Lunar Power^b²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Fern O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 70| D

11/1

Has gone over 2 years without a win under either code and didn't show enough in 2 turf handicaps last month to be overly positive here.

Form: 8/759-74

Moel Arthur^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 69| D

13/8

Latest win at Lingfield (2m) in January. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 8 in C&D handicap 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Back to only 1 lb above his latest winning mark.

Form: 7-14937

Green Team^p⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Dace⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

5/1

Successful over 1½m and 1¾m at Wolverhampton in March but has yet to show his best form over 2m+.

Form: 2-62911

Indigo Times⁵⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 68| CD

16/1

Seven-time winner for David Simcock earlier in career but off since finishing fifth over C&D in January 2024. Betting probably the best guide to expectations given the lay-off.

Form: 7662/05-

Zivaniya^b,t¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Wright| T: H Palmer| OR: 59| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Disappointing at Newcastle when last seen in February but had run well over this C&D prior to that and is well handicapped if staging a revival after a break.

Form: 730-535

(3)

Fram Castle²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Taryn Langley⁽³⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 54

9/4

Fit from hurdling, ran creditably back on the Flat when third of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (1¾m, firm) last month and found himself caught too far back when down the field at Newbury (1½m) since. First Flat start over 2m.

Form: 3988-30

Forecasts

Moel Arthur (13/8), Fram Castle (9/4), Green Team (5/1), Zivaniya (7/1), Lunar Power (11/1), Indigo Times (16/1), Super Superjack (25/1)

A chance is taken on ZIVANIYA having dipped to his lowest mark for a while. Moel Arthur had an excuse here last time and is second choice ahead of Fram Castle.
