13/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this course (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Return to this trip will suit and cheekpieces should help.

8/1

4/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 30 days ago. Well treated if he can build on latest effort, so one to consider.

10/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago, well on top finish. Should go well again.

12/1

Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 12 days ago, worst of draw. Becoming well handicapped and has excuses the last twice, so not without hope.

Forecasts

Beau Jardine (13/8), Regal Envoy (6/1), Tremblant (6/1), Nogo's Dream (13/2), Sir Oliver (8/1), Jungle Charm (8/1), El Hibri (10/1), The Defiant (12/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (16/1), Lahina Bay (18/1)

TREMBLANT wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Newmarket last time and, down in grade with blinkers on for the first time, he's worth a chance to defy a falling mark at the possible expense of Beau Jardine, who scored readily at Salisbury recently. El Hibri is also going the right way.
