City Cyclone¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| D

11/4

3 wins from 8 runs this year and has been a credit to connections. 11/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, kept up to work. Remains one to be interested in at this level.

Form: 342821

Land Of Magic^h,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 69| D

14/1

Excuses at Newbury on final run of 2024 and ran poorly after 7 months off when last of 10 in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) 21 days ago. Something to prove and she may be better on a slower surface.

Form: 61225-0

Thapa VC^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M G Rimell| OR: 69| D

2/1

Built on the promise of last run to capitalise on a falling mark when landing a 5-runner handicap at Bath (8f, firm) 26 days ago, went with enthusiasm and led final 50 yards for just one tap of the whip. Remains fairly treated on best form and should be competitive back at 7f.

Wilde And Dandy^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jordan Nason⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 65| D

9/2

Bounced back to form of late (had previously been starting slowly) 16/1, respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 28 days ago. Tongue strap back on and should be in the mix in this sort of company.

Form: 729737

Francisco¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: P R Chamings| OR: 63| D

5/1

Often starts slowly. Winner at Wolverhampton in April but failed to back that up when below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 18 days ago. Return to 7f may suit better but comes with risks attached.

Form: 823716

Harbour Vision^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 63| D

8/1

Typically an all-weather performer. Back to form when creditable 1¼ lengths third of 9 to City Cyclone in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) 12 days ago, running on. Remains to be seen if he can repeat that back on turf.

Forecasts

Thapa VC (2/1), City Cyclone (11/4), Wilde And Dandy (9/2), Francisco (5/1), Harbour Vision (8/1), Land Of Magic (14/1), Court Of Session (50/1)

The consistent CITY CYCLONE was as good as ever when landing a Wolverhampton handicap earlier this month and he may be able to follow up back on turf. Thapa Vc returned to winning ways at Bath last time and should be in the mix again from a 2 lb higher mark, with Wilde and Dandy respected having bounced back to form in recent starts.
