18/1

Has shown poor form in handicaps since last win in July 2023, finishing seventh of 10 at Brighton (25/1) 3 days ago when weakening 2f out. Lots to prove.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Fred Daly| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 49

11/2

Generally modest in handicaps with better performances on AW than turf. Finished fifth of 10 in a handicap here over 8f (12/1) 14 days ago, running as well as she has managed on grass. First-time cheekpieces might help her build on that.

Form: 6966-65

Hinitsa Bay²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace| T: Ian Williams| OR: 49

4/6

Made vast improvement when second of 8 in handicap over 8f at this course (5/1) 21 days ago, keeping up the gallop well despite racing freely early. Open to further improvement stepping down in trip so claims are obvious.

Form: 50/52

4/1

Four-time winner. Finished fourth of 10 in handicap at this course over 8f (22/1) 14 days ago, beaten on merit. Drop back to 7f unlikely to spark significant improvement based on recent efforts.

Form: 550-594

20/1

Eight runs since last win but shaped as though retaining ability after 11 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (100/1) 27 days ago, forcing the pace from well out of the handicap. Needs to build on that return.

Form: 23008-4

40/1

Lightly raced in recent times, fifth of 8 in a handicap at Newmarket (100/1) 27 days ago, pushed along and one paced.

Form: 100/98-5

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lillie Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 45| C

12/1

Ran respectably to finish fourth over C&D after 12 weeks off, but finished last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (18/1) 27 days ago when awkward leaving stalls. First-time cheekpieces tried on return to the scene of sole career win and back on correct mark.

Form: 460-848

My Boy Jack⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Alfie Gee⁽⁷⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 45

22/1

Showed some improvement in March with better efforts at Wolverhampton and Newcastle. Finished fourth of 7 in a minor race at Newcastle (9/1) over 6f 84 days ago, racing in rear before making some late headway. Without a win in 20 races now, but back up in trip with headgear off on turf return.

Forecasts

Hinitsa Bay (4/6), Heer's Sadie (4/1), Specialist View (11/2), Arc Shadowfax (10/1), Zina Colada (12/1), Eight Mile (18/1), Hold The Press (20/1), My Boy Jack (22/1), Elzour (25/1), Basharat (40/1)

HINITSA BAY showed vastly improved form when runner-up at this course recently and is fancied to go one better dropping back to 7f for his second handicap start. Arc Shadowfax has better recent AW form but remains capable in this grade, while My Boy Jack could benefit from the step back up in trip returned to turf.
