Wick Green^p⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Beau Morgan| T: B Pauling| OR: 117

5/1

Arrives with something to prove, finishing well held for a second successive start at Worcester (23f, good) in August. Mark eases 3 lb but needs to show more.

Sublime Heights^v¹⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Bromley| T: T Lawes| OR: 113| D

11/2

Back on track back following a string of tame efforts when runner-up at his regular haunt, Plumpton (all 3 chase wins gained there), at the end of January. Offered little back there the following month but resumed winning ways when last seen at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 6 months ago.

Musical Slave^b¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: James Turner⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 111| D

9/4

Useful sort at his best but not scored since February 2023. Continues to plummet in the weights and got closer than for a while when fourth of 10 at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) a fortnight ago and any cut in the ground would enhance his chance.

Form: 3-55454

Galloping Pride^t1,v⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Joe Anderson| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 110

11/8

Has reacted well to a visor when runner-up in 23f handicap chases at Worcester in recent months. Nudged up another 3 lb but it shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Tongue tie added.

Form: 3P0-P22

Marettimo⁴⁹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 105

33/1

Back to winning ways in 3m handicap chase at Ludlow in April (2023) and posted solid placed efforts the last twice, latest when second at Warwick the following May. Off 16 months and others look better treated, though.

Form: P451/32-

Forecasts

Galloping Pride (11/8), Musical Slave (9/4), Wick Green (5/1), Sublime Heights (11/2), Marettimo (33/1)

GALLOPING PRIDE has reacted well to the fitting of a visor in finishing runner-up on his last couple of starts so Emma Lavelle's 7-y-o is fancied to go a place better with a tongue tie added at the expense of Sublime Heights, who was last seen in winning action at Chepstow 6 months ago. Musical Slave isn't the force of old, but he got closer than for a while at Newton Abbot a fortnight ago so rounds off the shortlist.
