Royal Accord⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 58

9/4

Steadily come to hand for new yard and duly built on his promising Bath second, when winning 10-runner handicap (15/8) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago, that despite being caught wider than ideal. Sound follow-up claims with his rider's valuable claim off-setting his 5 lb rise.

Form: 44-7521

(8)

Auntie Jo¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 57

12/1

Remains a maiden after 10 starts but unlucky not to finish closer when fifth in handicap at Newcastle (5f) in March. However, well held without an obvious excuse when seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 4/1) 15 days ago.

Form: 883-357

Watkins¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55

50/1

Eyeshields on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap (25/1) at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded but he does need to step up if he's to feature.

Form: 7-07646

Wee Mary¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 54

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, showed considerably more than previously starting out for new yard when second of 8 on handicap debut at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Displayed good early speed then, which ought to count for something at this level. Respected.

Form: 069-2

Hidden Verse⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 52

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 9 days ago, folding tamely having disputed the lead until over 1f out. Others more convincing.

Form: 047-99

Trust Sergei³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S D Bowen| T: G Hanmer| OR: 49

7/4

Sergei Prokofiev colt who surpassed the form showed in maidens when third of 11 on handicap debut at this course (6.1f) 32 days ago, no extra final 1f. Unexposed at the minimum trip and that may not prove his limit on the back of just 4 career starts.

Form: 7-093

Miss Campanella²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

66/1

Maiden who was off the bridle most of the way and never figured when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 80/1) 25 days ago. Can only be watched.

Form: 087-866

ROYAL ACCORD has steadily found his feet for the Stuart Williams' yard, building on his Bath second when opening his account at Lingfield 9 days ago. He's fancied to follow up with Warren Fentiman's valuable claim negating his rise in the weights. Wee Mary and Trust Sergei both showed more on their respective handicap debuts latest and may pose chief resistance.
