Bondi⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

11/2

Saxon Warrior colt who caught the eye with the late progress he made when fourth of 12 in novice at this course (8.1f, good) 49 days ago. Just the type to progress further now handicapping and this marked increase in trip should suit judged on pedigree. One to note.

Solar Pass²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 67| BF

5/2

Made it third time lucky in maidens when off the mark at Lingfield (1m) in January. Unable to justify strong support after 5 months off when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 27 days ago but she may well come on for that.

Form: 72-14

Ray Gun^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 66

33/1

Winner at Kempton in February but hasn't been firing on all cylinders more recently, first-time blinkers failing to spark a revival when last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, soft) 16 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded now and bounce back called for.

Twilight Moon⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 65

11/8

Still a maiden following 8 attempts but definite signs her turn may not be far away of late, good second of 9 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm, 9/4) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Nudged up 3 lb on the back of that but she's of definite interest nevertheless.

Form: 226-832

Infantry Officer⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 62

7/2

Different proposition switched to handicaps/upped in trip, landing back-to-back Wolverhampton contests (at up to 12.2f) in March. Couldn't complete the hat-trick up in grade when fourth at Southwell the following month but possible we've not yet seen all he has to offer.

Naturally^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Egan| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 59

80/1

Modest maiden for Ed Walker at 2 and whilst she stepped up on a low-key return/stable debut effort when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 66/1) 14 days ago, she never really threatened. More required with the tongue strap retained.

TWILIGHT MOON highlighted her turn was near when runner-up in a 9-runner handicap at Bath 9 days ago (pulled clear of the rest) and she looks to hold solid claims of proving the point here. Solar Pass couldn't justify support on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 4 weeks ago but may be sharper now given that was her first start for 5 months. Bondi is a handicap newcomer to note.
