Aljari¹¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 87| D

12/1

Good third at Kempton on seasonal return but not in same form when last of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW). Something to find after another 113 days off.

Form: 1118-37

Tiger Crusade¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 87| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Consistent sort wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not discounted back on turf.

Form: 273-046

Rhythm N Hooves^b1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 87

11/2

Won at Royal Ascot last season and though he's yet to fire this year, recent fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a step back in right direction. Blinkers on 1st time. Interesting back at last winning mark.

Form: 748-775

Another Investment¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 82| D

17/2

Shaped as if still in form twelfth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good, 13/2) 14 days ago. Capable of getting involved from this mark but recent finishing efforts have left something to be desired.

Form: 033-750

How Impressive^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 81| D

8/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. 11/1, rare poort effort when nineteenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good) 14 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 218360

Supreme King^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: P D Evans| OR: 80| CD

15/8

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 29 days ago, plenty in hand. Leading player despite 10 lb rise.

Form: 846141

(5)

Rathbone^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 80| CD

25/1

C&D winner. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 13 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark but needs to leave recent efforts long way behind.

Form: 100-909

(3)

Be Proud^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane| T: J S Goldie| OR: 79| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 8/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 17 days ago. Sound place claims again.

Form: 0190-63

(2)

American Star²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 72| D

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 27 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Hard to warm to.

Form: 4809-00

Forecasts

Supreme King (15/8), Rhythm N Hooves (11/2), Tiger Crusade (6/1), How Impressive (8/1), Another Investment (17/2), Be Proud (9/1), Aljari (12/1), American Star (16/1), Rathbone (25/1)

SUPREME KING could barely have been more impressive when sluicing up over C&D earlier in the month and David Evans' unexposed sprinter promises to follow up. Rhythm N Hooves is becoming well treated on the pick of his form and may be working his way back to his peak, whilst Be Proud should run another solid race.
