South Dakota Sioux⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Grace McEntee| T: J Butler| OR: 62| C| D

6/1

Course winner in January. 7/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 47 days ago, finishing with running left. Entitled to come on for that run, as it was his first following an 11-week break, and he's not without hope.

Form: 02-1227

Dark Dreamer¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Havlin| T: M Murphy| OR: 62| D

9/2

Tenth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. That was a low-key display, but he made the frame twice at Chelmsford prior to that and is dangerous to discount off this reduced mark.

Form: 0-07440

Macs Dilemma^h²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 61| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks booked for another struggle.

Form: 637-047

(2)

Master Dandy^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Michael Keady| OR: 61| D

6/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 24 days ago and, though how 6 lb below his last winning mark, some of the others are more appealing.

Form: 676865

Noble Phoenix¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: D Flood| OR: 62

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Kempton (7f). Off 139 days ahead of this debut for new yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 356-89

(11)

Not Just Yet⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 54

20/1

One win from 31 Flat runs and that success was gained back in 2023. Fifth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Bath (5f, good to firm) 46 days ago and he's likely to come up short once again.

Form: 439485

(5)

Ballsgrove Boy¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 59| D

3/1

Winner at Kempton in May and has followed that breakthrough success with a couple of creditable efforts in defeat, including when second of 10 in handicap (9/2) back at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 230132

Early Release⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 59| D

18/1

8/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 41 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 360267

(10)

Koji^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 54| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm, 80/1) 22 days ago. Capable of a bold show, but she's hard to recommend with any great confidence given her very patchy profile.

Form: 97819-9

(7)

Hidden Verse⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 57| D

5/2

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 5 days ago, well on top finish. Escapes a penalty for that and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue, he looks sure to go well with Elizabeth Gale again in the hot-seat.

Form: 413741

(4)

Bust A Moon^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: I W McInnes| OR: 57

40/1

Winner at Beverley in May, but that's starting to feel like a long time ago having finished nearer last than first all 3 starts for present connections.

Form: 123590

Jake Loves Laura²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: C Hobson| OR: 57

33/1

Last of 5 in handicap (22/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 26 days ago and while she wasn't ideally placed there, her record now stands at 0-10 and others make more appeal.

Form: 390385

Forecasts

Hidden Verse (5/2), Fancy Dancer (11/4), Ballsgrove Boy (3/1), Dark Dreamer (9/2), Master Dandy (6/1), South Dakota Sioux (6/1), Koji (14/1), Early Release (18/1), Not Just Yet (20/1), Jake Loves Laura (33/1), Macs Dilemma (33/1), Bust A Moon (40/1), Noble Phoenix (66/1)

It's hard to get away from HIDDEN VERSE, who escapes a penalty for his recent decisive success at Chepstow and, though 0-3 on the all-weather, he performed with credit on his sole previous visit here during the spring. A winner of two of her last three starts and open to further improvement, Fancy Dancer is the clear main danger ahead of Dark Dreamer and South Dakota Sioux.
