Swatch³⁵

13/8

Latest win at Bath in April. 9/4, good third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good) 35 days ago. This course winner has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark (form been franked).

Form: 066-013

Lafan¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: R Coakley| T: D Donovan| OR: 66| D

40/1

12/1, only fourth of 5 in claimer at this C&D (AW) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 390-384

(9)

Delta Legend¹¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 63| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 6/1, below-par sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 110 days ago on his final run for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Needs to bounce back for his new handler.

Form: 4306-16

9/1

Last of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Down in trip and merits consideration if back on his A-game.

(3)

Rabinal²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: S Dow| OR: 61| C| D

8/1

Course winner. Latest win here in March. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 20 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: K Jewell| OR: 60

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in minor event (200/1) at Kempton (8f) 103 days ago. More is needed on his handicap debut.

9/2

Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft, 8/1) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and needs to step forward.

Form: 72-0446

11/1

(10)

Purple Poppy¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 47| C

11/1

Course winner. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this course (7f, AW) 13 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 4328-07

Forecasts

Swatch (13/8), Fitz Perfectly (9/2), Delta Legend (6/1), Rabinal (8/1), Lunanera (9/1), We'renotreallyhere (11/1), Purple Poppy (11/1), Another Thought (25/1), The Colorist (40/1), Lafan (40/1)

SWATCH signalled he's ready to strike again when a good recent Beverley third (form been franked) so gets the verdict in a competitive handicap. In-form pair We'renotreallyhere (second choice) and Purple Poppy appeal as most likely to trouble Alice Haynes' C&D scorer, while Luanera is another weighted to have a say if back on song.
