Tara Iti^p⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 111| CD

18/1

4-time winner over hurdles for James Owen this year but below form on Flat for the yard more recently. Back over hurdles on first start for new stable but may need a bit more respite from the handicapper.

Form: 217104

Fourtowns^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: James Best| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 109

6/1

Back to his best with a smooth-travelling success at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) on second start for new yard and shaped as if still in good form when runner-up behind a handicap debutant at Stratford (18.7f). Going with plenty of zest in his races and should give a good account back over 2m.

Form: 520-612

Poncho^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 103| CD

5/1

Winner over C&D as a novice but yet to threaten in handicap hurdles. Arrives in good heart following a victory on the Flat at Goodwood (2m) last month but isn't one for maximum faith dropping back down in distance on hurdles return.

Form: FF7/456-

Mistress Emma²⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 103| D

5/1

Won a Worcester bumper on debut in June 2022 but off for 30 months before finishing second on hurdles debut at Newbury. Showed improvement despite doing plenty wrong (took strong hold) when third at Warwick (19f) and remains open to progress on handicap debut for top yard.

Form: 1/23-

Jorebel¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 102

4/5

Arrives on the up, winning back-to-back handicaps at Fontwell (17.7f) and improved to land the hat-trick upped in trip at Worcester (20f) last month, looking value for a bit extra. He's likely to be ridden positively back down in trip and should make a bold bid for the 4-timer.

Form: 043-111

Voix De Bocelli¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 97

25/1

Fair winner at 10f on Flat but remains a maiden over jumps, best effort when third in a 2m handicap at Hereford in January. Didn't show much spark on the Flat last month and could be vulnerable to improvers back over hurdles.

Form: F46376-

Mi Sueno^p¹⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Kimber| T: P Butler| OR: 76| CD

100/1

Won a C&D handicap in March 2024 but arrives badly out of sorts, well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Fontwell in April. Plenty to prove from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Jorebel (4/5), Poncho (5/1), Mistress Emma (5/1), Fourtowns (6/1), Birthday Angel (8/1), Tara Iti (18/1), Voix De Bocelli (25/1), Mi Sueno (100/1)

JOREBEL arrives on the up and may be able to land the 4-timer under a positive ride back down in trip. Handicap debutante Mistress Emma is feared, especially if the market indicates she's ready to roll on her return, while Fourtowns has been in excellent heart for new connections and should be in the mix again.
