9/4
Fourth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 3/1) 6 days ago. Had run at least respectably on his previous three outings, so not one to rule out.

Fourth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 17/2) 29 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Others make more appeal.

12/1
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. On a fair mark if she can back that up and she's got the ideal draw.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 49 days ago, doing too much too soon. Makes polytrack debut.

4/1, below form fourth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 23 days ago. Could bounce back quickly but he's a long-standing maiden.

Forecasts

Lewis Barnes (9/4), Q Twenty Boy (7/2), Ohnojoe (5/1), Battleofbaltimore (17/2), Restricted (10/1), Stryder (10/1), Colors Of Freedom (12/1), Royal Expert (20/1), Takana (33/1), Close Of Play (40/1)

Verdict

A distinctly weak event in which the straightforward option is to side with recent Yarmouth winner BATTLEOFBALTIMORE. Lewis Barnes could dispel a poor run last time, so he's on the shortlist and Colors of Freedom can get involved if she's able to back up a solid showing at Southwell 2 weeks ago.

  1. Battleofbaltimore17/2
  2. Lewis Barnes9/4
  3. Colors Of Freedom12/1
