6/4

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 20 days ago, well on top finish. Up 6 lb for that but he should make his presence felt once again.

Form: 6392-21

11/2

Last of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to soft, 10/3) 23 days ago. That was too bad to be true and she remains of interest in view of her C&D reappearance success in March.

28/1

Twice-raced winner. Successful at Wolverhampton in March. Seventh of 10 in novice at Kempton (8f, 8/1) 29 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and improvement needed.

Form: 17

Killenaule²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 77

5/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good, 12/1) 26 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he merits consideration.

Form: 3-36

(3)

Nanny Park¹⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 76

11/1

Thrice-raced winner. 9/4, won 14-runner novice at Kempton (8f) when last seen in December. More will be needed now handicapping but opening mark looks fair and she may well progress now faced with a stiffer test.

Form: 521-

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. 2 lb lower here and he's not without hope.

Whether the conditions were to blame or it was simply a 'bad day at the office', LADY CHARTWELL clearly didn't give her running in a handicap at the Newmarket Craven meeting and she is well worth another chance. Indeed, the Churchill filly was pretty impressive when getting the better of a subsequent winner over this C&D in March and she certainly wouldn't be the first from this yard to quickly bounce back from a low-key run. Killenaule and Nanny Park rate the main dangers.
