Toca Madera⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 95| C

3/1

Runner-up at Newmarket in April after winter break. Quickly bounced back from Goodwood disappointment when third of 17 in handicap at York (18/1) 4 days ago, making headway and staying on well. Less exposed than most at this level and capable of adding to career victories.

Form: 196-263

Woolhampton¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 93| CD

22/1

C&D winner who won at Nottingham (heavy) in October but struggled since, finishing eighth of 10 in 6f handicap at Ascot (40/1) 10 days ago when lacking application. Drop back to 5f may help but needs to show more enthusiasm.

Form: 0610-98

Paddy's Day⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 89| C| D

11/1

In excellent form with four consecutive all-weather wins at Newcastle this winter. Finished third of 8 in a handicap at Musselburgh (9/2) 47 days ago, continuing in good heart returned to turf. Should remain competitive.

Form: 7-11113

Rhythm N Hooves^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 89| D

5/1

Won at Southwell in March, and typically gave his running returned to turf when fourth of 7 in a Goodwood handicap (10/1) 17 days ago, leading briefly.

Form: 131424

Regal Envoy^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Knight| OR: 88| D

7/2

In good form with three wins from last five starts. Finished second of 10 in a handicap at this course over 6f a week ago, running as well in defeat as when winning the time before. Equally effective over this shorter trip and should go well again.

Form: 611-412

(4)

Ziggy's Missile^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 87| D

10/1

Nottingham winner last month and followed up a fortnight later in 13-runner handicap at Southwell (9/2) 22 days ago, showing good attitude to hold on when challenged. Up 3 lb but should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 25-6411

Existent¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 83| D

9/1

Runner-up for the third time in a row in 7-runner 5f handicap at Goodwood (11/1) 17 days ago, doing well considering he was 3 lb out of the weights. Winless in 39 attempts since early 2022 so clearly needs everything to fall right.

Form: 343222

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Toca Madera (3/1), Regal Envoy (7/2), Rhythm N Hooves (5/1), Jumbeau (6/1), Existent (9/1), Ziggy's Missile (10/1), Paddy's Day (11/1), Woolhampton (22/1), Twilight Jet (40/1)

This looks fairly open but TOCA MADERA ran another cracker when third in a slightly deeper handicap than this at York on Saturday and on that evidence, he's ready to win from this mark. Regal Envoy has been running consistently well and is a player again with this drop back in trip no issue. Paddy's Day maintained his excellent AW form on turf last time and completes the shortlist.
