Chourmo^h⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 55| CD

Three-time C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 9/1) 5 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and this 5-y-o will probably find one or two too good.

Voltaic¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| C

10/1

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable third of 6 in minor event at this course (7f, good, 4/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip and his stamina has to be taken on trust given that most recent attempts beyond 7f have not proved fruitful. Yard also runs Unknown Journey.

11/1

13/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 27 days ago. Back up in trip and this 10-race maiden needs to raise his game a notch.

Forecasts

Beautiful Dawn (10/11), Chourmo (10/3), Fighting Poet (13/2), Voltaic (10/1), Unknown Journey (11/1), Mc'ted (14/1), Bird About Town (150/1)

The two with the most appealing claims are BEAUTIFUL DAWN and Fighting Poet, given that Chourmo's recent efforts not been particularly inspiring and the doubts surrounding the suitability of this trip where Voltaic is concerned. Fighting Poet's two career wins were gained off higher marks here in 2024 and he's greatly respected with Jim Crowley aboard. Still, Beautiful Dawn has performed with credit both starts since joining the James Owen yard and she shades preference.
