Neptune Legend^b,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| CD

10/3

Opened account for the year in minor event at Southwell in February and has continued in good heart since, third of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 2 weeks ago. Major player with blinkers back on.

Form: 221323

Ravensbourne^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Michael Keady| OR: 53| D

9/1

Finally off the mark at Chelmsford City in January. After 5 weeks off, did too much too soon when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 17/2) 16 days ago, so she could fare better with visor reapplied.

Form: 3-31656

(4)

Porfin^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 51| CD

16/1

Four-time course winner, with latest success in January. However, well below form last 3 starts, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 14/1) 12 days ago, so he needs to bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 312790

Bear To Dream¹⁶

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

12/1

Creditable third here (6f) on return and run best excused when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 25/1) 16 days ago, hampered final 1f. Not ruled out having dropped back down to her last winning mark.

Form: 4977-36

Mashaan¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 50| CD

4/1

Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton in December and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Could be thereabouts.

Form: 13-3624

(7)

Outreach^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 49| D

10/1

Successful in minor event at Wolverhampton in February. Failed to repeat that effort when sixth of 11 in another minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 16/1) a month ago, though raced wide with no cover. Others still more persuasive.

Form: 787-416

(9)

Comedian Leader^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 48| D

3/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2024 but got back on track when third of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 25/1) a week ago, coming from further back than the front pair. Task is now to build on her latest effort.

Form: 230-573

(5)

Edergole's Gift³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 47| CD

33/1

Sole success at this C&D last summer. Her form has gone the wrong way, though, last of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 33/1) a month ago. Blinkers discarded as she goes back up in trip.

Form: 1487-70

(8)

Regal Glory⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Bradley| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 45| CD

6/1

Only victory came at this C&D back in 2022, but she stepped forward from her recent run when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 25/1) 40 days ago. More needed, though, if she's to get her head back in front.

Form: 5364-54

Forecasts

Comedian Leader (3/1), Neptune Legend (10/3), Mashaan (4/1), Regal Glory (6/1), Galel (7/1), Ravensbourne (9/1), Outreach (10/1), Bear To Dream (12/1), Porfin (16/1), Edergole's Gift (33/1)

NEPTUNE LEGEND has yet to finish outside of the placings this year, successful at Southwell in February and running well back up in trip when third at Newcastle last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways with blinkers reapplied. Galel promises to be suited by a return to this longer distance and could be the main danger, with Mashaan also in the mix.
