Hosanna Power¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

7/2

Previously trained by Sir Michael Stoute and, with reappearance run behind him, bounced back to best when third of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 10 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal from 3 lb lower than when winning at Newbury a year ago.

Form: 3965-73

(8)

Sea Legend¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 77| D

9/2

Having previously been trained by Donald McCain, stepped up on stable debut when fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 10 days ago, despite having been short of room final 1f. One to note having won off 3 lb higher mark last year.

Form: 825-634

Pol Roger^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 75| CD

11/4

Recorded back-to-back wins over C&D last May, including this corresponding race. After 7 months off, returned to form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 12/1) 25 days ago, so he could be in the mix with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 23700-5

Crimson Road^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: S Corbett| OR: 75| D

28/1

Won twice in 2024 when trained by Simon & Ed Crisford. However, ended the year with a lesser effort and has struggled in 3 starts this season, last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 50/1) 11 days ago.

Form: 310-088

(9)

Shimmering Sands¹⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| D

17/2

Without a win last year but made the frame 5 times. Below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 13/2) on final outing in December, though he's capable of getting involved if ready to go after 5 months off.

Form: 323246-

Mister Daydream¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 75| D

6/1

Made all at Beverley in April, before taking another step forward when following up at Hamilton. After 6 days off, only sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 17/2) in hat-trick bid 11 days ago, but he's not one to write off.

Form: 54-5116

(2)

Jujubella^p⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 70| D

9/1

Has benefited from going up in trip this year, recording a third success at Newcastle when landing 7-runner handicap (10.2f, 11/1) in March. The form of latest win has worked out well, so she's not taken lightly as she returns to turf.

Form: 4-11391

(6)

Glasses Up²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: R M Smith| OR: 67| CD

17/2

After just 3 days off, made it back-to-back wins at this course when making all in 8-runner handicap over C&D (good, 13/8) 20 days ago. Has now won 10 times here so he has to be respected despite the step back up in grade.

Form: 48-3411

(5)

Sophiesticate²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 61| CD

40/1

C&D winner whose latest success came at Musselburgh (12.5f) back in June 2023. After 19 months off, finished well held when ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 20/1) 23 days ago, but this run should reveal more.

Form: 42659/9

Forecasts

Pol Roger (11/4), Hosanna Power (7/2), Sea Legend (9/2), Mister Daydream (6/1), Glasses Up (17/2), Shimmering Sands (17/2), Jujubella (9/1), Crimson Road (28/1), Sophiesticate (40/1)

HOSANNA POWER left his seasonal/stable debut effort behind when third at Newcastle 10 days ago and he could be ready to take advantage of his current mark this time around. Heading the list of dangers is 10-time course winner Glasses Up, who can make a bold bid for the hat-trick, with Jujubella also considered given the improvement she has shown this year.
