Sandy Paradise^b²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 82| D

10/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. 28/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 25 days ago. 0-10 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 422158

Alazwar¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson| OR: 78| D

12/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good, 8/1) 11 days ago. Just 2 lb above the mark off which he scored at Ascot in October and will be a threat if able to bounce back.

Form: 212-407

(10)

G'daay^v⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: J Parr| OR: 78| D

13/2

Ninth of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, good, 17/2) 48 days ago. Has slipped back to his last winning mark, so there's cause for optimism.

Form: 2643-49

Watchya³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 77

28/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good, 33/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred.

Form: 50-0600

(1)

Dream Of Mischief¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 76| D

17/2

10/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 530-203

(4)

Musical Mystery²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 76| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner in May. 15/8, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good) 24 days ago. 1 lb lower back here and he's a solid-looking candidate.

Form: 20-8313

(5)

Shot Of Love^b,h⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| D

50/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Last of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 33/1) 56 days ago. Likely to find a few too good.

Form: 5-71620

(9)

King Of War^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 70| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Good second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 0621-22

(11)

A Pint Of Bear^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: S Dixon| OR: 67| C| D

6/1

Three wins from 10 runs this year. Won 5-runner handicap at this course (6f, good, evens) 18 days ago. Enters calculations. One of three representing the Scott Dixon yard.

Form: 022131

(2)

Poetic Force¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 18 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark but this 10-y-o looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 474425

(8)

Shaw Park¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 64| CD

12/1

Didn't need to improve to win 4-runner handicap at this C&D (good, evens) 18 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this is tougher.

Form: 990421

(12)

Candy Warhol^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 62

16/1

Reluctant individual. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/1) 21 days ago but whether he'll back that up back on turf remains to be seen.

Form: 420322

Forecasts

King Of War (7/2), Musical Mystery (4/1), A Pint Of Bear (6/1), G'daay (13/2), Dream Of Mischief (17/2), Sandy Paradise (10/1), Shaw Park (12/1), Alazwar (12/1), Poetic Force (16/1), Candy Warhol (16/1), Watchya (28/1), Shot Of Love (50/1)

KING OF WAR has done nothing wrong in his two starts since joining the Michael Wigham yard and is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. Next on the list is A Pint of Bear, who has won two of his last three starts and looks sure to be in the mix once again. Musical Mystery is also shortlisted.
