Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Murphy| OR: 55| C

11/2

Had been showing little form on turf, finishing midfield in recent runs. First of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7/1) 18 days ago, staying on well under pressure to lead late. Will remain well treated if able to back up that improved performance. Engaged 19.00 Wolverhampton Saturday.

13/2

Veteran with modest form, showed improvement when fourth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (20/1) 18 days ago, keeping on and nearest at finish. Not one to write off despite advancing years but needs plenty to fall right.

Star Of Atlantis^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 52| C| D

11/1

Ran well when second at Bath in July but finished seventh of 8 at this course and distance (13/2) 20 days ago when pulling hard early and weakening late. Needs to settle better to show true ability.

Diligent Henry^b³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 51| BF| CD

3/1

Won over course and distance in April and ran respectably when third at Doncaster shortly after. Finished fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell over 6f (7/2) 36 days ago, shaping as if returning to form. Claims back at the scene of his sole success.

5/1

Has a C&D win last November. Fourth of 13 at Southwell (13/2) 20 days ago when racing wide and not settling fully from a double-figure draw. More competitive back at this favoured track.

11/4

Turned in best effort of the season when second of 13 in 7f handicap at Southwell (20/1) 20 days ago, took strong hold but stayed on. May be finding form now returned to 7f.

Form: 2-77702

50/1

No win in 18 starts, most recently finishing last of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (40/1) 13 days ago when running no sort of race. Hard to make a case based on current form.

Forecasts

Sands Of Dubai (11/4), Diligent Henry (3/1), Arlecchino's Rex (5/1), Hint Of The Jungle (11/2), Reputation (13/2), Thomas Equinas (10/1), Star Of Atlantis (11/1), Vecchio (25/1), Twilight Poppy (33/1), Lady Dorchester (50/1)

DILIGENT HENRY won over this course and distance in April and shaped well despite interference last time out at Southwell. He gets the vote back at the scene of his sole success. Thomas Equinas is better on the all-weather and is feared most in a change of headgear, while Hint of The Jungle could follow up his recent Southwell success if in similar form.
