King Of Scotia¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 71| D

4/1

Back to best form when easily taking 9-runner handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago. Looks well in under 5 lb penalty and holds strong follow-up claims.

Form: 571521

Royal Parade²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 74

11/1

Returned to form when second at Chelmsford over this trip in June but not built on that since. Others more appealing.

Form: 074280

Kalamunda²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 72| BF| D

11/1

Won a couple of AW handicaps over this trip in October but disappointed at this venue subsequently and makes his belated reappearance off a career-high mark.

Speriamo⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: A J Farragher| T: P J McBride| OR: 71| CD

4/1

Yet to make a real impact this season but scored over this C&D last summer and has been cut plenty of slack by the assessor.

Form: 7-40858

(6)

Pipes And Drums¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 73

4/1

Showed ability in all 3 starts thus far, latest when fifth of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good, 5/2) 16 days ago. In good hands and remains with potential on handicap debut.

Form: 545

(4)

Born A Rebel¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: P Owens| OR: 71| BF| D

4/1

Improved to make a winning return/handicap bow at Yarmouth in April and posted good efforts in defeat next 2 starts. Not in same form over longer trip latest but better expected here.

Form: 33-1244

(8)

Renesmee⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 64| D

9/1

Back from 4 months off when good fourth on penultimate start at Yarmouth but wasn't in same form at Doncaster last time and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 437740

(2)

Bella Bisbee^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 68

12/1

Disappointed on slow ground at Beverley latest but had posted creditable efforts in defeat both starts previously and could be a player in first-time blinkers.

Form: 498448

(9)

Tio Mio⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 55

50/1

Made a winning debut for Alex French at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December but underpeformed on final start for that yard in February and has offered little in a couple of outings for current connections.

Form: V1-3076

Forecasts

King Of Scotia (4/1), Pipes And Drums (4/1), Born A Rebel (4/1), Speriamo (4/1), Renesmee (9/1), Royal Parade (11/1), Kalamunda (11/1), Bella Bisbee (12/1), Tio Mio (50/1)

KING OF SCOTIA got back to his best when scoring at Lingfield last month and is fancied to defy a penalty and go in again. The lightly-raced Pipes And Drums is feared most, whilst Born A Rebel also warrants respect.
