Kalganov^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 64| D

22/1

125/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back but would be a threat if able to do so off this reduced mark (now 11 lb lower compared to when last successful in December 2023).

Form: 48090-8

H Key Lails^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 64| C

5/1

Course winner. 12/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 29 days ago. This is tougher up 4 lb but he's clearly in good nick.

Form: 322231-

Showhound^v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

6/1

Won 8-runner handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago, kept up to work. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this is more demanding.

Form: 28097-1

Forecasts

Fools Rush In (10/3), Berkshire Phantom (7/2), Port Erin (4/1), H Key Lails (5/1), Showhound (6/1), Zu Run (9/1), Kalganov (22/1), No Saint (28/1)

PORT ERIN was well held on his first two starts for this yard but he has really found his feet since, posting solid efforts in defeat here either side of a battling success at Chelmsford. The 5-y-o remains feasibly treated and he gets the nod ahead of Zu Run, who bounced back from a couple of low-key efforts when third here three weeks ago. Fools Rush In and H Key Lails are others with appealing claims.
