9/1

Not beaten too far on his final 2 starts in 2023, 2¾ lengths sixth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) when last seen in November. Ran well on last year's return, so he's one to note dropped back in grade.

Dropped in trip, again ran well when second of 9 in minor event (4/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Remains lightly raced on turf and he could be ready to get back to winning ways.

Close Of Play²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46

25/1

Has offered little both outings this year, racing too freely with the hood left off when tenth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

10/3

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Shaped bit better than result when seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 11 days ago, hampered soon after start. Others still more persuasive.

Form: 454797

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 45

9/1

18/1

Finally off the mark at Chelmsford City in April. However, not in the same form both starts since, last of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Leicester (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs to get back on track with hood reapplied.

Form: 245187

Zing Up¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ross Coakley| T: T Ward| OR: 49| D

6/1

Went backwards from her recent run when last of 10 in minor event (11/1) at this course (5.7f, good) 17 days ago. However, she's capable of getting involved if on a going day.

Form: 3175-40

Forecasts

Bluebells Boy (15/8), Ten O'Clock (9/4), Josies Kid (10/3), Zing Up (6/1), Battleofbaltimore (15/2), Katar (9/1), Battle Point (9/1), Viewfromthestars (18/1), Close Of Play (25/1)

BLUEBELLS BOY has been running well in the main this year, placing for the fourth time when runner-up at Brighton on his latest outing, so he looks to hold leading claims as he makes only his fourth start on turf. Ten O'Clock went close at Lingfield last month and is respected if taking up this engagement, with Battle Point also considered.
