Retraction¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54

11/4

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. However, after 6 months off he was unlucky not to finish closer when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1) 13 days ago, denied clear run 1f out. Enters calculations.

Form: 333-593

Celtic John³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 52

5/1

Still looking for his first victory and, after 7 months off, he offered little when tenth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 14/1) 35 days ago. Needs to leave his reappearance run well behind.

Form: 58089-0

Velvet Vortex¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 50| BF

14/1

Encouraging fourth at Chelmsford (7f) in February, but with hood left off he wasn't in the same form when eighth of 11 in handicap at the same course (8f, 9/4) 2 weeks later. Needs to get back on the up after 5 months off.

Form: 0464-48

Semser^b²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 49| C

8/1

Course winner, but 18 runs since last success back in 2023. In first-time blinkers, raced too freely when fifth of 8 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good, 13/2) 27 days ago. Needs everything to drop right if he's to end his losing run.

Form: 5526-55

Reel Power¹⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Laura Pearson| T: P Butler| OR: 46| D

200/1

Good third at Kempton (8f) in November but has gone backwards from that effort in 3 starts since, eighth of 9 in handicap at the same course (7f, 100/1) when last seen in February. Has enough to prove.

Form: 4/030-08

(2)

Capallcliste¹²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 46

50/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs but respectable efforts last 2 starts, fifth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 25/1) on latest outing in March. More needed if he's to break his duck.

Form: 220-855

Beautiful Dawn⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: James Owen| OR: 45| D

1/1

Went without a win for Derek Shaw, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/1) 84 days ago. However, she's on a reduced mark and is an interesting contender as she makes first start for James Owen.

Form: 388949

Forecasts

Beautiful Dawn (1/1), Retraction (11/4), Star Of St Louis (4/1), Celtic John (5/1), Semser (8/1), Velvet Vortex (14/1), Alyara (33/1), Capallcliste (50/1), Reel Power (200/1)

Having dropped a long way in the weights, BEAUTIFUL DAWN could be worth chancing having joined a yard which has an excellent record with rejuvenating its new recruits. Next on the list is Retraction, who shaped promisingly after 6 months off when third at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, with Star of St Louis the pick of the remainder.
