3/1
C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good, 15/2), not knocked about. Off 7 months but he made a winning reappearance last season and may well repeat the dose.

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good, 9/2) 24 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

7/2
C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (3/1) at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Holding his form well and should be in the mix once more.

7/2, won 12-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago, readily. This is more demanding up 6 lb.

7/1
Unreliable sort. First run since leaving Michael & David Easterby when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7f, AW) 18 days ago, very slowly away. Likely to find a few too good once more.

10/1
C&D winner. One win from 34 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago, running on. Tongue strap back on. 30-race losing run is a worry but he's one to consider all the same.

17/2
C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/1) 13 days ago, left with too much to do. One or two of these are more appealing.

Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in December. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 5 days ago. Should be on the premises.

Forecasts

Hoornblower (3/1), Calanthe (7/2), Saturnalia (11/2), Union Island (6/1), Royal Pleasure (7/1), Mr Fustic (17/2), Francesi (10/1), Darvel (20/1), King Cabo (28/1)

Verdict

Having scored on his seasonal reappearance in 2024, the lack of a recent run is not a concern for HOORNBLOWER and he could be the answer with Rossa Ryan doing the steering. Francesi heads the list of dangers, with the consistent Calanthe and Union Island also likely to be involved in the finish.

  1. Hoornblower3/1
  2. Francesi10/1
  3. Calanthe7/2
