King of The Dance^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 52| D

7/2

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March (8.6f) and has proved consistent thereafter. As good as he's been for these connections when third of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, soft, 9/1) 15 days ago. Should be in the mix again.

Form: 713533

Rival^b1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: J L Flint| OR: 52| CD

13/2

On a long losing run but is now 14 lb lower than when winning over this C&D in 2022. Placed in a higher grade than this last season and was entitled to need his comeback run (following 11 months) at Chepstow 15 days ago. Interesting contender sporting blinkers for the first time.

Form: 83625-6

Change Of Fortune¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 49

11/2

Longstanding maiden but more encouragement on latest start when second of 8 in conditions race (7/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago, for all he did have the run of race from the front. Remains to be seen if he can back that up over a shorter trip on turf.

Form: 39-0742

Glencalvie^p⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Leavy| T: A Wintle| OR: 46| D

13/2

Some positives about his penultimate effort when fourth at Nottingham (8.4f) but ran no sort of race at Chepstow (8.1f) last month. Will need to bounce back if he's to capitalise on a career low mark.

Form: 86-8640

Scarfo⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Aidan Keeley| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 45

8/1

Yet to better poor form for current connections and again looked slightly awkward under pressure when fourth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 6 days ago, hung left over 1f out. Others preferred.

Form: 466054

Almizan¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

12/1

Has offered something to work with (albeit poor form) on previous two starts on the all-weather, finished third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 10 days ago. Will need to take a step forward on her return to turf.

Form: 0-89053

Scenario^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 51

15/2

Has showed some improvement for the switch to handicaps, backed up previous all-weather effort returned to turf when fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 20 days ago. One of the least exposed and could have more to offer with cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 70-634

(1)

Yquem¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Egan| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 50

4/1

Little impact in Irish sprint maidens but looks to have been campaigned with handicaps in mind. Now steps up to 1m and is one to note in the betting with David Egan an interesting jockey booking on handicap debut.

Form: 970

Forecasts

King of The Dance (7/2), Yquem (4/1), Change Of Fortune (11/2), Glencalvie (13/2), Rival (13/2), Scenario (15/2), Scarfo (8/1), Almizan (12/1)

RIVAL hasn't tasted success since winning over C&D in 2022 but is now on a career low mark and this could be the time to catch him with blinkers on for the first time following a pipe-opener at Chepstow earlier this month. King of the Dance is in excellent heart at present and holds solid claims, while it would be interesting if market support comes for Irish raider and handicap debutante Yquem.
