Sharp Distinction^b1,t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 68| BF| C

5/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 2/1, really well backed but proved a let-down when last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 24 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Back to a potentially lenient mark.

Form: 656246

Switchel^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 68

11/4

11/2, finally got off the mark with the hood discarded in 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 2 weeks ago, leading inside final 100 yds. Did that a shade cosily and can feature again from just 3 lb higher.

Blue Universe²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: T E Whelan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67

50/1

Failed to capitalise on the drop in grade when second of 8 in juvenile hurdle (10/3) at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Fair on the Flat, respectable fourth at Wolverhampton back in January. Others more appealing.

Form: 57349-4

Bohemian Breeze³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 67| D

5/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 80/1, given a considerate return from 6 weeks off on first outing since leaving Charlie Johnston (sold 16,000 gns) when tenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 36 days ago. Interesting to see which way he goes in the market.

Arazzo¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 65| D

5/1

First run since leaving Harry Charlton (8,500 gns) when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 18/1) 10 days ago, leading over 1f out then soon clear. Carries penalty and worth consideration if arriving in the same mood.

Hill Station^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 65| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Keener than ideal and could run just respectably when 3¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Arazzo in handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago. Must improve.

Form: 425575

Sea Stream¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: C Hills| OR: 68

12/1

Still green when fourth of 7 in novice at Bath (10.2f, good, 9/1) when lasts seen 6 months ago. Step forward needed on handicap debut.

Form: 5-34

Mildyjama⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P R Chamings| OR: 63

40/1

28/1, ran no sort of race when well-beaten eighth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, soft) 10 weeks ago. Watching brief advised on the back of that.

Form: 635448

Anisoptera³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 56| C

50/1

Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Run best excused when sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy, 28/1) 38 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip.

Pablo Prince^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: K Jewell| OR: 54| BF| CD

25/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in September. 10/3, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 17 days ago, running on. In good heart and could well be involved.

Forecasts

Bohemian Breeze (5/2), Switchel (11/4), Sharp Distinction (5/1), Arazzo (5/1), Upepo (7/1), Hill Station (17/2), Pysanka (10/1), Sea Stream (12/1), Pablo Prince (25/1), Mildyjama (40/1), Anisoptera (50/1), Blue Universe (50/1)

A host in with chances but SHARP DISTINCTION has dropped to a very tempting mark and in first-time blinkers, Amy Murphy's charge can leave a dismal effort behind and notch career victory number 3 at the expense of Upepo, who was given a mountain to climb by his inexperienced rider here on Tuesday and is clearly much better than that. Switchel and Pysanka round off the shortlist.
