Analytical Engine^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Murphy| OR: 50

33/1

Upped in trip with tongue strap added, failed to improve making handicap debut when eighth of 9 at Chelmsford City (8f, 22/1) 35 days ago, again racing freely. Drop to sprinting could help as she switches to turf.

Form: 68-78

B Associates¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: James Owen| OR: 50| D

7/4

Making first start since rejoining former yard having left Micky Hammond, unsuited by drop back in trip when last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 9/1) 17 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back dropped in grade.

Form: 0-68559

Due Date^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Wallis| OR: 48| D

17/2

Successful in this grade at Chelmsford in January and ran respectably back on turf when third of 10 in minor event (20/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good) 20 days ago. Could be in the mix.

Form: 255763

Magic Fluke^p1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 43| D

28/1

Has shown only poor form this year, refusing to race on penultimate outing. In first-time visor, little impression when sixth of 9 in minor event (25/1) at Southwell (5f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Form: 5357R6

Malham Tarn Cove^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 47| D

5/1

Only one win from 22 Flat runs, but stepped up on recent outing when third of 11 in minor event at this course (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 44 days ago. Return to this trip should suit so he's not ruled out.

Form: 3773-73

Peachey Carnehan^v¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 37| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2024. Finished closer than previously this year when 5 lengths fifth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 40/1) 15 days ago, but others still preferred.

Form: 789005

Sam's Hope^t⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 49

8/1

Twelve runs since sole success last year and ran no sort of race when ninth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 47 days ago. Back down in trip on first run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll.

Form: 267279

Shades Of May^v1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass| T: M D I Usher| OR: 43

20/1

Still looking for first success and has been struggling for form, tried in cheekpieces when ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, heavy, 22/1) 40 days ago. Visor now reached for.

Form: 376789

Miss Cast^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

20/1

Modest filly. Wasn't in the same form as previous outing when fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 10 days ago. However, she could be capable of getting involved at this level if on a going day.

Form: 035064

Rock Master²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: S Woods| OR: 48

11/2

Remains a maiden but has made the frame last 2 starts, running in this grade for the first time when second of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good, 9/1) 20 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 363642

(4)

Sugar Kane^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 46

7/1

Making only fifth start, was tried in tongue strap and bettered previous efforts when fourth of 8 in minor event at Brighton (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 16 days ago. Could still have more to offer with latest effort behind her.

Form: 095-84

Forecasts

B Associates (7/4), Malham Tarn Cove (5/1), Rock Master (11/2), Sugar Kane (7/1), Sam's Hope (8/1), Due Date (17/2), Miss Cast (20/1), Shades Of May (20/1), Magic Fluke (28/1), Analytical Engine (33/1), College Witch (33/1), Peachey Carnehan (50/1)

B ASSOCIATES was successful twice in his 4 starts for James Owen last year and, having been unsuited by the return to 5f back with this stable last time, he is taken to resume winning ways as he drops in grade. Rock Master bumped into a well-treated rival at Yarmouth 20 days ago and is feared most, ahead of the lightly-raced Sugar Kane.
