Forest Spirit¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 64| D

11/4

Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 9/2) 15 days ago, caught further back than ideal. That was her first run on turf and, down 1 lb here, she could have a big part to play for her in-form yard.

Form: 2-91163

Sun Tracker¹⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: R T Phillips| OR: 63

12/1

25/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f). Off 154 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Seraphic^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 61| D

13/8

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 10 days ago. Winner of latest start in this sphere at Brighton last month and he's one to consider.

Form: 1564-31

Jenson Benson⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Gina Mangan| T: S Lycett| OR: 56

15/2

Twenty-one runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 366-284

Boy George¹⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 56| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 162 days. Just 1 lb above last winning mark and he's therefore dangerous to discount.

Form: 129778-

Angel On High²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 53

15/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm) 23 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 33620-4

Ladypacksapunch^v²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: S Hitchcott| T: G Harris| OR: 47| D

28/1

One win from 37 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm, 13/2) 23 days ago and she's probably worth taking on.

Form: 6949-39

Forecasts

Seraphic (13/8), Forest Spirit (11/4), Boy George (6/1), Angel On High (15/2), Jenson Benson (15/2), Innisfree Pearl (10/1), Sun Tracker (12/1), Ladypacksapunch (28/1)

Preference is for FOREST SPIRIT, who put in a good shift all things considered when third on recent turf debut at Windsor and she can make a contribution to what is proving to be a very productive spring for the Michael Bell yard. Angel On High should come on for last month's reappearance spin and he is feared most ahead of Seraphic and Boy George.
