6/1
C&D winner has placed twice this year but had no excuses when fifth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (6.1f) last time. Has been given a break and no surprise to see him bounce back to form.

6/1
Consistent filly justified support to record her second success of the year when winning a 7f handicap at this course 20 days ago, deserving extra credit for overcoming the widest stall. Up 5 lb but should remain competitive back at 6f.

5/2
C&D winner has been improving on the all-weather and was better than ever when winning 7-runner handicap (5/4) at Southwell (6.1f) 18 days ago. Seems sure to go well again.

Veteran 3-time C&D winner ran better than previously when fourth of 17 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 12 days ago. Capable of hitting the frame from his falling handicap mark.

C&D winner in February but well below form in two subsequent starts, running too badly to be true back on turf last time. Needs to bounce back.

11/5
3-time all-weather winner in 2023 and took a step back in the right direction in first-time tongue strap (after 10 weeks off) when second in a C&D handicap a week ago, slowly away and no match for well-handicapped winner. Remains to be seen if he can build on that.

Forecasts

Bill Plumb (11/5), Jesse Luc (5/2), Muscika (11/2), Bint Havana Gold (6/1), Ultramarine (6/1), Temple Bruer (14/1)

Verdict

The improving and consistent JESSE LUC gets the vote ahead of Ultramarine, who would be a threat if bouncing back to form following a break, while the veteran Muscika isn't ruled out from his falling handicap mark. The consistent Bint Havana Gold arrives in great heart and should give another good account.

  1. Jesse Luc5/2
  2. Ultramarine6/1
  3. Muscika11/2
