Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 79| CD

5/1

Far from the most resolute performer but is going through a good spell at the moment, winning over C&D and Windsor. Not taken lightly.

South Parade²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

10/1

Reliable sort. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 3/1) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Needs considering.

4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on. Can give another good account.

Isle Of Lismore³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 76| D

13/2

Ended 2024 out of sorts but took a big step back in the right direction when fourth at Newmarket (5f, good) on reappearance. Failed to build on that at Ascot next time, however.

11/1

3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Close fourth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good) 11 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

10/1

9/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, slowly away. Player if building on that.

Forecasts

Spring Is Sprung (7/2), Nogo's Dream (5/1), Isle Of Lismore (13/2), Diamond Dreamer (7/1), Catch Cunningham (9/1), Agostino (10/1), South Parade (10/1), Night On Earth (10/1), Hedge Fund (10/1), Rosenpur (11/1), Fletcher's Flight (18/1), Dashing Harry (20/1)

HEDGE FUND was well backed starting out for a yard that does well with new recruits at Pontefract on return but wasn't seen to best effect and is worth another chance. This does look competitive, though, with South Parade and Spring Is Sprung heading the dangers.
