Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 70| BF| D

12/1

Good second of 7 in handicap (13/8) at Southwell (8.1f). Off 6 months but can give another good account if he's fully tuned-up for this.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 70| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 6 months and he looks vulnerable from a win perspective.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J Ferguson| OR: 69

9/2

9/1

Won 8-runner handicap (28/1) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough but he's far from certain to reproduce that form, given his up-and-down profile.

Form: 1-67881

Jez Bomb^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Gray| T: S England| OR: 67| CD

10/3

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 4/1) 11 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Mount King. Enters calculations.

Form: 116-521

Fletchers Dream¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 66

33/1

Latest win at Newcastle in November. Eighth of 10 in handicap (18/1) there (6f). Off 137 days. Significantly back up in trip and needs to get back on track.

Wilde And Dandy¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 66

16/1

20/1, creditable 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Jez Bomb in handicap at this C&D (good) 11 days ago, running on. Shouldn't be too far away but likely to find one or two too good all the same.

Form: 2-72973

(10)

Temper Trap^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

28/1

Five lengths sixth of 8 to Jez Bomb in handicap (28/1) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 42522-6

12/1

8/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 43320-8

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| C| D

20/1

Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 8½ lengths last of 8 to Jez Bomb in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/1) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

18/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 5/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Jez Bomb (10/3), Bernalda (9/2), Mount King (5/1), Cosmos Raj (13/2), Park Street (8/1), Super Hit (9/1), Triggerman (12/1), Bulmer Bank (12/1), Wilde And Dandy (16/1), Another Baar (16/1), Visibility (18/1), Carnival Zain (18/1), Makalu (20/1), Temper Trap (28/1), Fletchers Dream (33/1), Rebelsontherun (100/1)

The vote goes to COSMOS RAJ, who remains on a good mark following a string of solid efforts in defeat in recent months. Another Baar shaped better than the result at Catterick and he is likely to be in the mix, along with Jez Bomb and Mount King, who were first and second respectively over C&D recently.
