Ocean Heights^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 70

2/1

On a hat-trick after wins at Doncaster and Haydock under Jack Dace last month. 4 lb higher now but retains handicapping scope on old form. Bold show likely.

Form: 655811

Lusaka^b1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: J L Flint| OR: 69

50/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (2m) 12 days ago. Back down in trip with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. Needs to stage a revival.

Form: 8615-09

Alpine Stroll²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Wigham| OR: 69| D

11/1

Successful twice around 1½m on turf last year but ended 2024 with a couple off below-par efforts on AW. Can be excused his reappearance run (hampered) but others arrive with less to prove.

Form: 21470-0

Naasma⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 67| BF| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Creditable placed efforts on AW on first 2 outings this season but latest Lingfield fifth was below par.

Form: 317-325

(2)

Moonlit Cloud¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: D K Ivory| OR: 65

8/1

Might have needed the run on last month's AW reappearance and dangerous to discount under De Sousa having dipped to 5 lb below the mark she defied at Bath last May.

Form: 75880-9

Nowhere^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 65

8/1

Some creditable efforts on AW since joining Tom Ward and caught too far back when only eighth of 12 at Kempton latest (likely still in form). Makes a rather belated turf debut.

Form: 6-94248

(4)

Fihrayn^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: J R Boyle| OR: 64

18/1

Placed in blinkers on final 2 starts for Richard Hannon. Not so good in a change of headgear (cheekpieces) on first start for Jim Boyle and the blinkers quickly return.

Form: 46-3328

(3)

Boy George²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 62| CD

2/1

C&D winner who was better than ever when adding to his tally on his seasonal return at Chepstow (1½m, good to firm) 27 days ago. A 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing with Oisin Murphy taking the reins.

Form: 19778-1

Forecasts

Boy George (2/1), Ocean Heights (2/1), Mrembo (9/2), Naasma (6/1), Moonlit Cloud (8/1), Nowhere (8/1), Carp Kid (10/1), Alpine Stroll (11/1), Kentucky Kingdom (14/1), Fihrayn (18/1), Lawn Ranger (25/1), Lusaka (50/1)

OCEAN HEIGHTS remains well treated on his best form and might be able to complete a hat-trick. Oisin Murphy's mount Boy George rates an obvious danger on the back of his comfortable success, while Moonlit Cloud is on a good mark if bouncing back to form with an outing under her belt.
