Prince Maxi^b1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: D Egan| T: George Scott| OR: 80

10/3

Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 14/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs the headgear to perk him up.

Form: 6-12499

Knights Affair²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74

2/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good, 5/4) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Drop back in trip isn't bound to suit but he still makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 73-4221

12/1

Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at York (11.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy.

11/4

3-time C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to soft, 11/1) 12 days ago. Respected.

Freddy Robinson³⁶

9/2

Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft, 7/4) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. This is a better grade of handicap but he's not one to rule out.

Forecasts

Knights Affair (2/1), Furzig (11/4), Prince Maxi (10/3), Freddy Robinson (9/2), Roger Henry (11/2), Grand Scheme (12/1)

ROGER HENRY took a big step forward when scoring at Beverley last time and he's still unexposed for his current stable, so he gets the nod over Knights Affair, another last-time-out winner who is going the right way. Freddy Robinson is likely to give his running again.
