Toussarok⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| CD

2/1

Had been out of form with three poor runs on AW over winter but well prepared following 6 months off when cashing in on a lowly mark 7f handicap at this course (9/2) 7 days ago. Previous C&D winner seems sure to go well.

Form: 9848-01

Battle Point⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 44

50/1

Established as a poor performer these days, sixth of 8 in classified stakes at C&D (40/1) 7 days ago, racing freely before weakening.

Form: 667726

Dream By Day^p,h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Pattinson| OR: 50

22/1

Without a win in 12 attempts since August 2023, finished fifth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (12/1) 15 days ago, bumped at start and hung left when ridden. Cheekpieces back on and they may help improve focus.

Form: 0-49645

(9)

Juan Cool Dude⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: A J Farragher| T: S Hodgson| OR: 44

20/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts, finished 8th of 13 at Windsor (14/1) 8 days ago failing to build on mild promise of his Wolverhampton run. Tongue strap removed for drop back in trip.

Form: 25-7758

(6)

Lady In Havana⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 49| D

9/2

Modest handicapper, fourth of 9 at this C&D (16/1) 70 days ago and second of 6 in a 5f handicap at Les Landes 11 days ago, beaten a head. Can be a factor at this level.

Form: 00-4949

Liege^e/s¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: S Hodgson| OR: 44

66/1

Poor performer yet to win in 17 starts, finishing fourth of 6 in classified stakes at Bath (12/1) 13 days ago. Back down in trip but needs to raise his game.

Form: 598964

(2)

Roman Spring^p,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 44| BF

14/1

Remains winless after 28 career starts and was last of 8 at this C&D (10/3) 7 days ago when blowing chance with slow start.

Form: 86-6448

(3)

Supernova Steps²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 50| D

7/4

Slow starts have been an issue but returned to form when fourth of 12 in a handicap at Chester (16/1) over 7.6f 25 days ago, leading early and remaining prominent before being one-paced late on. Looks well suited by this drop back to 6f and can make presence felt in this classified stakes.

Form: 54-9494

(5)

Voodoo Ray^b¹⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 49| CD

12/1

Poor form recently, last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (40/1) when slowly into stride. Blinkers back on, needs to recapture past form at this venue on return from an absence.

Form: 34500-9

Forecasts

Supernova Steps (7/4), Toussarok (2/1), Lady In Havana (9/2), Voodoo Ray (12/1), Roman Spring (14/1), Juan Cool Dude (20/1), Dream By Day (22/1), Battle Point (50/1), Liege (66/1)

SUPERNOVA STEPS looks well suited by the drop back to 6f after a promising fourth at Chester and she looks the answer down in grade with Rossa Ryan taking over. Toussarok won a 7f handicap here 7 days ago on his return to action and is the obvious threat. Dream By Day completes the shortlist with cheekpieces back on potentially helping improve his focus.
