Phaedra¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 68| D

5/2

Well-bred filly followed up her Chepstow success with a workmanlike success under a penalty at Windsor (11.4f) 3 days later. Has been freshened up and makes plenty of appeal in her bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 75-5311

Synergism¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 68| BF

6/4

Promising sort. Strong in betting and much improved to make a winning handicap debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and ran at least as well in defeat when 30/100, second of 4 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 14 days ago, just failing in a tactical affair. Remains capable of better.

Form: 079-12

Ray Gun^b1,t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 68| D

22/1

Winner at Kempton in February but has underperformed in cheekpieces on last two outings. Now tried in blinkers for turf debut and will need to improve.

Form: 122263

Wondrous Light³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 67

14/1

Promising start when second in 10-runner Leicester maiden (8.2f, heavy) in October and showed something like that form on reappearance after 6 months off when Fourth of 9 in novice (50/1) at Kempton (12f) 31 days ago. Should be sharper for that but still has a bit to find on handicap debut.

Form: 28-4

(8)

Westlain³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate| T: Jack Jones| OR: 66

12/1

Minor promise in maiden company but disappointed on handicap debut when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 32 days ago. Up in trip and needs to raise his game.

Form: 54-09

(7)

Motabaah¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 65

16/1

Mohaather filly who shaped with definite promise for Richard Hannon last summer. Switched yards for 10,000 but made underwhelming stable debut prior to looking laboured when fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm, 11/1) 12 days ago. Marked step up in trip raises further questions.

Form: 656-74

(6)

Betelgeuse⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: S Woods| OR: 65

10/1

Available at long odds when making little impact in maidens (has been slowly away in 2 of 3 starts). Could do better now handicapping and is one to keep an eye on for market support.

Form: 87-6

(1)

Divot²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR: 62

8/1

Glimmers of ability in 3 starts as a juvenile (gelded after final run of 2024). Failed to come on for his reappearance when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newbury (10f, firm) 22 days ago. Difficult to fancy unless the market hints at something of a revival.

Form: 674-80

Non-Runners

Infantry Officer⁶²

Weight: 9-3| Age: 3

T: M L W Bell J: Joe Bradnam

Forecasts

Synergism (6/4), Phaedra (5/2), Infantry Officer (7/1), Divot (8/1), Betelgeuse (10/1), Westlain (12/1), Wondrous Light (14/1), Motabaah (16/1), Ray Gun (22/1)

PHAEDRA is bred for middle distances and showed improved form to land a quick fire double when stepped up in trip last month. She remains open to improvement and is taken to land the hat-trick at the expense of Infantry Officer who wasn't disgraced in a higher grade on the all-weather last time, and could be a big threat back on turf, while Synergism wasn't seen to best effect in a tactical race at Catterick and remains capable of better.
