Card Shark³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J R Boyle| OR: 55

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. respectable effort after 8 months off 28/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 32 days ago. Back up in trip and open to further improvement.

Form: 79U0-3

Hellavapace^b⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 54| C

40/1

Course winner. 22/1, back on track after break when third of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 74 days ago. Clearly capable of running well fresh and is not ruled out back up in trip.

Dubai Harbour²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: P Phelan| OR: 53| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner here in December and ran just below that level when 6/5, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 25 days ago. Should be in the mix once again.

Form: 6714-34

Rolypolymoly^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 52

9/2

Shaped better than the bare result (after nearly a year off) when sixth of 11 in handicap over C&D 25 days ago, doing too much too soon. That performance suggests he retains plenty of ability at this level and he is an interesting contender in first-time visor with more experienced jockey aboard.

Form: 649/23-6

Sir Laurence Graff²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 50| CD

6/1

C&D winner isn't always the easiest to catch right, but he was a shade unlucky when second of 10 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (AW) 25 days ago, running on after being baulked 2f out. One for the shortlist.

Form: 3157-82

Danehill Star^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47| CD

12/1

C&D winner here in January and far from disgraced off 2 lb higher when 3/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 25 days ago. Should perform creditably running off the same mark.

Form: 257-516

(2)

Mr Trick^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 46| D

8/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023 but step in the right direction when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago, having briefly been short of room turning for home. Should run well again.

Form: 33787-4

Laurentia²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Tyler Heard| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 46| CD

25/1

C&D winner produced best effort for a while when 14/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 25 days ago, Player if she can replicate that form.

Form: 0595-53

Dizziwizzbang¹³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Poulton| OR: 45

250/1

Lightly-raced maiden has shown little ability. Significantly up in trip and racing from 1 lb out of the handicap on first run for yard after leaving Phil McEntee. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 00/00-

Forecasts

Card Shark (2/1), Dubai Harbour (10/3), Rolypolymoly (9/2), Sir Laurence Graff (6/1), Marvellous Lady (6/1), Mr Trick (8/1), Danehill Star (12/1), Laurentia (25/1), Hellavapace (40/1), Dizziwizzbang (250/1)

In a trappy event, it may be worth siding with ROLYPOLYMOLY who showed plenty of promise on his first run for nearly a year and is entitled to build on that with a more experienced jockey taking over in the plate. Mr Trick shaped well when short of room at a crucial stage last time, while Sir Laurence Graff had an even rougher passage when narrowly defeated over C&D last month.
