Uncle Dick^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68| CD

7/2

Seven-time C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Goodwood (9f, good) 25 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Blinkers back on and, having fallen to a workable mark, he's dangerous to discount.

25/1

Below form third of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/1). Off 6 months and it's likely that she will again find one or two too good.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: W J Knight| OR: 66| CD

11/4

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 22 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

H Key Lails^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 66| D

14/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/2) 19 days ago. The challenge is now to prove that he can reproduce that form back on turf (record currently stands at 0-12 on grass).

Form: 231-441

Buy The Dip¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 63| CD

15/8

C&D winner. 11/8, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should give another good account.

Form: 68-6221

(3)

Poetic Force²²

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| CD

9/2

4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (7f, good) 22 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. 4 lb rise no great hardship and another bold show anticipated.

Forecasts

Buy The Dip (15/8), Blenheim Star (11/4), Uncle Dick (7/2), Poetic Force (9/2), Havana Mojito (8/1), H Key Lails (14/1), Rating (25/1)

UNCLE DICK is now 3 lb lower in the weights than when recording his latest success here last August and an eighth C&D success could be within reach. The veteran Poetic Force deservedly resumed winning ways over 7f here last month and he is likely to pose a threat, while Buy The Dip and Havana Mojito could also have parts to play.
