Cochin⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: L Morris| T: R G Hawker| OR: 59

66/1

First run since leaving Milton Harris when sixth of 7 in handicap (50/1) at this course (10.2f, good) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to raise her game.

Form: 356/78-6

Sobegrand^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C Brace| T: J L Flint| OR: 58

50/1

Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 125/1) 17 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 2640/09

Secret Sauce^b,t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 56

40/1

28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Failed to fire on latest start in this sphere and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 9/26410-

Humaniste^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 54

25/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. Third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 20/1). Off 9 months but would be in with an each-way chance if fit enough to do himself justice.

Form: 370/603-

Blue Hero^h¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 53| C

4/1

Seven-time course winner. 9/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's one of the likelier winners.

Form: 874-874

(5)

Grey Owl^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 53

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Up in trip and certainly not without each-way hope.

Form: 75-524

(1)

Alghazaal²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M D I Usher| OR: 49

12/1

One win from 25 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 17/2) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 72-3986

Kingston Sunflower⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: R J Smith| OR: 48

9/2

7/2, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 54 days ago. Remains a maiden in this sphere but she has shown enough to suggest that she'll be competitive here off this mark.

Form: 82-9333

(9)

Uther Pendragon^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 45| C

16/1

Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good) 9 days ago. Now below last winning mark and he's worth considering.

Form: 678463

(11)

Ladypacksapunch⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 45

33/1

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 58 days ago, hampered. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 56449-9

(2)

Honrado³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: M L W Bell| OR: 57

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 39 days ago, needing stiffer test, which he will get here. One to consider.

Form: 407-64

(13)

Made In China^b⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: C Johnston| OR: 56

10/1

9/2, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago, slowly away. Record stands at 0-11 but he's a strong candidate nevertheless.

Form: 4-65723

Forecasts

Honrado (15/8), Blue Hero (4/1), Kingston Sunflower (9/2), Grey Owl (6/1), Made In China (10/1), Dovena (10/1), Alghazaal (12/1), Uther Pendragon (16/1), Humaniste (25/1), Ladypacksapunch (33/1), Secret Sauce (40/1), Sobegrand (50/1), Cochin (66/1), Golden Keeper (100/1)

The handicapper has shown BLUE HERO mercy and the 6-y-o is taken to regain the winning thread. He registered the latest of his seven course wins off a 9 lb higher mark last July and he has been shaping as though worth another try over this trip. The 3-y-os Honrado and Made In China rate the main dangers, with the former feared most with this step up in trip a possible catalyst for some improvement.
