25/1

28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance 35 days ago. Needs have come on a fair bit.

Amayretto³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| C| D

2/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (7f, good) on reappearance 31 days ago, kept up to work. A 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 55762-1

Lumenbourg^v³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58| D

9/4

Latest win at Southwell in February. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Thirsk (7f, good) 34 days ago. Considered.

Sunny Orange^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| D

15/2

Tenth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 16/1) on reappearance 14 days ago. Mark on the slide but Amayretto has to be considered the yard first string.

Form: 36346-0

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 55| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 887024

Wiggins B^b1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: T D Barron| OR: 52

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 on 6f course handicap debut and reappearance 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers are reached for now. Worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 005-9

Going Underground^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 48| D

Spartan Fighter^v²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 45| D

40/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 24 days ago. This is a rare turf start for him these days.

T: Mrs I G-Leveque J: L Morris

Forecasts

Amayretto (2/1), Lumenbourg (9/4), Kalganov (11/2), Bobby Joe Leg (15/2), Sunny Orange (15/2), Once Adaay (16/1), B Associates (20/1), Safanah (25/1), Going Underground (28/1), Wiggins B (33/1), Spartan Fighter (40/1)

AMAYRETTO only had to be kept up to her work to score on Doncaster reappearance and might be able to cope with a 4 lb rise. Lumenbourg rates a danger after his last Thirsk second. Kalganov is another who arrives in reasonable form.
