Call Off The Dogs^b¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100| CD

5/2

Missed whole of last year and has gradually recaptured his best this spring, resuming winning ways off a career-low mark here (17.8f) before following up over C&D 17 days ago, knuckling down well to overcome a late error. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick up 4 lb.

Form: PP44-11

Miss Fedora¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 84| CD

6/1

Opened her account over hurdles here in November and got back on track to some degree when fourth of 9 there on chasing debut last month. Failed to build on that next time but might have found that run coming too soon.

Form: P4PP-46

I Love You Sivola^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 81| D

9/1

French recruit who has struggled for current yard and he's difficult to make a case for.

Form: 6642B-P

Belgarum^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 78

9/4

Placed twice over hurdles in 2022/23 but struggled over fences last season. However, step back in the right direction after a wind op when third at Newton Abbot 2 weeks ago and less testing conditions here should suit.

Form: 873PP-3

Millies Mite^t,p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 77| CD

9/2

Seemed suited by the switch to prominent tactics when off the mark at the twenty-seventh attempt at this C&D (good to firm) in April. Backed that up with good second over same C&D last month and should go well again.

Form: 364P1-2

Shaw's Cross¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 74

14/1

Veteran who gained his first chasing success at Plumpton in January 2023. Rather hit-and-miss since, 11¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Call Off The Dogs in handicap chase (9/1) at this C&D (good) 17 days ago, finding little. Others more persuasive.

Form: 2539-35

Milton Boy^p⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 67

22/1

Yet to show any ability, including in handicaps. 7 lb out of the weights on chase bow.

Form: 8P0/685-

Forecasts

Belgarum (9/4), Call Off The Dogs (5/2), Millies Mite (9/2), Miss Fedora (6/1), Princess Midnight (15/2), I Love You Sivola (9/1), Conceal (12/1), Shaw's Cross (14/1), Groom De Cotte (14/1), Milton Boy (22/1)

It could be worth chancing PRINCESS MIDNIGHT, who returns on a winning mark and can go well fresh. Hat-trick-seeking Call Off The Dogs is the obvious threat, with the in-form Millies Mite best of the others.
