Spirit Mixer³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| D

3/1

A dual 2m scorer last term and he posted a good seventh of 15 in Chester Cup (18.6f, good) 30 days ago. A likely player off an easing mark.

Form: 8110-57

Good Show⁷⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 88

12/1

Off the track since coming in last of 19 in 2m handicap at Newcastle 23 months ago on his final run for Keith Dalgleish. Has his fitness to prove for his new stable here.

Form: 203180/

Zinc White⁶⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87

9/1

A fairly useful 2m2f scorer but he's been off the track since coming in 18th of 20 in 2m handicap at Galway 22 months ago. Others appeal more on this occasion.

Call My Bluff^p⁷⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 87| BF| CD

16/1

C&D winner but not seen out since posting a very good third of 16 in Chester Cup in 2023. Another with his fitness to prove but handily weighted if fully tuned up.

Victory Shout²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 87

20/1

In good nick without winning this term, fourth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, firm) 29 days ago. Not ruled out stepping up markedly in trip.

Form: 201-264

Sheradann^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 86

14/1

Went backwards from his reappearance when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago. More is required if he's to gain a first victory since 2023.

Form: 0932-76

Almuhit^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 84

6/1

Won twice over hurdles for Gary Brown in March and even better form when second in 19.5f Punchestown handicap hurdle for her new yard. Pulled up (reportedly took a false step soon after start) over C&D last time. Worth another chance.

Form: 9/5404-P

(7)

Morning Air³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 82| D

11/1

Made a winning debut for current yard over hurdles in December and not discredited back on Flat when ninth of 15 in Chester Cup 30 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 31/442-9

Aggagio¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 79| CD

9/5

A four-time course winner who posted another solid effort when third of 12 over C&D 16 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts once more.

Form: 623/8-43

Forecasts

Aggagio (9/5), Spirit Mixer (3/1), Youthful King (3/1), Almuhit (6/1), Zinc White (9/1), Morning Air (11/1), Good Show (12/1), Sheradann (14/1), Call My Bluff (16/1), Victory Shout (20/1)

A few of these have something to prove and this looks a good opportunity for SPIRIT MIXER to build on his good seventh in the Chester Cup last time and open his account for the season. Youthful King heads the list of dangers on the back of a resurgent Salisbury second, while Morning Air, Aggagio and Almuhit also need considering.
