14/1

Opened account over this trip at Lingfield last summer. Not been in same form in handful of starts since but got no luck in running here last time and has dropped to a handy mark.

Form: 6/170-44

Sunny Corner¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: W S Kittow| OR: 67| BF| CD

3/1

Right back to best when second of 8 in Newbury handicap over this trip last month. Not in same form at Chepstow since but must enter calculations here.

Flag Carrier²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: H Crouch| T: Brian Toomey| OR: 66

5/2

Chelmsford City winner (7f) in March who was returning from 4-month absence when creditable second of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and looks a likely player.

Gladiadora¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 62| D

6/1

Found improvement when decisively taking 4-runner novice at Bath (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago, driven clear. This is more competitive but she looks sure to make another bold bid.

11/2

Won a Yarmouth handicap for Ed Walker last autumn but well below that level in a couple of starts earlier this year, including on debut for new yard at Southwell in February. Bit to prove on first outing since.

Form: 0123-65

Jet Packer^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: J R Boyle| OR: 63

6/1

Long-standing maiden who has been below best of late. Addition of visor for first time needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 637046

Little She^t1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T E Whelan| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 59

12/1

Never reached a challenging position at Windsor latest but had run up to best when fourth in C&D handicap previously and can't be ruled out. Tongue strap on first time.

Forecasts

Flag Carrier (5/2), Sunny Corner (3/1), Fernando (11/2), Gladiadora (6/1), Jet Packer (6/1), Little She (12/1), Hoornblower (14/1)

Preference is for FLAG CARRIER, who found only a less-exposed sort too good when returning from a break at Doncaster last month and remains fairly treated. Gladiadora and Sunny Corner can also make their presence felt.
