Many A Star^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 82| D

12/1

Three wins from 13 runs this year. 10/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago and he's likely to find a few too good once again.

Form: 744765

Aberama Gold^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: R Kingscote| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

9/4

Won 18-runner handicap (7/2) at York (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, driven out. 2 lb rise unlikely to debar another bold show from this 8-y-o.

33/1

33/1, last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 59 days ago and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 17/15-09

Imperial Guard²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Dods| OR: 79| D

9/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Down to a workable mark and one to consider with Oisin Murphy booked.

Form: 2-83436

Fantasy Master^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 76| D

16/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 18 days ago and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 611-596

(2)

Spring Bloom²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 73| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Respectable 3½ lengths fifth of 11 to Another Abbot in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. Lurking on a good mark and he could have a part to play.

Form: 4-62545

(7)

Deadly Kiss^h1¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton| OR: 77

50/1

Seventh of 8 in minor event (89/10) at Toulouse (6f, good to soft). Off 145 days ahead of this handicap/yard debut and needs to get back on track.

Form: 7-17

(13)

Shazani⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S R Bowring| OR: 76| D

18/1

25/1, first run since leaving Charlie Johnston when ninth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 43 days ago, met some trouble. Others preferred.

Form: 90273-9

Minnesota Lad²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 71| BF| D

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 11/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 22 days ago, hampered. Modest strike rate (2-30) and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 502365

(12)

Nordic Games^v1,t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 67

33/1

Winner at Southwell in May. Last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/1) 16 days ago. No show sole previous run on turf and big step forward needed in a first-time visor here.

Forecasts

Aberama Gold (9/4), Imperial Guard (9/4), Spring Bloom (4/1), Another Abbot (4/1), Minnesota Lad (11/2), Dashing Dick (6/1), Zubaru (8/1), Many A Star (12/1), Fantasy Master (16/1), Shazani (18/1), Albert Cee (33/1), Nordic Games (33/1), Deadly Kiss (50/1)

Despite being surprisingly easy to back, ANOTHER ABBOT got the job done over C&D last month and he is taken to follow up off this 5 lb higher mark. Fellow last-time-out scorer Aberama Gold, who was successful at York last weekend, is feared most. Dashing Dick and Spring Bloom, third and fifth respectively in the aforementioned C&D handicap won by Another Abbot, are others with claims.
