Radiant Angel^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 58

9/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in February but is yet to prove himself on turf. Below part effort when 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 6 days ago. Others have stronger claims.

Form: 415288

Sisters In The Sky^p⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate| T: G Harris| OR: 55| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 54 days ago. Has been given a break and should be competitive on his return to turf.

Form: 61-5166

(8)

Professor Tickle^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. First run since leaving David Loughnane when eighth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 23 days ago. Entitled to be sharper for that and could have a say with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 00-4468

(6)

Savalas^p³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 47| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Made late inroads to finish respectable third of 10 in a classified stakes at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 39 days ago. Would be suited by a well-run race back at 5f. One to consider.

Form: 19-9573

Tilsworth Ony Ta²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 46| C| D

7/2

Course winner was too free when 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 23 days ago. A stronger pace over 5f would be a benefit. Merits consideration.

Form: 45-3269

(2)

We're Reunited^v³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: M Blake| OR: 45| CD

11/1

C&D winner in 2023 and also hit the frame at this track last year. Poorly placed when well beaten eighth of 10 in a classified stakes at at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 39 days ago. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap but place claims if back on song returning to turf (races from 1 lb out of the handicap).

Form: 6527-68

(4)

Banana^p,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

15/2

Remains a maiden after 47 Flat runs but returned to form when creditable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm, 9/1) 13 days ago. Entitled to be in the mix if she can back that up (races from 1 lb out of the handicap).

Form: 320273

(5)

Midnight Flame^v1¹¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 45

6/1

Remains a maiden after 32 Flat runs. Seemed to be going through the motions when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 28/1). Off 114 days. First-time visor needs to spark a revival racing from 1 lb out of the weights.

Form: 836-509

Forecasts

Tilsworth Ony Ta (7/2), Radiant Angel (9/2), Savalas (5/1), Sisters In The Sky (11/2), Midnight Flame (6/1), Banana (15/2), We're Reunited (11/1), Professor Tickle (12/1)

Very little to separate most of these. Having been too keen to do himself justice over 6f at Brighton, a truly run 5f may see TILSWORTH ONY TA register another course success. Savalas was doing all his best work late at Wolverhampton last time and could be dangerous back at the minimum trip if the race is run to suit, while C&D winner Sisters In The Sky is respected on his return to turf following a break.
