4/6

Found improvement for longer trip in handicaps, landing a brace of 10f Windsor handicaps, travelled strongly when landing 11-runner race 7 days ago. Carries penalty but unexposed sort should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

12/1

Course winner stepped up on reappearance when fourth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 26 days ago, not ideally placed. Only 1 lb above last successful mark and is one to consider back on turf.

Form: 8180-64

Incan Empire^t1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 55

14/1

Modest form in all-weather maiden/handicaps but yet to prove himself as effective on turf. sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Needs to improve with tongue strap on first time.

Form: 6-54356

Tazaman³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: K Frost| OR: 54| D

5/1

Probably isn't the force of old but produced another creditable effort over a staying distance when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 30 days ago. Should be competitive back down in trip.

Form: 5592-53

Walk The Moon¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

7/1

Fairly consistent on the all-weather this year and bounced back to form returned to turf when creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account but overall strike rate (0-22) tempers enthusiasm.

Daring Leader²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 45

10/1

Ran better than for a while on first run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when respectable third of 12 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can back that up from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 630-593

Forest Haze²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 45

20/1

Unable to build on creditable stable debut, running a moody race when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/1) 26 days ago, slowly away. Something to prove on turf debut from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0-86740

Temur Khan³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

66/1

Hasn't fired since winning at Lingfield last summer. Latest 66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Out of the weights and best to look elsewhere.

Form: 9690-09

Forecasts

Crowd Quake (4/6), Tazaman (5/1), Walk The Moon (7/1), Daring Leader (10/1), Mrs Meader (12/1), Incan Empire (14/1), Forest Haze (20/1), Temur Khan (66/1)

CROWD QUAKE has looked a different proposition over 10f and there could well be more improvement to come over this longer trip. He can land the hat-trick at the expense of the consistent Tazaman, who arrives in good heart, while Mrs Meader is another to consider now only 1 lb higher than her last winning mark.
