Many A Star^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 86| D

9/1

Three wins from 9 runs this year, latest at Southwell in February. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 22/1) 8 days ago, considering he raced wide and this is an easier handicap.

Form: 117574

Havana Pusey⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: J Gallagher| OR: 84| BF| CD

11/10

C&D winner. 4/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, though that effort easy to excuse as she was badly hampered. Better judged on earlier form.

Form: 020-240

Treacherous²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 80| D

10/1

Latest win at Kempton in October. Good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 20 days ago. That was a pleasing return from 6 months off.

Form: 12013-2

Spring Bloom³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 76| C| D

7/2

Course winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 8/1) 3 days ago, though he flashed his tail when hitting the front. Quirky but clearly in good order.

Form: 6444-62

Asinara^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: C Hills| OR: 67| D

7/2

Maiden winner last summer and shaped well when third of 17 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, headed late. Should strip fitter for that and this mark is within range.

Form: 21335-3

Forecasts

Havana Pusey (11/10), Asinara (7/2), Spring Bloom (7/2), Many A Star (9/1), Treacherous (10/1)

ASINARA's reappearance was full of promise and expected to tighten up a bit for that reappearance, this low-mileage 4-y-o looks the answer. Havana Pusey had a ready excuse at Leicester and is fancied to get back on track, with the quirky Spring Bloom likely to be involved in the finish again turned out quickly.
