State Of Madness⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 52| CD

2/7

Joined new yard and landed a gamble in a C&D handicap 9 days ago, drawing clear despite hanging left. Coming here under a penalty suggests connections are keen to strike while the iron is hot and he'll take some stopping.

Form: 5-23501

16/1

Won over C&D 17 days ago but was no match for State of Madness back here last week and no reason why he'll reverse that form.

50/1

Showed occasional promise on AW but finished last of 10 at Nottingham (33/1) 170 days ago, running poorly on return to turf. First run for new trainer and cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Fai Fai^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: D Steele| OR: 51| D

9/2

Has shown strong form at Brighton with 3 placed efforts from 3 starts this year, including two narrow seconds. Finished third to State of Madness despite not getting clear run. Winless in 20 starts but can make presence felt again.

Grovely Belle^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 50

12/1

Eased in class and another creditable effort when third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (11/1) 17 days ago, leading briefly before headed. Yet to win in 11 career starts but she can remain competitive.

22/1

Remains below his 2024 level but did show a bit more when sixth of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (18/1) 24 days ago, weakening final furlong. Return to 6f probably in his favour.

40/1

Won a 7f handicap at Chepstow (66/1) in 2024 but eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (28/1) 33 days ago. Now tries a shorter trip and he may strip fitter with that return under his belt.

Forecasts

State Of Madness (2/7), Fai Fai (9/2), Grovely Belle (12/1), Roman Spring (16/1), Thismydream (22/1), Haveagobeau (28/1), Six Of Diamonds (28/1), Liricist (40/1), Inconspicuous (50/1), Invincible Storm (50/1), Agapanther (100/1), Bluesy Moon (100/1)

STATE OF MADNESS was impressive when bolting up over C&D nine days ago, seeing off several re-opposing rivals despite hanging left, and he can follow up under a penalty for his excellent young trainer. Fai Fai has been ultra-consistent at this track with three placed efforts from three starts here this year and looks the main danger. Grovely Belle is another to consider.
