Berry Clever²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 67

11/1

Runner-up here in April. Strong form (race has produced multiple winners) when second at Southwell 48 days ago. Struggled up in class when ninth of 13 in 7f handicap at Southwell 3 weeks ago but remains one to be interested back down in grade from below his last successful mark.

Maid In Chelsea²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 66

9/1

Without a win in 8 starts since landing novice double for previous yard last October. Ran to similar level as on stable debut when 4th of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (AW) over 7f (12/1) 23 days ago. Will need to build on that and prove her stamina now upped in trip.

5/2

Little form before winning a 12-runner handicap at Windsor (15/2) 17 days ago when fitted with first-time blinkers, wandering before asserting late. Looked quirky that day but is bred to keep on improving if headgear can keep him in check.

Form: 8-7671

18/1

Ran creditably in maiden/novice races at Southwell early 2025 but below form in handicaps, finishing sixth of 13 in 7f AW handicap at Newcastle (4/1) 20 days ago stepping up on previous run but never looking like justifying support. Interesting to see if money comes again on just second turf start.

Dream Pirate¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: T Kent| OR: 65| CD

4/1

C&D winner has placed in 5 starts since June. Again awkwardly away when 3rd at Wolverhampton (9/2) 12 days ago but arrives in good heart and is one to consider given previous course form.

Lordsbridge Grey²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: S Woods| OR: 69

16/1

Showed fair form when 4th in two maiden races but proved disappointing when 6th of 12 at Chelmsford (15/2) 21 days ago with tongue strap (now removed). Worth a check to see if the market expects him to improve now handicapping back on turf.

Dashing Donkey⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: W Stone| OR: 64| CD

5/2

Dual course winner arrives better than ever having won his last two starts at Newmarket over 8f, most recently finishing first of 8 in handicap (2/1) 48 days ago when making all before going clear 1f out. Commands respect in current mood given previous course form.

A tricky puzzle. BERRY CLEVER has gone close over this C&D a couple of times and the form of his second at Southwell last month could hardly have worked out better. He's taken to bounce back returned to a more realistic grade, while Dream Pirate got back on track last time and is feared most having ran well here previously. Society Lion capitalised on a falling mark here last season and looks an interesting contender for his in-form yard now dropped markedly in grade following a break.
