9/2

6-time course winner wasn't disgraced when last of 7 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, having been positioned further away from the rail than ideal. No surprise to see her go well.

Form: 783277

Papabella²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: W S Kittow| OR: 64| D

6/4

Dual 6f winner last season and deserves extra credit for most recent effort when respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Should be in the mix again.

Form: 1313-24

Vaunted²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 61| CD

10/1

Won 3 of final 6 starts last year, including over this C&D and returned to form from out of the blue on third start this season when third of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Will need to step forward again to win this.

Form: 101-003

Stalingrad²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Leavy| T: P R Chamings| OR: 61| CD

10/1

Only raced twice since winning over C&D in April 2023 and clearly hasn't been the easiest to keep sound. Shaped as if needing the run when eighth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 28/1) 21 days ago. Remains to be seen whether he's the force of old.

Form: 6241/4-8

Savannah Smiles^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: G Harris| OR: 58| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner is in good form and has placed here on last 3 starts, latest when third of 8 in handicap at this course (5.1f, soft, 9/4) 9 days ago. Solid claims back at 6f.

Form: 78-8233

Call Time^p1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 57

11/1

Hasn't always looked the most straightforward but has fallen to a tempting handicap mark and was very well backed when fifth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, soft, 10/3) 20 days ago, possibly unsuited by the track. He's not one to write off with cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 1787-05

Ballybaymoonshiner^v²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: M McGrath| OR: 55

14/1

Back down to his last winning mark ran right up to his best when winning 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 25 days ago. Yet to prove himself as effective on turf / over 6f but respected on the back of his most recent effort.

Form: 250-441

Forecasts

Papabella (6/4), Savannah Smiles (4/1), Connie's Rose (9/2), Roach Power (7/1), Dark Dreamer (15/2), Vaunted (10/1), Stalingrad (10/1), Call Time (11/1), Ballybaymoonshiner (14/1)

A wide-open affair and it could pay to side with the consistent SAVANNAH SMILES who arrives on the back of three placed efforts here and looks to have solid claims once again. Call Time isn't the most straightforward but he was well backed when failing to capitalise on his falling handicap mark at Brighton last time and could be worth another chance on a different track with headgear fitted. Papabella did best of those up with the pace at Windsor last time and should be in the mix again.
