Twilight Madness¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carver| T: S Hodgson| OR: 68| D

3/1

Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Major player off a 2 lb lower back on the AW.

Form: 420-795

Jojo Rabbit^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65| D

12/1

7/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights but others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 7463-76

Agostino¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 63| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 7/1) when last seen in December. Needs to bounce back but he will certainly have an each-way chance if able to do so.

Buraback³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: D Shaw| OR: 62| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win here in April. Last of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 31 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.

100/1

40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 13 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Agostino (11/4), Twilight Madness (3/1), Dark Side Prince (7/2), Smooth Silesie (5/1), Buraback (13/2), Jojo Rabbit (12/1), Colors Of Freedom (25/1), Zola Power (100/1)

Having shaped as though his turn is near dropped to 0-70 company on turf recently, TWILIGHT MADNESS is very appealing back on the all-weather. Indeed, the 7-y-o boasts a far more compelling strike rate on synthetics (6-26 compared to 1-14 on turf) and is now 8 lb below his last winning mark. The consistent Smooth Silesie will surely be on the premises if ready to go following a break, while Agostino and Dark Side Prince both make some each-way appeal.
