Hawk Jet⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 54

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fit from hurdling but her form in that sphere is only poor, finishing a remote fourth in Worcester novice last month.

Basilette^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 53

12/1

Unreliable type. Behind the reopposing Grey Owl when eighth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (13f, good) 20 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 533248

Apostle⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Gilligan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 55| D

8/11

Big improver at the second time of asking in handicap when seeing off 7 rivals over this trip at Chelmsford last week. A 6 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop her with further progress likely.

Form: 95651

Demanding Lilley¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 55

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good to soft, 40/1) on reappearance in April. Off again since. Up in trip. Too soon to write off but can only watch this time.

Form: 650-9

Forecasts

Apostle (8/11), Grey Owl (6/1), Buxted Reel (7/1), Fravanco (11/1), Basilette (12/1), Black Smoke (12/1), Hawk Jet (16/1), Taxiing (16/1), Demanding Lilley (25/1), Autumn's Breeze (33/1), Anna Of Saxony (40/1)

It'll be a surprise if there isn't more to come from last week's Chelmsford scorer APOSTLE, who can make light of a 6 lb penalty. Grey Owl and Buxted Reel can battle it out for minor honours behind Sir Mark Prescott's filly.
