Ray Gun^t⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 61| D

4/5

Promising sort. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (12f, 18/5) 5 days ago, well on top finish. Appeals as the type to go improving and he's of strong interest under a penalty.

Form: 5-861

(5)

Return With Gold²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 62

15/2

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 10/1) 24 days ago, responding well. More eneded having gone up 5 lb but this further step up in trip could help bring about further improvement.

Form: 968-1

(6)

Gemmari⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 60| BF

3/1

Promising individual. Good second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 10/3) 40 days ago, needing stronger gallop. His mark has surprisingly been left untouched and he's a big player. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 807-2

(3)

Flaine^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56

25/1

Latest win at Southwell in December. Fourth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at this course (9.5f) 14 days ago. Up in trip and, stil 3 lb above her last winning mark, she looks vulnerable.

Form: 2310-34

(2)

Sydney Whistler⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J S Moore| OR: 53

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, 8 lengths last of 7 to Ray Gun in handicap at Kempton (12f) 5 days ago. Clearly has work to do.

Form: 070-27

(1)

The Kamikaze King¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 49

16/1

Very good third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 17/2) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Shapes as though this step up in trip will be in his favour and he's not discounted.

Form: 8607-83

Forecasts

Ray Gun (4/5), Gemmari (3/1), Return With Gold (15/2), Sydney Whistler (9/1), The Kamikaze King (16/1), Flaine (25/1)

The well-bred GEMMARI took a sizeable step forward when going close off this mark on his handicap debut at Kempton last month and can go one better here. Ray Gun and Return With Gold both improved for the switch to handicaps on their latest starts, too, scoring at Kempton and Newcastle respectively, and rate the main dangers in that order of preference. The Kamikaze King could also have a part to play if able to build on his latest effort.
