Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 55| CD

15/2

Three-time C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 22/1) 38 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and he needs a second look.

Neptune Legend^t,v³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| BF| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. 15/8, respectable third of 10 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 3 days ago. Visor back on and expected to be bang there.

Form: 73-2213

Rogue Thunder^h⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 52| CD

10/3

C&D winner. 11/2, creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Piperstown in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 31-3264

Nordic Glory¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51| D

5/1

17/2, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. That represented a step back in the right direction and he's shortlisted.

Form: 222-983

Heartrate¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 49| D

7/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Place possibilities.

Form: 7340-75

28/1

Three-time C&D winner. 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 9700-68

Rockley Point^v⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Sexton| T: K Scott| OR: 45| D

50/1

Thirty-six runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and others make more appeal.

Form: 850440

Sacred Melody^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

66/1

28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago and she looks set for another struggle.

Form: 65-0979

Moorgate^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: P G Murphy| OR: 45| D

80/1

One win from 27 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 66/1) 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes tapeta debut. Readily passed over.

Forecasts

Neptune Legend (2/1), Piperstown (3/1), Rogue Thunder (10/3), Heartrate (7/2), Nordic Glory (5/1), Eldeyaar (15/2), Jumira Bridge (28/1), Rockley Point (50/1), Sacred Melody (66/1), Moorgate (80/1)

Having taken a step back in the right direction at Lingfield recently, NORDIC GLORY could be the answer. He's effectively 3 lb lower in the weights here (eased 1 lb since and was 2 lb 'wrong' at Lingfield) and shades preference ahead of Neptune Legend, who has been in good form in classified events in recent weeks. Eldeyaar has slipped to a dangerous mark and is third choice.
