12/1
Latest win at Kempton (1m) in January and twice placed in handicaps here prior to a lesser effort when tenth of 11 in handicap over 1m here 11 days ago. Refitting of a visor (in place of cheekpieces) may sharpen him up.

5/1
3-time C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, short of room over 1f out and keeping on. Interesting from this sort of mark and well worth considering.

5/2
3-time C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 9 days ago, running on. No reason why he won't give another good account.

10/1
One win from 40 Flat runs (gained here over 11.6f). 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, soft) 18 days ago, seemingly finding the test too much. Return to this quicker surface can help.

5/4
Son of Australia who finished down the field in handful of novice/maidens at up to 7f as a juvenile. However, no surprise to see him prove a different proposition now handicapping over this much longer trip on return (also gelded). Well worth considering.

25/1
10/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 22 days ago, losing place when hampered after 4f. Still, overall record is far from inspiring and first-time blinkers need to bring about marked improvement.

Forecasts

Launceston (5/4), Galactic Glow (5/2), Blue Hero (5/1), Ladypacksapunch (10/1), Villalobos (12/1), Split Silk (25/1)

Verdict

LAUNCESTON was down the field in 5 starts as a juvenile, yet his pedigree/connections suggest he can prove a different proposition now handicapping over this much longer trip and he earns the vote to prove as much before market clues. Should the selection fail to meet expectations, Blue Hero may well be the one to take advantage. Galactic Glow can place once more.

  1. Launceston5/4
  2. Blue Hero5/1
  3. Galactic Glow5/2
