N Kellett| OR: 53| BF

7/2

11/4, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 16 days ago. Not the most straightforward but is likely to be thereabouts once more.

Form: 9-34424

Cloudy Rose²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 52| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 7/1) 29 days ago, driven out. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 9644-91

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 52| C

18/1

Course winner. 16/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Likely to need the run.

14/1

66/1, first run since leaving Richard Hughes when sixth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good) 19 days ago. Down in trip. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 6/5964-6

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 46

5/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 15/2) 51 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Cloudy Rose (2/1), Twoforthegutter (7/2), Tiberio Force (5/1), Peripeteia (8/1), Night Life (9/1), Heatherdown Hero (12/1), Schumann (14/1), Spring Chorus (18/1), Ski Jump (18/1), Colonial Love (66/1)

CLOUDY ROSE won this race as the second leg of a hat-trick last season and, having scored at Brighton (as she did in 2023) last time, she's the most appealing option. Peripeteia is a danger down in grade and Night Life is worth keeping in mind back up in distance.
