2/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, shape well when fourth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and a danger to all if he takes to it.

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 10/11, last of 8 in claimer at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. That race may have come too soon and he's dangerous if bouncing back.

Forecasts

Monsieur Kodi (2/1), Princess Shabnam (9/4), Blackjack (5/1), Hierarchy (11/2), Maid In Chelsea (6/1), Temple Bruer (10/1), Legend Of Leros (33/1)

This is quite late in the day for MONSIEUR KODI to tackle polytrack for the first time but shaped quite nicely at Catterick last time and he's a regular in better handicaps than this. He's therefore awarded the vote in favour of Princess Shabnam and Hierarchy.
