15/2

Winning debut over C&D in March. Good fifth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 33/1), keeping on when short of room. Off 160 days. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke and current mark asks for more.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tate| OR: 71| CD

11/4

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 41 days ago, ultimately well on top. Compiling a very good course record so has to be of serious interest.

16/1

Lord Rapscallion^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| D

9/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2023 though perhaps unlucky not to end that run when good second of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 8 days ago, despite conceding first run and also forced to switch. Has to be taken very seriously.

16/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago, driven out. 4 lb rise pitches her into a better race.

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 35 days ago. Needs to up his game.

Forecasts

Lord Rapscallion (9/4), King Of Ithaca (11/4), Eligible (10/3), Alreet Cha (5/1), Federal Envoy (15/2), Thorntonledale Max (12/1), Autumn Rose (16/1), Visibility (16/1), South Kensington (66/1), Cable Beach (100/1)

LORD RAPSCALLION is a regular in better races than this and arguably should have won back from a short break at Chelmsford last week. He looks too well weighted to ignore so gets the nod in favour of King of Ithaca, who is building up a good record over C&D and last-time-out winner Eligible.
