Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Jamie Osborne when tenth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Virtue Temperance^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 64| D

8/1

9/2, good sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time and can give another good account.

Form: 4712-26

(5)

Toolatetonegotiate^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 63

2/1

Is knocking on the door, second of 10 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 43-2422

She Went Whoosh²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 63| BF| D

11/2

Winner here in April. Only sixth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm, 2/1) 20 days ago so needs to get back on track.

Form: 524516

(4)

Hello Luna^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G Portman| OR: 63

10/3

Visored and took a step forward on her handicap debut when fourth of 10 at Windsor (5.1f, good) 15 days ago, making her effort earlier than ideal. A likely player eased 1 lb here.

Form: 3-954

(3)

Flicka's Girl⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 62| D

28/1

Winless since her debut but not disgraced on her yard bow (formerly with David Loughnane) when sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 93 days ago. Much respected after a break.

Form: 676-536

(6)

Watkins^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55

22/1

Still a maiden and he didn't look an easy ride when fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) 20 days ago, racing freely and hanging left last 1f. Others are preferred.

Form: 646525

Forecasts

Toolatetonegotiate (2/1), Hello Luna (10/3), She Went Whoosh (11/2), Ghostman (13/2), Virtue Temperance (8/1), Sandscreendeliverd (10/1), Watkins (22/1), Flicka's Girl (28/1)

Jonathan Portman's HELLO LUNA advanced her form when fourth at Windsor on her recent handicap bow despite not being seen to ideal effect either, so she is taken to get off the mark and fend off Dylan Cunha's handily-weighted Ghostman. Both Toolatetonegotiate and Virtue Temperance need factoring into this tight-knit handicap too.
