Hk Fourteen⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49| D

5/2

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (11/4) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 7 days ago, kept up to work. Will be tough to beat under a penalty here, provided he takes to this surface.

Form: 90001

Captain Vallo^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 53| CD

15/2

Urban Dandy^v1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 52| BF| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 11/4) 7 days ago, no match for winner. Visor on 1st time and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 696832

Lady Ursula^h⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: P Morris| OR: 50

150/1

150/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 45 days ago and she looks set for another struggle.

Form: 93/63-07

Noble Captain^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: K Scott| OR: 50| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 9 days ago. Another who makes some each-way appeal.

Evoluir¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 49| D

16/1

Produced a career-best when landing a 11-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 6/1) 17 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and merits respect in follow-up bid on debut for new connections.

Form: 277421

Bernie The Bear^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 46| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and unlikely he will be far away.

Form: 430092

Robespierre¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, soft, 66/1) 16 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 0400

Forecasts

Hk Fourteen (5/2), Fircombe Hall (3/1), Bernie The Bear (5/1), Urban Dandy (11/2), Captain Vallo (15/2), Noble Captain (17/2), Evoluir (16/1), Robespierre (125/1), Lady Ursula (150/1)

Sprinting is clearly HK FOURTEEN's game judged on his much-improved, clear-cut success dropped to 5.7f at Bath last week. Assuming that he will prove equally effective on tapeta, the lightly-raced 4-y-o will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Fellow last-time-out winner Evoluir gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Fircombe Hall and Urban Dandy.
