5/1
C&D winner who was successful 4 times last year for Darryll Holland and confirmed himself back on reasonable heart for present stable when third of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good) 15 days ago. Definite possibilities back on all-weather.

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap here (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Expected to be firmly in the mix again up 5 lb.

18/1
C&D winner who stepped up on his stable debut effort when finishing runner-up at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in June. However, went the wrong way from that when eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 32 days ago. Still, not taken lightly in an open-looking handicap.

10/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2024. First run since leaving James Horton when third of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 30 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Entitled to be sharper with that run behind him and better showing anticipated.

Scored over this trip in France during spring of last year but offered little in 2 starts upon returning this time around, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 28/1) 11 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.

2/1
Showcasing gelding who has stepped up a little on each of her 3 starts in maiden/novice company, fifth of 8 in novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 72 days ago. Had breathing operation ahead of this switch to handicaps and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

22/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in maiden at this course (8f, AW) 18 days ago. Return to handicaps certainly in her favour from this much reduced mark but her draw could have been kinder.

Successful from 3 lb higher mark at Kempton (7f) back in February. Form has been rather up and down since on AW/turf but joined a yard boasting an excellent record with new recruits and no surprise to see a bold showing.

C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 6/1) 31 days ago. Each-way possibilities again.

Forecasts

Hockney (2/1), Penelope Valentine (16/5), Bluebells Boy (5/1), Big Bard (13/2), Alashos (10/1), Fai Fai (11/1), Master Dandy (18/1), I Can Imagine (20/1), Kakarotto (33/1)

Verdict

No shortage of chances in this handicap but PENELOPE VALENTINE arrives 3 lb below the mark she defied at Kempton earlier in the year and, having joined the excellent James Owen yard, she could well be up to dispelling a lesser effort on turf and bouncing back. Big Bard, a winner on turf here 5 weeks ago and Alashos head the dangers, along with Bluebells Boy.

  1. Penelope Valentine16/5
  2. Big Bard13/2
  3. Alashos10/1
